Ancient "Xiongnu" also has a history of thousands of years, Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms after building the Great Wall to attack the Xiongnu in the north, so that the Xiongnu retreated to the Mohe area, and later the Han Wudi Liu Che attacked the Xiongnu in the north, making some xiongnu move west, some Xiongnu surrender, most modern people's impression of the ancient "Xiongnu" is nomadic, then the ancient Xiongnu still exist? What nations have they become? Say it and you won't believe it.
The Chronicle of the Xiongnu records: "The Xiongnu, whose ancestor Xia Hou's Miao descendants were also known as Chunwei. "Chun Wei, also known as Fu Yu, was the son of the concubines of the King of Xia Dynasty, after the death of Xia Jie, Shang Tang came to be menacing, and Fu Yu took Xia Jie's concubines for himself and avoided Shang Tang, so he retreated to the northern barbaric wasteland, living with the ancient tribes of Shanrong, Fox, and Meat Porridge, and multiplied for generations, mainly grazing, which is the origin of the Xiongnu.
Later, for a long time, the Xiongnu were like "wildfires burning endlessly, and the spring wind blew again", playing an indispensable role in the historical process of our country, in 215 BC, the Qin Dynasty general Meng Tian drove the Xiongnu out of the Hetao and Hexi Corridor areas; and in the early Western Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu repeatedly attacked and controlled the western region.
After emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he believed that the Xiongnu were not enough to be afraid, and was the first emperor in China's history to propose that the Xiongnu submit to the Central Plains Dynasty, and he did indeed do it, successively going through three decisive battles, namely: the Battle of Henan, the Battle of Hexi, and the Battle of Mobei.
After the Battle of Hexi, the Xiongnu Hun Evil King led more than 40,000 people to surrender to the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of Han set up five subordinate states in Longxi, Beidi, Shuofang, Yunzhong, and Dai five counties to accept his people; the Battle of Mobei in the fourth year of the Yuan Hunt (119 BC) brought a fatal blow to the Xiongnu, with a situation of "the Xiongnu are far away, and there is no royal court in the south of the desert".
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu split into the Southern and Northern Xiongnu, the leader of the Southern Xiongnu led the people to surrender to the Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, and was later placed in the Hetao area to live with the Han people, the Northern Xiongnu repeatedly violated the border of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and later the Han and Emperor Liu Zhao ascended the throne, in 91 AD, the Northern Xiongnu were beaten by the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the collective migration of the unwilling to surrender moved westward, and later became the "Whip of God" in Europe, and after reproduction, became the ancestors of various ethnic groups in Austria, the Czech Republic and other places.
And in the history of our country, there is a period of five Hu Chaos, the Xiongnu who remained in the Mongolian plateau became the ancestors of the Mongols, Turks, and Khitans, and the Xiongnu who went south exceeded a million, so they lived with people in the Central Plains, established political power, changed Han surnames, etc. The Sui "Hao Fuwan Epitaph" verified that the main source of hao in northern Shaanxi was the Xiongnu.
After the Wuhu Chaohua and the Southern and Northern Dynasties period, the "Xiongnu" basically disappeared, to say which ethnic group they belong to today, such as mongolians, Han nationalities, etc. are possible, as we all know that China is a multi-ethnic country, and has a history of more than 5,000 years, cultural inclusiveness is very large, but also unexpected.
