The distribution of Chinese ethnic groups is characterized by

The distribution of Chinese nationalities is characterized by the following introduction:

The distribution of Chinese nationalities is characterized by: large mixed dwellings, small settlements, and interlocking dwellings.

The Han areas are inhabited by ethnic minorities, and the minority areas are inhabited by Han Chinese. This pattern of distribution is the result of mutual interaction and mobility among the various ethnic groups in the course of long-term historical development. China's minority populations are small but widely distributed. All provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government throughout the country are inhabited by ethnic minorities, and the vast majority of county-level units are inhabited by more than two ethnic groups.

China's ethnic minorities are mainly found in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Ningxia, Guangxi, Tibet, Yunnan, Guizhou, Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Jilin, Hunan, Hubei, Hainan, Taiwan and other provinces and autonomous regions. The largest ethnic composition in China is in Yunnan Province, with 25 ethnic groups.

Expansion:

According to the main data of the sixth national census: the Han Chinese have the largest proportion of the population, accounting for about 91.51% or so of the country's total population, while the other 55 ethnic groups have a small total population, accounting for about 8.49% or so of the country's total population, and are therefore referred to as ethnic minorities.

Ecological Distribution of China's Ethnic Groups:

The Chinese ethnic groups and their forefathers-various ethnic ****similars, on the whole, are mainly distributed in the eastern part of Asia, starting from the Pamir Plateau in the west and extending to the islands of the west coast of the Pacific Ocean in the east, with a wide desert in the north, the sea in the southeast, and mountains in the southwest on a vast continent. This continent is gently tilted from west to east, with a gradual decrease in height. The west is more than 4,000 meters above sea level, known as the roof of the world Tibetan plateau.

East of the Hengduan Mountains, the terrain down to the altitude of 1,000 to 2,000 meters of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, Loess Plateau and Inner Mongolia Plateau, dotted with basins and lakes. Further east are hilly areas up to 1,000 meters above sea level and plains up to 200 meters above sea level. This is a rough description of the ecological environment of China's ethnic groups as a whole.

What needs to be further developed here is that, compared with the Han Chinese, China's ethnic minorities mainly live in the frontier defense areas, which are separated by mountains and rivers, inconvenient to transportation, and far away from the central plains. In terms of topographical features, about 93.5% of the area of ethnic minority regions is located on the first and second steps of the country, and the vast majority of ethnic minorities live in mountainous areas.
