Why do people in some countries in Central Asia look like us in China?

The five Central Asian countries, namely Kazakstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan, all look like China people. It is said that the hometown of Li Bai, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, is in the broken leaf city of Kyrgyzstan.

Central Asians are characterized by their tall figure, high nose and deep eyes. Central Asians are more yellow than China. They all have the characteristics of delicate skin, black hair and black eyes, which are different from whites and blacks.

Central Asians are of Han descent, which is closely related to the reasons why the Han people in the Central Plains moved westward from the Western Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty. Central Asia is the link between East Asia and West Asia, and it is also the only place for nomadic people and agricultural civilization to communicate with each other. Especially after Zhang Qian passed through the Western Regions in the ancient Western Han Dynasty, the opening of the Silk Road and the arrival of oriental materials in Western Europe also passed through important areas. It can be seen that Central Asia is located in the transportation hub area.

Because of Central Asia's position as a traffic fortress, whether it is Han Chinese with agricultural civilization in the Central Plains of the East, nomadic people on the grasslands of Northeast Asia, or people from West Asia, they must pass through here when they come to the East. Including Europeans to India, but also through India. Because many ethnic groups have developed territory in this land in history, the ethnic groups in these areas have the nature of mixed blood.

The earliest people who lived in Central Asia were nomadic people. Such as Yue people, Uighurs, Saints, Sogdians, etc. Later, the Huns also moved to this land in Central Asia and used it as a base to harass the territory of the Western Han Dynasty in the Central Plains.

With the frequent cultural exchanges between China and the West along the Silk Road, after Zhang Qian's voyage to the West, some Han people in the Central Plains also moved to Central Asia. Especially during the period from the Western Han Dynasty to Liao State 1000 years, with the administration of the Central Plains Dynasty to the western regions, the Han people gradually moved westward, which also made all ethnic groups in Central Asia integrate into the blood and composition of the Han people, and all ethnic groups in Central Asia also had the genes of the Han people.

For example, the ancestors of China celebrity Li Bai moved to Kyrgyzstan today in the Sui Dynasty, which proves that Central Plains people and Central Asians lived together at that time and were ethnically integrated!

A large number of Han Chinese migrated, also in the Yuan Dynasty. When Arabs rose in the desert, a unified Arab empire was established. Then in the Battle of Tantero in Central Asia, the Arab army defeated the Tang army and ruled Central Asia. In the process of national integration, Central Asians have also been endowed with Arabic genes.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, after Genghis Khan's army rose in the Mongolian grassland and defeated the Arab Empire, Genghis Khan's descendants established the Mongolian Empire across Eurasia. The khanate established by Mongols in Central Asia ruled for nearly 300 years. In these 300 years, letting orientals migrate to Central Asia has completely changed the ethnic composition of Central Asia, making many Central Asians look like yellow people, but more like Mongols!

Later, during the Qing Dynasty and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising in the late Qing Dynasty, some insurgents crossed the Tianshan Mountains all the way to the west and finally arrived in Central Asia, where they cultivated land and lived, and then intermarried with local ethnic groups, with a growing population. This also makes their descendants look like Han people in the Central Plains and Chinese people!
