Who are the ancestors of the Han nationality?

The ancestors of the Han nationality were Emperor Yan, Shennong and Huangdi Xuanyuan.

There is no doubt that the predecessor of Han nationality is Huaxia nationality. However, this does not mean that Yan Di and Huangdi are the ancestors of the Han nationality. In fact, they are only the ancestors of the Chinese nation. Historian Lv Simian said: "The name of the Han nationality began after Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor." He also said: "China people have been called Han people since the former Han emperor Xuan Di." In short, the name of the Han nationality has been called since the Han Dynasty.

In the Han dynasty, the world was unified and the Han dynasty was established. The national strength of the Han dynasty was relatively strong, and it launched a large-scale attack on some surrounding ethnic minorities, opened the western regions, cut the Huns and collected barbarians. For a time, other nationalities called these tough troops Han soldiers, and called the original Chinese Han people.

The formation and development of the Han nationality;

First, the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Chu and Yue nationalities rose one after another in the pre-Qin period, then the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Chu and Yue nationalities merged with some barbarians, Yi, Rong and Di in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to form the Han nationality, and finally the Han nationality developed into the Han nationality in the Qin and Han Dynasties. In 22 1 BC, Qin Shihuang annexed six countries, and in the "great unification", the Chinese nation also moved from decentralization to unity.

After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang took a series of measures to unify and stabilize the Chinese nation, such as implementing the county system, stipulating that "books should be written in the same language", unifying currency, weights and measures and "cars on the same track" and building the Great Wall. For the first time in China's history, a unified autocratic and centralized feudal country was established. Under the condition of national unity, the Han nationality has formed a unified nation.
