This is by no means Lao Yan's wild thinking in the ivory tower, there are written records, and there is also archaeological evidence that China has black and white people in history.
Let's start with the historical record. In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there are several references to black people. One is the famous undead nation. At that time, the country was equivalent to the tribe mentioned today, that is, a place where a group of people of the same race lived together. The skin of the Immortal Nation is black, and he is the only person recorded in the book who can live forever. In fact, this immortality is relative. For example, the ancient people believed that the aliens from The Star Of Nebiru were immortal, but in fact these aliens also had a lifespan, generally living for 40,000 or 50,000 years. The exact life expectancy of these blacks is not documented, but it should be at least a few thousand years.
There is also a fire-weary country, the people of this tribe are very special-looking, the head is human, the body is animal. They can spit fire out of their mouths. They were all black.
Both blacks lived in the area of present-day Guizhou, Yunnan. Guizhou Province is referred to as Qian, Qian means black skin, I don't know if it has anything to do with these black people in ancient times.
In addition, there is a Labor Republic, which is also dark-skinned, and it is not so clear where it is today. The people of the Yang Kingdom subvert our imagination. Now black people have less hair, especially as little body hair as yellow people. However, the people of this tribe had long hairs on their bodies and long lips. There are also Gan giants with a figure of tens of meters tall, who are also black-skinned and hairy.
There is only one kind of white people, and their tribe is called the White Republic. The skin is white and the hair is abundant. This tribe is a descendant of Emperor Jun, surnamed Pin.
But according to the analysis, the black people mentioned above are similar to the skin color of today's black people, and the white people are not the same as today's white people. White people here refer to pure white, unlike today's white race, which is actually white.
Today's white races are mostly deep-eyed and high-nosed. In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there are also records about the Shenmu people. The above information shows that in China more than 4,000 years ago, there were not only Mongolians like us, but also Europas and Negros. The Classic of Mountains and Seas specifically records their skin color, indicating that black and white people were actually relatively rare in China at that time. But there is no doubt that in ancient China, people of all colors were concentrated. In addition to white and black, there are also yellow ones. The yellow race we speak of today is actually not so yellow, which is the most common color recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The Shan Hai Jing specifically records that there is a kind of human skin that is yellow, indicating that their skin is dark yellow, which is obviously different from us. It is not surprising that in ancient times there were skin tones other than black and white brown and yellow. Because the human race in the ancient times was far richer than it is now, there were more than a hundred kinds of tribal names mentioned in the Shan Hai Jing alone.
In Chinese archaeology, there are also white, black and yellow people. In Xinjiang, the vast majority of the people unearthed from 3,600 years ago were white, and the famous Loulan beauty and Xiaohe Princess and Golden Princess were caucasian. But so far, it seems that no black people have been unearthed. In Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai, there are also many white races from the ancient era unearthed. And there were different subspecies of these white races, the Indo-European race with black hair, the Caucasian race with red hair, and even the Germanic people with blonde hair (including flax hair).
During the Three Emperors era, the core of the Chinese nation was in today's northwestern region, that is, in the Gansu region of Xinjiang. In the era of the Five Emperors, the center of gravity was on the Loess Plateau. Therefore, if no black and white races have been unearthed in the east of Gansu, it does not mean that China was inhabited by multi-skin colors in ancient times. Archaeologists were furious and dug up information about these races.
The ancient ruins of Shi'an in Shaanxi Shenmu, judging from the chronology, regulation and excavated cultural relics, are most likely the capital of the Yellow Emperor era. Among the ancient stone statues unearthed here are people with high noses and deep purposes, which are obviously of the Europa race. In addition, in the series of sites of the Longshan culture, white and black crowds have also been excavated.
Similar to the situation in Xinjiang, across this hurdle four thousand years ago, in the archaeological excavations four thousand years later, there are fewer and fewer white and black races. Across the Xia Dynasty, to the Shang Dynasty, the bones of the ancients unearthed from the Yin Ruins in Henan, as well as blacks and whites. But Chinese mainland, this was probably the last one, and since then no other skin color has been unearthed, almost all of them are yellow.
Of course, in the great northwest, such as Xinjiang and Gansu, white races have been unearthed until three thousand years ago. This shows that the white race withdrew from the Central Plains and had a gradual process of moving west. The black people unearthed during the Tang Dynasty were the famous Kunlun nu, who were generally believed to have been imported from overseas in foreign trade, not the indigenous people of Tang Dynasty China.
In ancient times, both black and white and yellow races were unearthed, which at least illustrates one problem. Various races were mixed at the beginning of history, and later after various historical events, they gradually separated, and gradually formed the yellow race mainly concentrated in Asia, the white race is mainly concentrated in Central and Western Asia and Europe, and the black race is mainly concentrated in Africa.
Of course, this also conveniently breaks a hypothesis. Some believe that humans originated in Africa and then migrated around the world.
The most important historical event that led to the gradual separation of the human race was the prehistoric Flood. During that great flood, only a few parts of the earth were not flooded, and the largest area was in West Asia and the Altai Mountains. The surviving people have migrated here, forming a situation of ethnic mixed habitation. This situation has been stable for at least three hundred years.
In these three hundred years, human reproduction was very rapid, and as the floods receded, the climate in Central Asia gradually dried up and vegetation gradually became scarce. These two reasons have led to the beginning of human migration to other places. Among them, the descendants of Yanhuang have successively crossed the Yumen Pass and come to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. The white descendants migrated mainly westward.
Of course, the yellow race migrates east, and the white race migrates westward is only a trend, and there is no strict distinction. So by the time of the Shang Dynasty, there were also white and black races in china. But their numbers are very small, because of the war, because of the integration, of course, including the earliest discrimination, they gradually disappeared in the smoke of history.
As for why the black race was concentrated in southern Africa, Lao Yan could not analyze it because of his small knowledge reserves. If black races have been unearthed from Central Asia to the Middle East and West Asia, it means that they also have a migration process from Central Asia. If these places are not clearly concentrated in the black races that were unearthed hundreds of years after the Great Flood, it means that in the Great Flood, there were also some places in Africa that were not flooded, and some people survived.
