In ancient society, China's Central Plains agricultural civilization is developed, rich in resources, the people live and work in peace and contentment, but there are many nomadic people to invade, their style of action is very barbaric and the combat effectiveness is very strong, so the people of the Central Plains are often bullied by these nomadic people, the most troublesome of which is the Xiongnu, from the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty Xiongnu population reached a million people at its largest, so which ethnic group is the Xiongnu today, where are their descendants?
In fact, the Xiongnu first appeared in historical materials in the Qin Dynasty, when they invaded the Central Plains on a large scale, and they cried everywhere they went, Qin Shi Huang sent General Meng Tian to defeat the Xiongnu, and then drove them away, but after the Qin Dynasty's national strength declined, the Xiongnu came back, they were very barbaric and cruel when they fought, burning and looting without evil, and often slaughtered the city, and the reason why they did this was to covet the wealth and materials of the Central Plains.
During the Han Dynasty, the people of the Central Plains were entangled with the Xiongnu for a long time, because the Xiongnu did not go through agricultural civilization, so they only had meat products and dairy products, and after the opening of the mutual market in the Central Plains, they suffered a lot of losses, so they began to invade the Central Plains. Because the Huns are recorded in historical sources as coming from the north, they are often considered Mongols, but this is not accurate because the Mongols are only a subset of the descendants of the Huns.
In fact, the descendants of the Xiongnu have spread all over the world, because the Xiongnu invaded the Central Plains at the same time, but also entered the western region to fight to Europe, many Huns scattered in various parts of Europe, and stayed there to live and reproduce, so now Hungarians and Turks actually have the blood of the Huns, and now it is impossible to specifically verify which ethnic group the descendants of the Xiongnu are.
