Indians refer to the indigenous peoples who lived on the American continent, and they had black hair and eyes, yellow skin, high cheekbones, and flat noses, characteristics that gave them a striking resemblance to Chinese. So, what exactly does the Indians have to do with Chinese? Do they have a common ancestor? What do they have to do with the ancient Chinese "Yin Land"?
Native American
According to modern genetics and archaeology, the ancestors of Indians were ancient humans who entered the Americas through the Bering Strait from the Asian continent, a migration that occurred about 15,000 years ago. These ancient humans belonged to the race, the main branch of what is now the Asian yellow race. Therefore, the Indians can be considered the American branch of the race, and Chinese is also a branch of the race, so the Indians and Chinese look alike.
However, this does not mean that Indians are descendants of Chinese. In fact, Indians and Chinese have been divergent for at least 15,000 years, and they have great differences in language, culture, religion, genetics, and so on. Moreover, the Indians are not a single ethnic group, but are composed of many different tribes and nationalities, and they also have complex interactions and conflicts with each other. Therefore, the relationship between Indians and Chinese is not simple.
So, what is "Yindi"? "Yindi" refers to the central area of the ancient Shang Dynasty (circa 16th to 11th centuries BC), which is the area around present-day Henan Province. The Shang Dynasty is one of the earliest recorded dynasties in Chinese history and one of the important sources of Chinese civilization. The Shang dynasty scripts are known as oracle bones or Shang dynasty scripts, and they are hieroglyphs carved with knives on tortoise shells or animal bones.
So, what does "Yindi" have to do with the Indians? This is actually a very controversial topic. Some scholars believe that some rock paintings or stone carvings similar to oracle bone or Shang dynasty scripts have been found on the American continent, which may have been created or spread by descendants of the Shang dynasty who migrated to the Americas from the "Yin land". These scholars believe that "Yindi" may refer to an ancient and mysterious center of civilization on the American continent, rather than around China's Henan province. They also believe that there may be "Yindi" ancestry or influence among the Indians.
However, these views have not been recognized and supported by the mainstream academic community. Most scholars believe that the so-called oracle bone script or Shang Dynasty script found in the Americas is actually just some coincidence or misreading, and does not prove that the Americas have any connection with "Yindi". They believe that "Yindi" refers to the area around Henan Province in China, not the Americas, and there is ample historical and archaeological evidence for this. They also believed that there was no blood or cultural connection between the Indians and the Yindi, but that they belonged to different branches of the Mongol race.
Oracle
Therefore, Indians and Chinese look alike, because they are both branches of the race, but they are not the same ethnic group and have no direct ancestral relationship. As for the relationship between Indians and "Yindi", there is no conclusive evidence to support or refute it, which is still a topic to be further explored and studied.
