Where did the Han nationality originate?

1. The saying of the Han nationality originated in the Han Dynasty. Because our Han Dynasty was very powerful and exported many cultures to the outside world, we proudly called ourselves the Han nationality.

At first, neighboring countries bullied the Han Dynasty, but we proved our own strength with our strength, especially when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suppressed the enemy with his strong military ability and made them call us Han Chinese. So what names did we have before the establishment of the Han Dynasty? Everyone should know that a unified dynasty before the Han Dynasty was the Qin Dynasty, but because of his brutal rule, his existence was not very long, only a few decades in total, so people in that period were called Qin people.
