Watch the ancient teleportation map of China above. Thinking: Why is the Chinese nation also called "Huaxia"? Why do China people become "descendants of the Yellow Emperor"?

Why is the Chinese nation also called the Chinese nation? The word "Huaxia" was first found in Shangshu Zhou Shu Wucheng in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and "Huaxia is too proud to give up". "Zuo Zhuan" records: "Serve the summer." "Chu eats China in summer." "Businessmen don't seek summer, they don't seek chaos." Therefore, since ancient times, our people have called themselves Xia or Hua, or simply Xia or Hua. After the Spring and Autumn War, China became the name of our race. Other ethnic groups are called Yi, Di, Rong and Manchu. We say that the formation of a nation can only be condensed into a whole with the same language, emotion, culture, economy and territory through long-term running-in, integration and even sacrifice. It can be said that the formation of ethnic groups is a history of barbaric struggle and also a history of civilized unity. China people in Qin and Han Dynasties actually came from three ancient ethnic groups: Huaxia, Dongyi and Nanman. Among the three groups, the representative of Huaxia Group is called Yandi and the other is called Huangdi. During the decline of Emperor Shennong in Yan Di, Emperor Xuanyuan's family "used to go to war in order not to enjoy the war". After the Battle of Hanquan and the Battle of Deer Cutting, the Yellow Emperor excluded dissidents, merged, merged and unified many ethnic groups in the Central Plains, and formed the main body of the Chinese nation. Huaxia, Dongyi and Nanman are the core parts of the Chinese nation. Huaxia Group originated in the Loess Plateau of Shaanxi Province today, and has gradually spread to some places in North China and Central China along the banks of the Yellow River before history. The representative of Dongyi clan is Tai Hao. Legend has it that the rudest emperor Chiyou attacked Zhuolu and captured Chiyou, a member of Dongyi Group. Dongyi Group is adjacent to northern Shandong in the north, eastern Henan in the west, southernmost Henan in the southwest, central Anhui in the south and the sea in the east. The representatives of Na Man School are Fuxi and Nu Wa. The region of this group is Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi and so on. The formation of the Chinese nation is a process of long-term struggle and mutual integration among Huaxia, Dongyi and Nanman tribes. After the war, the victors became stronger and stronger. "Historical Records" said that the Yellow Emperor "crossed the sea eastward, climbed Maruyama Mountain, and took the place of the ancestors. As for Kong Tong in the west, it's a chicken head. As for the south river, climb Xiongxiang. Xun Yu in the north is in the same strain as Busan, and the city is in the deer. " That is to say, the Yellow Emperor served Yandi and other tribes, and his influence reached Bohai Sea in the east, Gansu in the west, Yangtze River in the south and Youling in the north, and he built an "imperial capital" in Zhuolu County, a province in Hebei Province, forming a strong and relatively stable early "country". With the passage of time and the development of history, the Huaxia people of the Yellow Emperor and his descendants have been integrated with other tribes. The marriage of Yu's Yu Shun and his two daughters means the further integration of Huaxia Group and Dongyi Group. Shun Di's conquest of Sanmiao means that a * * * hermaphrodite ethnic group-Huaxia ethnic group has basically formed, which is friendlier than hatred, friendlier than competition, more United than divorce, and intermarried from generation to generation. According to what I said earlier, the Chinese nation was formed as early as the Yao and Shun period. However, there are also people with different opinions in the history circle, who believe that the Chinese nation was formed in the Xia Dynasty. Scholars who hold this view believe that the formation of a country is based on destroying clans and tribes and diluting the concept of consanguinity. The formation of this national isomorphism is a historical process synchronized with the establishment of Xia Dynasty. At the end of primitive society, the social structure of Yanhuang era was composed of clans, clans, phratries and tribes, which did not conform to the law of national development and formation. Traditionally, the Huaxia nation was formed in Xia Dynasty, which is based on the formation of the country. However, according to modern archaeological discoveries and research, the formation of the country should be pushed forward from the Xia Dynasty for more than a thousand years. Then, it seems backward to think that the Chinese nation