Are we in the minority?

First, the totem of the Han nationality is composed of a phoenix in Yi Long, which means yin and yang, namely men and women. Because of the large population of Han nationality, which occupied most of the historical development of China, it continued the oldest animal dragon in China as a symbol of its own nation. Dragon and Phoenix Dance is a national symbol in the Central Plains and South China. Dragon spirit: it is a spiritual realm that all things are compatible; It is a life attitude of pursuing harmony and group standard; This is the complex of China's unification. Moral of Phoenix: Phoenix seeks light from nirvana, symbolizing rebirth and the awakening of the Chinese nation; It is a sense of hardship that combines people's sense of responsibility and historical mission; It is the idealism of self-improvement and self-sacrifice; It is an industrious, thrifty and hard-working attitude to make a living. Second, cultural belief in religion has a great influence on many ethnic groups, and there is no religion in the full sense that all ethnic groups in the Han nationality must believe in. Since ancient times, the Han people have adopted an inclusive attitude towards various religions. Although Taoism is a religion formed in the history of the Han nationality, not every member of the whole nation believes in it. In the whole history of China, especially in the history of the Han nationality, there has never been a "state religion" except for a few emperors who believed in a certain religion and gained some political privileges. Traditionally, China, based on ancestral beliefs, has the religious belief tradition and characteristics of the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and there are many other religions. After the founding of New China, the government promoted atheism, and then launched the Cultural Revolution, which destroyed various religions. It was not until the reform and opening up that it began to change. The religious culture of Han nationality has the theory of "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism"; On the basis of ancestor worship, China people are all influenced by Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, which is Chinese folk belief. Third, the language of the Han nationality is Chinese, which is written in Chinese characters. Chinese belongs to Sino-Tibetan language family and can be divided into seven dialects: Northern Dialect (Mandarin), Wu Dialect, Xiang Dialect, Gan Dialect, Hakka Dialect, Min Dialect and Cantonese. Many scholars believe that Guangxi Pinghua and Shanxi Jin dialect should be juxtaposed with the other seven dialects. In different areas where Han people live, the provisions of standard Chinese are different. Chinese mainland, Taiwan Province Province and Singapore are regarded as standard Putonghua (languages developed on the basis of Beijing dialect in Putonghua areas are called Putonghua, Mandarin and Mandarin respectively due to different locations), and Hong Kong is regarded as standard Cantonese (Cantonese). Chinese characters are written in traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters respectively. In addition, some scholars divide Fujian dialect into Minnan dialect and northern Fujian dialect. These dialects have their own distribution areas, and the interior of each dialect can be subdivided, thus forming a complex language state of Chinese dialects, and the north and the south are not connected with each other. Nevertheless, due to the high degree of unity of Chinese characters, it has a strong cohesive effect on the Han nationality. It is no exaggeration to say that there would be no Han nationality without Chinese characters. Fourth, the hairstyle of clothing In terms of clothing, the Han people have their own long and colorful clothes, namely Hanfu. In each dynasty, there were different views on the color of clothing. Generally, Xia Hei, Shang Bai, Zhou Chi, Qin Hei, Han Chi and Tang Dynasty all wore yellow clothes and put red flags. France, Zhou, Han, Tang and Song were chosen as red in Ming Dynasty. Hanfu is one of the oldest national costumes in the world, which lasted from the legendary Yellow Emperor to the Shen Jia era (1644). 1644 After the Qing army entered the customs, a highly centralized government with Manchu as the core was established. The ruler ordered the whole country to shave and change clothes, which aroused the anger, dissatisfaction and armed resistance of the people. Then the Qing dynasty carried out bloody repression and armed slaughter, and Hanfu gradually died out. 1683, the Qing army entered Taiwan Province province and destroyed the rest of Zheng Chenggong. Since then, Hanfu has completely disappeared from the daily life of Han people. After more than 200 years of Manchu rule, today's Han people have gradually forgotten the gorgeous costumes they once had and become the only ancient nation in the world without their own national costumes. The "Tang suit", cheongsam, gown and mandarin jacket that people see today are not the national costumes of the Han nationality, but the national costumes of the Manchu nationality or their improved costumes. Due to the disappearance of Hanfu, robes and so on began to spread among Han people in the Qing Dynasty. By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, men usually wore double-breasted shirts and trousers inside, a long-sleeved gown outside, and a little attention was paid to it, which was called "robe and mandarin jacket". Pants are set with an eight-inch wide waist. Later, Chinese tunic suit became popular, but in rural areas, people still wore robes, jackets, shorts and trousers. Today, there are still old people wearing robes in remote mountainous areas. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, women wore knee-length flared gowns and trousers. After the Republic of China, wearing an "axe collar shirt" is different from double-breasted buttons, large-breasted buttons and pipa buttons. Under the skirt, there are phoenix-tailed skirts and pleated skirts. After 1930s, cheongsam became popular, but most rural women wore coats and trousers. Modern Han clothing is more western-style clothing. However, with the coming of 2 1 century, more and more Han people put on Hanfu again. This spontaneous movement of reviving Hanfu is usually called "Hanfu Movement". V. Marriage Customs The traditional wedding of the Han nationality is an important part of China culture. The ancients thought dusk was auspicious, so they would get married at dusk; To this end, the etiquette of husband and wife combination is called "faint ceremony". Faint ceremony is one of the five ceremonies, and it is the second milestone in life after the male crown ceremony or the female ceremony. The wedding ceremony of China traditional wedding dress China can be divided into three stages, namely "engagement" and formal wedding ceremony, namely "marriage" or "marriage" ceremony, which means the wedding ceremony of husband and wife, and it is "adult ceremony", "adult ceremony" or "adult ceremony", which shows the roles played by men and women after marriage. In China's traditional marriage customs, premarital ceremony and formal wedding are the main procedures. The names of these Han nationalities were established in the process of the formation and development of a unified multi-ethnic country in China. In 206 BC, the Han Dynasty flourished after the Qin Dynasty. It has lasted for more than 400 years, and there have been new developments in economy, culture and national unity. The residents of the Central Plains, formerly known as Huaxia, are called Han people. In the later historical development, the Han nationality became the main ethnic group in China, accounting for the vast majority of the population of China in past dynasties, and played a leading role in all aspects of development. The Han nationality has experienced * * * contact, migration and integration with various ethnic groups, and formed the distribution characteristics of concentrated distribution in agricultural developed areas and cities such as Songliao Plain, Yellow River, Huaihe River, Yangtze River and Pearl River, and mixed with local ethnic groups in the frontier. In addition, in the course of historical development, a considerable number of Han Chinese emigrated overseas, forming local Chinese or overseas Chinese. Since 1950s, especially after the reform and opening up, the Han nationality and ethnic minorities have made great contributions to the prosperity of China. The Han nationality created splendid culture and art in ancient times with distinctive characteristics. There are many influential representatives and works. In natural science, the achievements of astronomy and mathematics have attracted worldwide attention. There were more than 370 kinds of agricultural books in ancient agriculture. In the development of ancient literature in China, the development of poetry occupies a prominent position, such as Chuci, Yuefu, Tang poetry and Song poetry, and there are many writers and works with high artistic achievements. Others, such as essays and novels, are also world-famous.
