In what aspects did the national integration of the Yuan Dynasty show?

To some extent, it can be said that the constant resistance and uncertainty of the Han people gave birth to the introduction of the "fourth class" policy, and from the implementation effect, taking Mongolia as the foundation and containing the Han people with color eyes also played a certain role in maintaining the unified situation.

The migration of all ethnic groups existed from beginning to end in the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, and the scope and scale of migration were unmatched by the previous generation. There are many forms of ethnic migration, among which capture, garrison, official, exile, planned migration and business are the six most important ways.

For example, Genghis Khan moved more than 654,380,000 Han people from Hebei to Tula Valley in the process of conquering the Jin Dynasty in the south. These people who were moved to grassland areas became artisans or herding slaves. Qiu Chuji, a Quanzhen Taoist, once saw "thousands of Han craftsmen living in Mobei". These records reflect the great influence of captive plunder on ethnic migration and mixed residence.

The Significance of Ethnic Integration in Yuan Dynasty

The division of the "fourth class" further consolidated the Mongolian nationality in the grassland area, and the emergence of the Mongolian khanate played an important role in the Mongolian nationality of many grassland nationalities, while the continuous rule of the Yuan Dynasty and the division of the "fourth class" contributed to the Mongolian nationality, which was more conducive to the integration of Mongolian ministries.

After the Ming Dynasty, the Mongolian process of many ethnic groups in grassland areas was basically completed, and many ethnic groups or tribes living in grassland areas in history basically became part of Mongolian ethnic groups. The change of ethnic distribution and integration in the vast grassland area is a fact before us, and it seems that there is no need to elaborate further.

The policy of taking the Mongolian as the foundation of the country and the mutual restraint between the non-ferrous and the Han nationality have greatly changed the distribution pattern of ethnic groups, thus creating conditions for a wider range of ethnic integration. Therefore, it seems to be incomplete and unscientific to evaluate the historical role of the "fourth class" policy in the Yuan Dynasty only by ethnic discrimination and oppression.

The division between Phoenix Net and the "fourth class" in the Yuan Dynasty is the recognition of the achievements of national integration.
