The ancient Vietnamese were a branch of the ethnic minorities in China, but which ethnic group has descendants now?

Indeed, if traced back to its source, Vietnamese can be regarded as a branch of ethnic minorities in China. In fact, Vietnamese is strictly a descendant of the original ethnic minorities in China, but it is not purely a branch of ethnic minorities in China. It can only be regarded as a mixed race. This is the first time to talk about the concept of Vietnamese and what race the Vietnamese are. Although Vietnam is small, it is a multi-ethnic country, with 55 officially recognized ethnic groups.

However, this mixed nation is not what we usually call Vietnamese. We often say that the Vietnamese should be the Jing nationality of Vietnam and the main ethnic group of the Vietnamese. At present, the Jing nationality accounts for almost 90% of the total population of Yunnan people, and only 10% of them have a nationality called China, which is a pure descendant of the ethnic minorities in China, which also shows that the Jing nationality in Vietnam is different from the China nationality.

And our Lingnan area will mention the blood relationship between Jing and Han. China's Lingnan region has a long history, and the narrow sense of Lingnan actually includes Viet Nam. In other words, Viet Nam was once a part of China, but later it became independent for some historical reasons. At that time, Lingnan was a place where ethnic minorities gathered. Those ethnic minorities are called "Baiyue", and Vietnam is also a part of Lingnan's "Baiyue".

The Vietnamese, that is, the Jing people in Vietnam, have always considered themselves descendants of the ancient Luoyue people, and Luoyue is also a part of the "Baiyue" in Lingnan and a part of the Chinese nation. In the later period of China's imperial hegemony, due to the rule of China dynasties, a large number of Han Chinese flowed in and a large number of mixed-race children began to appear. Coupled with the invasion of the West and other countries and the mixed ethnic groups in other countries later became the mixed situation of many different ethnic groups in Vietnam, the blood of China ethnic groups in ancient Vietnam became thinner and thinner.
