3. Different sources

Tujia nationality developed from the migration of Ba people and the integration of local aborigines after Qin destroyed Ba. Its ancestors flourished in today's western Hunan and western Hubei as early as 2000 years ago. Tujia people call themselves "Bizka", which means "an aborigine".

Tujia nationality, which was not recognized for a long time after the founding of the People's Republic of China, was identified as a single nation through ethnic identification. The name of the Tu nationality comes from its ancestor Tuguhun. Tuguhun was called Tuguhun after the middle Tang Dynasty. Xiongnu means "human" in Mongolian, so it was later called "Tu nationality". After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), it was called Tu nationality according to the wishes of the Tu people.
