Where are the ancient Liao, Jin and Xiongnu people from now?

The Liao people are the Khitan people. During the heyday of the Liao Dynasty, its territory extended to the Sea of ??Japan in the east, the Altai Mountains in the west, the Ergun River and the Greater Khingan Range in the north, and the Baigou River in southern Hebei Province in the south.

The Jin people are the Jurchen people. On the land of Northeast Asia live the Jurchen tribe, a Tungus ethnic group inherited from the Blackwater Mohe. That is now the three eastern provinces.

The Huns are the Huns. When the Xiongnu were strong, they defeated Donghu in the east, annexed Loulan and Henan Kingdom in the south, attacked Yuezhi and other countries in the Western Regions in the west, and conquered Dingling and Jiankun in the northwest in the north. The scope is centered on the Mongolian Plateau and extends to the eastern part of Inner Mongolia in the east. It was adjacent to the Qin and Han Dynasties along the Great Wall in the south, and once controlled the Hetao and Ordos areas. It crosses the Altai Mountains to the west, reaches the Congling Mountains and the Fergana Basin, and reaches the surroundings of Lake Baikal in the north. It is called "the great country of hundreds of barbarians". It is divided into south and north with the Great Gobi as the center. The difference from today is that there were a large number of trees in the mountainous areas of Monan, such as the Yinshan Mountains, and there were vast grasslands in the flatlands.

The Liao Dynasty (907 AD - 1125 AD) was a feudal dynasty established in northern China by the Khitan people in Chinese history. In 916 AD, Yelu Abaoji, Taizu of the Liao Dynasty, unified all the Khitan tribes and became the Emperor of Heaven. The country was named "Khitan" and its capital was Linhuang Mansion (now Nanboluo City, Balinzuo Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia). In 947 AD, Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty led his army south to the Central Plains, attacked and destroyed the Later Jin Dynasty of the Five Dynasties, and changed the name of the country to "Liao". In 983, it was renamed "Great Khitan". In 1066, Liao Daozong Yelu Hongji restored the country's name to "Liao". In 1125, it was destroyed by the Jin Kingdom.

The Jurchen tribe, also known as privet and nvzhi, originated from Sushen more than 3,000 years ago. From the Han to the Jin Dynasty, it was called Yilou, from the Southern and Northern Dynasties to Wuji, from the Sui to the Tang Dynasty, it was called Heishui Mohe. During the dynasty, they were called "Jurchen" and "Nvzhi" (to avoid the real taboo of Xingzong of Liao Dynasty and Yelu Zong). The period when the national form was basically formed was around the time of the Tang Dynasty and the Jinzhong Window. The name "Jurchen" first appeared in the early Tang Dynasty.

Professed tribulation to the Khitan in the 11th century. Jurchens in the Liao Dynasty were divided into raw Jurchens and mature Jurchens. Girls are divided into dozens of tribes, among which the Wanyan tribe is the largest. At the beginning of the 11th century, Wanyan Suike settled in Yanchuhushui (now the Ash River southeast of Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province). His son Wanyan Shilu became the chief and conquered nearby tribes and established a tribal alliance. Shilu's son Wanyan Wugunai merged many tribes. In 1113, Wugunai's grandson Wanyan Aguda succeeded him. In 1115, Wanyan Aguda unified the Jurchen tribes, expelled the Khitan rule, and established the Jin Dynasty. The country's name is "Dajin".

The Xiongnu are a northern nation with a long history. Their ancestors lived in the Siberia region of Eurasia. The Xiongnu in ancient Chinese books were a powerful nomadic people who dominated the north of the Central Plains during the Qin and Han Dynasties. They were expelled from the Yellow River Hetao area in 215 BC. After splitting during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the southern Xiongnu entered the Central Plains and the northern Xiongnu disappeared after migrating westward. Ancient books in China middle.
