China's territory is vast, its neighbors are also many, and among China's many neighbors, it is necessary to count the Vietnamese people's appearance and Chinese is very similar, and in history, the intersection of China and Vietnam is also very much, so some people have raised such a question: Are Vietnamese Han Chinese?
The relationship between the Vietnamese and the Han people is indeed very close, but the Vietnamese are mostly Jing people, but there is still the existence of the Jing people in the territory of China, it belongs to one of the ethnic minorities in China, since it has been divided into a list of ethnic minorities, it is naturally impossible to be a Han chinese, but it does have an inseparable relationship with the Han people, and now the Han people claim to be the descendants of Yan Huang, and there is a saying that the ancestors of the Jing people are the Shennong clan, that is, the Yellow Emperor, so it seems that The Jing and Han people also have a homologous relationship.
And because the distance is really close, Vietnam is deeply influenced by the Han culture, in history, Vietnam has used the Chinese language for many years, until later it has its own own language, and the cultural relationship between Vietnam and the Han nationality in the Central Plains dates back to the time of the pre-Qin, when the Vietnamese state once "harvested" these surrounding ethnic minorities, and now Vietnam is also among them.
Later, Qin Shi Huang unified Baiyue, and South Vietnam was within the scope of Baiyue at that time, so historically, the origins of South Vietnam and China were really inseparable, but now there is indeed a saying that the current Vietnamese are actually the descendants of Han Chinese and local indigenous mixed blood.
But even if there is a Han ancestry, it really cannot be regarded as a real Han Chinese, and this is also a hypothesis, which has not been tested by real scientific research and cannot be regarded as the real truth.
However, although the Vietnamese are not Han Chinese, but the country is indeed a nation in history is indeed very deeply influenced by the Culture of the Central Plains, Vietnam was once ruled by the Imperial Power of China for a thousand years, even if it did not belong to the scope of direct jurisdiction later, it has always existed as a vassal state of the mainland, so the script they use is actually the same as the Chinese, even the language has similarities, and what official position is copied in its entirety, but then Vietnam was colonized.
Since then, their culture has actually been broken, and the Chinese culture they have inherited has slowly been replaced by the newly created culture of their own country, even if the culture that remains a little is gradually becoming localized, and the real Central Plains Han culture is already very different, especially in the modern wars, there is a great contradiction between Vietnam and China, and they have completely abandoned the Chinese culture.
However, if you travel to Vietnam now, you can still see that many of the plaques on ancient buildings use traditional Chinese characters, and here we can also see that the influence of Chinese culture on this neighboring country was once so far-reaching.