was formed in the Xia Dynasty. The concept of long-term backwardness stems from our ignorance of Chinese history before the summer, but we are unwilling to study it in depth. We only know Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty, thinking that China had only legends before, but no history. This concept has always bound the thinking of China historians. Some scholars believe that the Chinese nation originated in the Shang, Zhou and Warring States periods. In fact, the formation process of a nation is long and difficult, and it often goes through the repeated running-in of division, reunification, re-division and reunification, so it is difficult to accurately explain which dynasty and generation it was born in. For example, the formation of the Han nationality is based on the Huaxia nationality formed during the Yao and Shun period. After the national unification of Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn, Warring States and Qin and Han dynasties, it was able to develop into a Han nationality with a splendid ancient civilization and a large population. "Shangshu Wucheng" said: "Huaxia is quite arrogant, and it is useless to give it." "Summer, big also. Therefore, the big country is summer. China is called China. " The Collection of Cao Zijian written by Wei of the Three Kingdoms said: "China is the best." Shuowen explains "Huaxia" in this way: "Chinese people, tea is also beautiful." In other words, "Huaxia" means that the beautiful and rich Central Plains region is the home of a powerful country and nation. "Zuo Zhuan" said: "China is called Xia because of its big gifts and Hua because of its fine clothes." There is another cloud: "The coronation ceremony and colorful emblem say China, and the big country says summer." This is actually not China's original intention, but an extension. Huaxia is the predecessor of the Han nationality. Chinese people think that the Central Plains is among the four places, so they call the place where they live China. China, China, originally refers to the Central Plains of China, and later includes all the territory of China-all the territory under its jurisdiction is called China or China, also known as China. The Chinese nation is the collective name of all ethnic groups in China. It is not only a concept of consanguinity, but also a concept of geography and culture, which constitutes a whole nation with consanguinity, geography and cultural identity. It was formed by the fusion of five vassal States, east, west, north and south, in the long river of history. BC 1550, the Shang tribe living in the north of Shangqiu destroyed the middle of summer and became the masters of the Central Plains, with more land in Xuzhou and Shandong than in the Xia Dynasty. Shang tribes are of Dongyi descent, but they speak a Chinese dialect in language. Dongyi belongs to the transitional race between North Asian race and North Far East race. Their language belongs to Sino-Tibetan language family, but not to Chinese. Their language has certain influence on today's Jiaoliao Mandarin. After 500 years of rule, the Ministry of Commerce is entirely owned by China people. In BC 1050, the Zhou tribe destroyed the Shang Dynasty and established a powerful Zhou Dynasty. The territory of Zhou Dynasty was larger than that of Shang Dynasty, including Guanzhong and Yan State. Zhou tribe was originally a branch of Huaxia nationality, living in Taikang County, Henan Province, and then moved to Guanzhong. They often fought against the Qiang people and Tuhuoluo people of the Tibetan and Burmese ethnic groups, inevitably contaminated with the factors of Xirong, and their cultural concepts began to be different from those of China in the Central Plains. However, as Huaxia immigrants in Guanzhong, they are still dominated by Huaxia in blood and culture. Yan began to speak Chinese. The founder of the State of Qin was Ma Bu. The Win tribe originally lived in Tianshui, Gansu Province, and made a living by grazing. They spoke a Chinese dialect, Win, which is said to be of Dongyi descent. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, nomadic people moved to the Weihe River basin and began to operate agriculture. Orthodox Chinese has replaced the dialect of Yan tribe. Before Qin Shihuang unified the whole country, there were not only many countries but also many nationalities. It can be said that a country is a nation: Xia people live in a country established by Xia descendants, and Shang people live in a country established by Shang descendants. The main ethnic group in the countries enfeoffed by the Zhou Dynasty is Zhou nationality, but there are also Shang nationality. Some countries established by ancient tribes also speak their own languages. These ethnic groups all speak
