I want to know the origin of the title "Han, Zhong and Tang".

The Han nationality used to be called "Huaxia". During the Warring States Period, the State of Qin established Hanzhong County (more than 2,400 years ago), hence the name Hanzhong. After the reunification of Qin, it became the 36th county in the world.

One of the counties. During the Chu-Han War, Liu Bang was made King of Hanzhong, and the army he led was called the "Han Army" and was stationed in Hanzhong. Later, Liu Bang led the Han army to "build a plank road and secretly cross Chen Cang", occupying Guanzhong first and then unifying the world, with "Han" as the country name. The powerful Han Empire waged a long-term, large-scale and tragic war against the Xiongnu invasion. The powerful Han army pursued the Xiongnu on a large scale, went deep into the hinterland of the desert for thousands of miles, and even crossed the green ridge, which made the very powerful Xiongnu suffer heavy losses many times and eventually disappeared. A few remnants fled to Europe, causing the countries in the desert to shake and talk about the color change of Han. . . . . . Because of the unprecedented strength of the Han army in the western regions and Central Asia, the myth of unbeaten for more than a hundred years has made the reputation of the Han army and the Han people spread far beyond the territory. "Those who openly commit crimes against the Han people will be punished even if they are far away!" The powerful Han empire maintained its dignity with iron and blood, and let its people proudly say "I am Han Chinese" in front of foreigners! ! ! " .。 . From then on, no matter how the Chinese descendants in the Central Plains changed dynasties, people called their own people Han, which is the origin of the Han nationality.

Note: Ancient Hanzhong, now Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province, has not been renamed or relocated for more than 2,000 years, and is located in the middle and upper reaches of Hanshui River.

Outside the south gate of Hanzhong is Hanshui River. The original meaning of "Han" is: Galaxy! ! !

Hanshui is named after "Tianhan" because it is like the Milky Way on the ground.

The appellation of "Han people" originated in the Han Dynasty, meaning people of the Han Dynasty. It was not until the late Northern Wei Dynasty that it became synonymous with China people. Later, the scope of "Han people" became larger and larger. Many ethnic groups have joined the ranks of the Han nationality after the mixed living and integration of all ethnic groups in the past dynasties. It was not until the Republic of China that "Han people" was officially renamed "Han people". Han nationality is the main ethnic group in China, accounting for 93.3% of the total population in China.

Chinese

The annotation of Ci Hai is: "The abbreviation of China people. It also refers to foreign citizens with China descent who have joined or acquired the nationality of the host country. " According to this concept, I understand that China people must meet two basic conditions at the same time: first, they must live abroad for a long time; Second, only China people who have taken the nationality of the host country can be called China people. Therefore, China people living abroad for a long time may have two situations: one is China people who still retain China nationality, that is, overseas Chinese; The other is China people who have joined the nationality of the host country, that is, China people. China people naturalized in the United States are called Chinese Americans. The statement that "China people who have lived abroad for a long time are all from China" is wrong, and there is no distinction between overseas Chinese and China people.

The Tang Dynasty is the heyday of the development of land transportation, and it is also an era of great development of maritime transportation, which replaced land transportation in foreign exchanges. Due to the influence of the Tang Dynasty on overseas countries, in the Song Dynasty, southeast overseas countries even called the China area under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty "Tang" [1] in their contacts with the Song court. Throughout the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, overseas, especially in Southeast Asia, anything related to China or China is always called "Tang". Not only the Tang Dynasty is regarded as the land of China [2], but also people in China are called Tang people [3], Chinese surnames are all Tang [4], China's clothes are all Tang clothes [5], and China's merchant ships are all Tang boats or Tang boats [6], all of which are resold from ships. Most notably, the modern term "Chinese" was also named "Tangyu" by overseas countries in the Song Dynasty [8]. China people stay overseas for one year and never return, which is called "living in Tibet"; Foreigners who stay in China for more than one year are called "living in the Tang Dynasty" [9]. Up to now, some overseas Chinese still call themselves "Tangren", and their settlement in overseas cities is called "Chinatown", while overseas Chinese call their motherland "Tangshan". For thousands of years. The influence of the Tang Dynasty overseas can be seen here, which is inseparable from the developed maritime traffic in the Tang Dynasty.
