Han chinese titles are called from the Han Dynasty onwards, so what about before that? Our titles are noble and domineering
The land of China has been inhabited for generations Chinese. They are hardworking, brave, wise and self-reliant. They have created a splendid culture for thousands of years, and for thousands of years they have made China walk in the forefront of the world trend. However, you may not know that the term "Chinese" is widely used. In fact, the time is short. It was not until the end of the Xinhai Revolution in the last century that this concept arose.
More than 2,000 years ago, China was not yet unified, and each country was ruled by its own country, and each country had a different name. Many years after the destruction of the Six Kingdoms by the State of Qin, people still consider themselves to be Koreans, Yan people, Zhao people, etc., such as Xiang Yu, who was called Chu by the Chu State and later called "Western Chu Overlord", at this time most people have not yet formed such a sense of collective belonging and identity.
After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, peasant rebels from all over the country flocked to the scene, and Xiang Yu was eventually killed in the Chu-Han struggle. Liu Bang, the King of Han, won the final victory and established the Han Dynasty. Later, the Han Dynasty won great victories in foreign counteroffensives and invasions, and the powerful Xiongnu nation split and fled. Most of them have disappeared through the long history. Only a few survivors who escaped by chance advanced westward, sweeping across Europe, known to Europeans as the "Whip of God."
While these Huns were promoting European festivals, they also brought news of the Han Dynasty to Europeans. They let the world know that in the Far East, there is a very powerful country, the Han Dynasty, and there is a lot of yearning for the Han Dynasty. After Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, the Silk Road was opened. They have witnessed first-hand the strength of this country. One by one, they called this powerful country Han Chinese, and continued to call it Han Chinese. Since then, we have begun to call it Han Chinese.
What were we called before the Han Dynasty? At that time, our title was both noble and domineering, that is, "Chinese nation". This title comes from our humanistic ancestors, the Yandi and the Yellow Emperor, who together formed the Yanhuang tribe many years ago and continued to expand into the vast territory of the Chinese people. In other words, the well-dressed people are called Hua, and the people in the central countries of the world are called Xia, so they are called Huaxia people.
The glorious title of the Chinese nation has lasted for many years, and it is also the Chinese people who have created most of the history of ancient China. After the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, the names of the Han people also represented strength and glory. It spread widely among Huns, Mongols, and Western tourists, but now it is made up of many ethnic groups. Zheng He's Chinese nation is working together to build a beautiful society.
After the Han Dynasty, we began to call them Han Chinese. How about that before that? Our title is noble and domineering!
