Where are the Huns and Khitans in history now?

Historically, the Huns are now the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Ningxia Autonomous Region, Mongolia, Xinjiang Autonomous Region and other regions. Most of them are integrated into the Han nationality, most of them are Liu, and they are distributed in the north of China. The rest developed to the west.

Historically, Khitan lived in today's Mongolia and northeast China, and lived a life of semi-farming and semi-herding. His language belongs to Mongolian family of Altai language family.

Others, such as Tubo, the ancestor of Tibetans now, have always occupied the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Uighurs, originally in Mongolian grassland, were expelled to Xinjiang by Turks, and they are the ancestors of Uighurs in China.

One ran down from the southern end of Daxinganling. The Khitans called it the Xilamulun River, also known as "Yellow Water", and the literature wrote "Yellow River". Another river comes from the western end of Yiwulu Mountain. It is called Laoha River, also called Tuhe River. The Khitan nationality rose in the Xilamulun River and Laoha River basins.
