During the Han Dynasty in history, people often mentioned the Xiongnu, and even some people were very afraid when they mentioned the Xiongnu. The rulers of ancient times, in order to maintain national stability, often sent large armies to encircle and suppress, it can be said that the Xiongnu in ancient times were the object of resentment of the people, so thousands of years have passed, which nation is this Xiongnu today? You may not even imagine, let's take a look.
The historical Xiongnu were entrenched in the north for many years, and as early as the Qin Dynasty, this nomadic people began to attack the border, and Qin Shi Huang ordered the construction of the famous Great Wall in order to resist the Xiongnu. But that doesn't seem to have much effect. During the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu repeatedly invaded the Central Plains, causing great panic among the people. However, due to the actual situation of the Han Dynasty, it had no choice but to adopt a friendly approach to maintain border stability.
After several generations of emperors of the Western Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty finally had the strength to compete with the Xiongnu, and under the order of Emperor Wudi of Han, the general Wei Qinghuo went sick and dealt a heavy blow to the Xiongnu, but this achievement was only temporary. For many years afterward, the nomadic tribe rose back on its feet. The historical Xiongnu have a long history of about 700 years, and the early Xiongnu people originated in the Mongolian plateau, which was their main activity area at that time. Due to geographical elements, the Xiongnu nation has been hunting on horseback since childhood, you must know that in ancient times, the combat power of cavalry was very strong, so the Xiongnu at that time occupied a place at that time with their strong combat power.
We can see from many costume dramas that the Xiongnu people are migratory in nature, so this also lays the foundation for their way of life. At that time, when materials were scarce, these Huns thought of using looting for supplies. At that time, the hinterland of the Central Plains was rich in products and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and such a grand situation inevitably made the Xiongnu's eyes red. With their strong combat power, the Xiongnu began to harass and plunder the wealth of the border residents. However, with the rise of national power, the rulers began to fight against the Xiongnu, and the prominent representative of them was Emperor Wudi of Han.
In the course of the battle against the Xiongnu, Emperor Wudi of Han devoted all the efforts of the whole country to win a short peace. Although the Han Dynasty experienced a sharp decline in the living standards of the people after the Han-Hungarian War, the results of the war were often two-sided, and the living conditions of the Xiongnu after the war were even worse, and there were divisions within them, but later under the stability of Han Xie Shan Yu, the Xiongnu restored a short period of peace. However, with the fall of the Western Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were ready to move, and by the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were completely divided into the Northern Xiongnu and the Southern Xiongnu, and these two sides also followed different development paths later.
In order to stay in this land, the Southern Xiongnu chose to annex the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty was also very pleased with the annexation of the Xiongnu, vigorously supporting its development, and even encouraging them to enter Senei to develop. The Northern Xiongnu were different, and due to the previous hesitation, the best time to surrender was missed, so the Han dynasty refused his surrender. So they were forced to move west, and after a long journey, they reached what is now Europe, established the Hun Empire, and after living here for nearly a hundred years, collapsed in 455 AD, and this scattered Hun tribe was integrated into the various peoples of Europe, among which they had a close relationship with the people of the present-day Hungarian state.
For the Southern Xiongnu, which was previously attached to the Han Dynasty, after years of development, it has also been integrated into such a powerful territory as China. Most of the current Xiongnu people also live in Shanxi, Inner Mongolia and other regions, as a nation, it can be said that they have disappeared, but they really exist, but they are integrated into our lives, their previous life characteristics no longer exist, do you think there are people of the Xiongnu nation around you?
