Where do the Khitans in China come from now? What province are they from? What nationality do you belong to?

Now the Daur nationality is a descendant of the Khitan nationality, and I, who lives in Yunnan, also has the lineage of the Khitan nationality.

The Qidan nationality originated in the Xilamulun River basin in northeast China and Inner Mongolia.

It was divided into eight parts in the early days, and later formed a tribal alliance, which was subordinate to Turkic and Uighur successively. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Lu Ye Abao unified all ministries and proclaimed himself emperor, with the title of Qidan. In 947, it was renamed Liao. Liao was later destroyed by the Jin Dynasty, and then Yelushi established the Western Liao, which once became a powerful country in Central Asia. Xiliao was finally destroyed by Mongolia in 12 18.

With the demise of Liao, the Khitan people gradually merged into other ethnic groups, and a few evolved into Daur people and Yunnan people today. I live in Baoshan, Yunnan, with more than 65,438+people. My surnames are A, Mang and Jiang, and now I belong to 10 ethnic groups.

Extended data:

Clothing: Qidan has close contacts with neighboring countries, and all aspects of economy and culture are integrated with other national and cultural factors, especially with China culture. Taking clothing as an example, the traditional clothing of the Khitan people is left slit, round neck and narrow sleeves, waist belt and trousers under boots.

Hairstyle: Both men and women in Qidan wear earrings, and like Wuhuan and Xianbei people, they also have the habit of curly hair. Their hair styles are different, some only shave off the top of their heads, and the hair around their skulls droops and falls; Some left two locks of long hair on both sides of the skull, which naturally drooped or braided; Some people have two locks on their temples, which naturally droop in braids or through earrings, which is what Shen Kuo said: "Men can cut their hair properly." The murals of Liao tombs provide images of bearded hair, and the female corpse unearthed in Haoqianying, Wulanchabu League, Inner Mongolia also provides the bearded hair style of Qidan women that is not recorded in the literature.
