Xiongnu is a northern nation with a long history. Their ancestors lived in Siberia in Eurasia, and they had long hair. The Huns in China ancient books were a powerful nomadic people who ruled the northern part of the Central Plains during the Qin and Han Dynasties. They were expelled from the Hetao area of the Yellow River in February15. After the split of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the southern Xiongnu entered the Central Plains, and the northern Xiongnu disappeared into China ancient books after moving westward.
Xiongnu influenced the historical process of China and Eurasia at that time, which was recorded in Historical Records, Hanshu and European medieval history books.
Modern mainstream historians generally believe that Hungarians from Central Asia and Huns from the north of the Central Plains are mixed nomadic peoples who like to fight and form an alliance with Malaysia, but they are only nations rather than ethnic groups.
According to the records of historians, the Huns are descendants of Xia Houshi. Many historians believe that this is a myth, and there is no evidence that there is no language barrier between Xiongnu and Huaxia. Sima Qian and Xiongnu were contemporaries, so he should know the Huns very well. However, there is no record in the historical records, and what they ignore the most has become an eternal mystery to people today. However, historical records do not never record people's looks. It has been recorded in history books that since Kangju West, people have high noses and deep eyes. So, where is the east of Kangju?
As a rigorous historian, Sima Qian would not regard westerners with high noses and deep intentions as descendants of Xia nationality.
In fact, no record may be the best record.
Five centuries have passed since China and the Huns of the Han Dynasty, and in the process of migration, they are likely to be highly integrated with neighboring nationalities. At this time, it is of little value to investigate the clan and appearance of the Huns.
Secondly, according to the relevant historical records of Rome, Huns are stocky, with round heads, flat noses, small eyes, less beards and riding short horses. According to these characteristics, Huns are undoubtedly Mongols.
The language is Mongolian.
Xiongnu belongs to Mongolian race and is a nomadic people in North Asia. They are an aggressive, provocative and bloody people. Western anthropologists define the representatives of Asians as Mongols, belonging to the Mongolian race.
Ma Changshou's book "The Northern Emperor and Xiongnu" points out that "the general principles of Xiongnu language and Mongolian language are not contradictory." "The customs of Xiongnu, Turkic and Tiele are the same as those of Mongolia. Mongolian components account for a considerable proportion in Turkic language.
"The descendants of the northern nationalities in China show the coexistence of Tungusic, Mongolian and Turkic, which is a relatively simple representation of the ecological integration of ancient languages. With the size of Xiongnu, its language and blood relationship are bound to be mixed; It may be more appropriate to say that it is a multi-blood and multi-language tribal alliance.
On the whole, its race and language are close to the form of later Mongols; Because Tunguska tribe is its ruling group, the language of its core tribe may be more inclined to Tunguska or Turkic.
If we know anything about the history of the west, the Mongols they mentioned migrated to the west on a large scale, either in the pre-civilization period, or in the recorded historical period, or simply invaded and swept away. North Asians are good at exploring and have been widely distributed in Eurasia since the early days of human civilization. The Lapps in Western Europe and the Eskimos in the Arctic, as well as the Finnish-Ugric language family, Hungary and Bulgaria in Central Europe, Turkey at the turn of Europe and Asia, and the Mongolian faces and cultural characteristics of Russians are all the results of their activities.
From the recorded history, there are four military invasions to the west by the grassland nationalities in North Asia. The first time was the westward migration of Huns; The second and third times marked the beginning of the history of Hungary and Bulgaria respectively; The fourth expedition was a Mongolian expedition. In this case, the first time and the fourth time were directly or indirectly related to China. The most unforgettable nightmare for Europeans is that Mongols conquer the world. We in China are no strangers to the Mongolian campaign in the13rd century. Genghis Khan's ambition led to the Yuan Dynasty being inserted into the chronology of China's history, which was a huge empire unique in human history and spanning Eurasia.
We in China are no strangers to Huns. They are northern nomadic people living in the Mongolian plateau, also known as the Hu people in history. They have been traced since the recorded chronicles. In the Yin and Shang Dynasties, it was once called Ghost Fang, Dog Rong and so on. The ancients in China thought they were descendants of the Yellow Emperor like us, descendants of the Xia people who were driven to the north by the Yin people. According to Historical Records Biography of Xiongnu, "Xiongnu is also a descendant of Xia Hou, the ancestor of Xiongnu". "Shan Hai Jing Huang Da Bei Jing" says: Quan Rong and Xia are of the same clan, both from the Yellow Emperor. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and even to the Sixteen Countries Period in Wuhu, the Huns constantly harassed the south. In the twenty-fourth year of Jianwu (48 BC), a small number of Huns, about 5,000 households, split up and joined the Han Dynasty. They are called the Southern Huns. Most of the Huns left behind, that is, the northern Huns, were defeated by the Eastern Han Empire in 89 AD. In order to maintain the integrity of their own nation, these Xiongnu people who moved westward struggled for more than 200 years in the prairie around the Caspian Sea in order to find a new home. In the second half of the 4th century (AD 360), their power suddenly broke out. The Huns, led by a king named Balambar Balambir, entered the territory of Arans, a powerful kingdom between the Volga River and the Don River, belonging to a Turkic nomadic people. Xiongnu defeated Alan's allied forces along the Don River, killed King Alan, and took Alan's army as their ally through treaty bondage and threat of force. The Huns then began to move westward, and their next conquest was ostrogoths. Since then, the most brilliant scene of this nation has begun.
