Why are Nantong people descended from Mongols?

Contemporary Nantong people are a special race formed after generations of marriage between Mongolian and Han in Yuan Dynasty. It is said that Mongols originally had no surname. Later, many Mongolian surnames were Bao and Bao, as well as Jin, Mao, Bao, Qiang and Da, all of which were Mongolian surnames. There are many more in Nantong. Nantong people are mainly immigrants, including ancient Jiangnan people and Huaiyang people, and even some prisoners and fugitives who were sent to serve their sentences.

The development of history

Brush Jiang, one of the four famous sons in the late Ming Dynasty, is a descendant of the Mongolian royal family, and there are still many impostors in Nantong. Luo, a poet in the early Tang Dynasty, lived in seclusion in Nantong until his death because of his failure to resist the female emperor Wu Zetian. Now Wolf Mountain has his grave.

At the end of Yuan Dynasty, after Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang failed to compete for the world, most of his subordinates and descendants also hid here. It is said that some ethnic surnames in Nantong did not compile genealogy because they avoided disaster. The official language of Nantong is the so-called Nanchang dialect, which is different from Huaiyang dialect and Wu dialect. This is an interesting language island phenomenon.

In fact, Nanchang dialect is a special language in which Mongolian was later merged into Chinese. Its pronunciation is obviously tough in the north, with many tones and hard tones. Anyone who has heard the Mongolian version of auspicious Sambo songs will feel that the pronunciation of Mongolian is somewhat close to Nanchang dialect in Nantong now.
