China's territory is vast, the land is vast, and it has had the reputation of Yangyang Huaxia since ancient times. As one of the oldest countries in the world, China has always been called the Fertile Land of the Central Plains by foreigners. From the beginning of Qin Shi Huang's unification of the Six Kingdoms, to the unprecedented prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and then to the Ming Dynasty's Yongle Years, as a member of the sons and daughters of China, I feel proud and proud.
So now an interesting question for everyone. We call other countries "foreigners", so how do foreigners call us Chinese? In fact, different countries have different names for China. The Japanese call our country "Tang", some countries in Europe and the United States call us "Chinese", and some countries in Eastern Europe call us "Khitan".
Overall, these titles are relatively neutral. But there is a country that calls us, in fact, not so friendly, and even with a taste of contempt, this country was once part of our territory, and has a very deep relationship with our country, and later separated from our country, this country is "Outer Mongolia".
Mongolia, in ancient times, has always been the territory of our country, and at that time there was no such thing as Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia. Until the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Mongolia was also a whole territory of our country. Since ancient times, Mongolia has been ruled by many ethnic minorities, as a steppe nomadic people, where the scenery is beautiful, the area is vast, the air is fresh, how many people fantasize about galloping horses on the vast grasslands, to feel the beautiful scenery of nature's gifts.
During the Song Dynasty, Mongolia actually fought internally. It was not until the early thirteenth century that a military genius, Genghis Khan, united the various tribes of Mongolia and established the Great Mongol State in 1206 AD. Subsequently, it conquered West Asia, Eastern Europe, Western Xia and other places. Later Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty, with the capital at Beijing.
However, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty were very unfriendly to the Han people, and divided people into four levels, known as the four-class system. According to the "History of the Mughals", the Mongols were the "nationality" of the Yuan Dynasty, the first class, the second class was the Semu people who were mainly from the Western Regions, the third class was the Han and Khitan and Jurchen peoples in the north, and the last class was the southern people, that is, the Han and ethnic minorities in the south.
In fact, this division already has a strong national prejudice, and the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty are still tyrannical, expropriating and tyrannical everywhere, making the people of the world unhappy and sword-and-soldiers everywhere. Zhu Yuanzhang then established the Ming Dynasty and drove the Yuan rulers out of the Central Plains, and then Zhu Di repeatedly marched to try to get rid of this serious problem, but "a hundred-footed worm, dead but not stiff", until Zhu Di died, the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty were still not exhausted.
Later, during the Qing Dynasty, Nurhaci rose in the north and recovered many tribes in the north and Mongolia, the emperor Taiji changed the name of the country to Qing, and then Dolgun led the Qing army into the customs, during the reign of the Qing Dynasty, all the tribes of Mongolia were included in the territory of the Qing Dynasty and became part of china's territory.
During the period from the rule of the Qing Dynasty to the end of the country, Mongolia has always been the territory of our country, during which although the Qing government has repeatedly cut land and paid compensation, Mongolia has also tried to declare "independence" under the instigation of Tsarist Russia, but the Beiyang government has resisted all pressure and refused to let go. Until 1945, the Nationalist government signed the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance with the Soviet Union in favor of the referendum of the People of Outer Mongolia, and the results of the final referendum showed that the majority of the People of Outer Mongolia supported independence. On January 5, 1946, the Nationalist government officially recognized the independence of Outer Mongolia, and it was only now that Outer Mongolia became an independent country.
Although Outer Mongolia is independent, its predecessor and our country actually have inseparable blood relations, according to the reason, the name of Outer Mongolia people to our country should be friendly or neutral. But in fact, the Outer Mongolians call our country "Huza", and this word, in Mongolian, means "insincere and unreliable", which is obviously full of "hostility".
There are many theories about the word "Huza", in fact, there is a saying that the merchants of the Qing Dynasty went to Mongolia to do business, and mostly used the method of pit and deception to take advantage of a lot, and the Mongols used "Huza" to call these traitors, and later gradually became synonymous with calling our country.
Mongolia's territory covers an area of 1,566,500 square kilometers, located between china and Russia, and although it is no longer our territory, its predecessor is closely related to our country and inseparable. Nowadays, our country is developing and prospering, and our national strength is also increasing day by day, even if Outer Mongolia has a contemptuous name for our country, we do not have to be grumpy about it, because we are the sons and daughters of the great China, and we should have the grace and courage that a big country should have.
