Oroqen people, once hunting people, still hunt for a living?

The Oroqen ethnic group is the ethnic minority with the least population in Northeast China. They are also ethnic groups on horseback, because they hunt for a living. Later, because of the reform and opening up and the nationwide hunting ban, the Olunchun people's living habits were completely changed. They gradually turned to farming or other working methods, and even went to work in big cities. So today's Oroqen people no longer hunt for a living.

First, the origin of the Oroqen people has different origins. One said it originated from Shiwei people, and the other said it was Su Shenren. However, the first statement has been widely recognized by everyone. The last Oroqen people are generally distributed in the east. These places used to be the areas where Shiwei people lived. Therefore, Shiwei people are probably the ancestors of Oroqen people. Moreover, in the records of the Tang Dynasty, there is also a department that manages the DuDu House of Shiwei. During the Liao and Jin Dynasties, Shiwei people were also managed.

Second, the transformation of the Oroqen nationality. The Oroqen nationality is characterized by hunting as its main way of life, which is very national. With the continuous progress of the times and society, the Oroqen people stepped out of the mountains and began to try to settle down. Especially in 1996, the state once issued a policy of prohibiting hunting, which completely changed the living habits of the Oroqen people. The Oroqen people also began to learn from the Han people how to farm or work in other ways. Later, with the close communication across the country, some Oroqen people began to go out to work to make a living.

Third, historical significance Although the population of the Oroqen nationality is relatively small, it is still an important part of China's ethnic minorities. The economy, culture, religious belief and science of the Oroqen nationality are very national. Therefore, with the rapid development of China today, it is particularly important to continue the traditional customs and habits of the Oroqen people, which is what we should strive for.
