Why do southerners have different facial shapes than northerners?

The facial shape of southerners is different from that of northerners, which is caused by the racial differences between northerners and southerners. Southern Chinese and northern Chinese are different subraces of the same race. Northern Chinese belong to the northern subtype of Mongoloid, southern Chinese belong to the Malay type of Mongoloid, and there is also a marine type of Mongoloid, some of which The Gaoshan people belong to this category.

Due to history, the large-scale migration of the northern Han people to the south has continued to assimilate the southern Baiyue. Therefore, there have been a lot of "southern people and northern people" in the south, and many people have both subraces. Therefore, the academic community is now more inclined to define southern Chinese as "a mixed race of North Asian and Malay types."

The appearance characteristics of northern Chinese people are wide faces, long heads, straight nose bridges, and Mongolian folds on the eyelids.

The southern Chinese (purely Baiyue) have short heads, high cheekbones, thick lips, protruding mouths, and small eyes.

As for height and skin color, these are greatly affected by the environment and eating habits, so academic circles do not regard these two factors as primary considerations.

And, unfortunately, the appearance of the Malay race is not in line with modern people's aesthetic values, so they are often discriminated against.

Due to the continuous migration of the northern Han people to the south in history, the appearance of the southern population is now very complicated. The Jianghuai River Basin has basically been occupied by Han immigrants. Therefore, it is said that beauties are produced in the south of the Yangtze River. In fact, if we go back to the ancient times (before the Han Dynasty) when Baiyue was everywhere, there were not many beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, at least not many. A beauty who can be recognized by modern people.

Then, as the region moves further and further south, the time for the Han people to reach the south is pushed back, which creates an obvious feature of China’s population distribution. The further south you go, the more southern people look. Close to the relatively pure Malay race.

Many residents in Lianghu, Jiangxi and other places have the characteristics of both types of people. For example, some people have a Chinese character face but small eyes, or have single eyelids and a flat nose bridge, or have high cheekbones + straight nose bridge, etc.

As for the southernmost Guangdong and Guangxi, Fujian and Hainan Island, due to the very late sinicization process in history (Fujian did not establish a state capital until the Eastern Han Dynasty, a large number of Han talents poured in during the Tang Dynasty, and the Han people in Guangdong and Guangxi basically dominated the population. to the Ming and Qing Dynasties). Therefore, people in these places also retain more of the Baiyue appearance (Malay type)

This fact cannot be denied at all. The most obvious one can be compared with the two wanted posters: North ( Bai Baoshan), Nanfang (Ma Jiajue), you can immediately see the huge difference in appearance between these two people.

Moreover, this is not a special case. People from Guangdong and Guangxi are often said: "It's best to recognize them. You can tell they are Cantonese (or Guangxi) at a glance." This is because of appearance.

Of course, historically, northern immigrants have also continued to enter Guangdong and Guangxi. Therefore, it does not mean that all people in Guangdong and Guangxi look like the Vietnamese. In some places with a long history, In this city, the appearance of its residents is obviously much more northern.

The most obvious one is to compare the two cities of Nanning and Guilin in Guangxi: there is a folk song in Guangxi: "The girl from Nanning has a black mother, the girl from Guilin has a flower"

The distribution of population in our country It is very obvious that there are more residents with Baiyue appearance (short heads, prominent cheekbones, thick lips, protruding mouths, and small eyes) as you go south, with the largest number in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, and Hainan.

On the other hand, if you go to the north, you will hardly see people with short heads, high cheekbones, thick lips, protruding mouths, and small eyes.

Note: This north is the definition of "north" in the academic study of the Eight Classics of Children (north of the Huaihe River-Qinling Mountains, including the historical Central Plains region),

Post: If you immigrate to Northern Europe, it will take hundreds of thousands of years to become white. Or if you move to Africa for hundreds of thousands of years, you can become the image of an East African. In the history of the earth, this is just a moment.

Like the current Eskimos, the time they moved to the North Pole was too short, only about ten thousand years. Although they grew up in the North Pole, they still looked like Asians.

Also, the definition of nation has not yet been decided, but one thing is certain. Only through comparison can you have national consciousness. That is to say, if you don’t compare with other nations, you won’t realize that you are a nation. Which nationality are you from? Suppose a person has never seen anyone outside his own ethnic group in his life, then if you ask him which ethnic group he belongs to, he may not be able to answer.

Ethnicities are constantly changing. There is no pure ethnic group. Even the so-called pure Yamato tribe in Japan did not exist from the beginning, and then it continued to develop without foreign mixed blood. In the middle there are foreign mixed blood immigrants from China and North Korea. A completely pure-blooded nation has only one way, to perish.

The Han nationality has never been a nation of a single origin. It was formed by the continuous wars and conquests of many clans and tribes from the Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, the Dongyi and even the Man Miao. Later, after the great migration and integration of ethnic groups in the past dynasties, today's so-called Han nationality was formed. The Han nationality is actually a "collection" or "mixed body", a group bound by culture and not related by blood. There are very few ethnic groups in China that are purely blood related. Almost everyone has a mixture of blood and genetics. If you look up three generations of your ancestors, there may be an "alien".

We are actually all "bastards". From our ancestors to us, we all call ourselves Han people, just as we are now happy to call ourselves Chinese.
