Before emigrating to the mainland, ethnic immigrants mainly focused on animal husbandry economy. They moved to the mainland, bringing advanced animal husbandry production technology and promoting the development of animal husbandry in the mainland. At the same time, the increase in the population of nomadic people who eat meat and drink cheese in the mainland has correspondingly increased the demand for livestock products, thus providing impetus for the development of animal husbandry.

Nomadic economy can be said to be a natural commodity economy because of its single economy. Ethnic minorities in northwest China are mainly nomadic people, and animal husbandry plays an important role in the economy. The main export products are livestock products. The business activities of the ethnic minority businessmen who moved in included both domestic trade and international trade, which enriched the mainland commodity market and promoted the circulation of Chinese and western commodities.

In terms of daily diet, the Han nationality not only learned a variety of ways to eat beef and mutton from the nomadic people in the north, but also learned to eat "Fan Hu" and "Hu Bing" of all ethnic groups in the western regions. It is the continuous integration of the surrounding ethnic minorities that makes the crystallization of the wisdom of all ethnic groups be carried forward and integrated into the Chinese culture, which makes the Chinese culture develop so richly and have endless vitality.

2. The influence of national beliefs

Since Wei and Jin Dynasties, Buddhism has spread widely in the Central Plains and gradually become the dominant religion. Since then, with the continuous migration of northern ethnic minorities, the rulers of all ethnic groups have vigorously advocated Buddhism for various purposes, which has had a far-reaching impact on the in-depth spread of Buddhism in the Central Plains and promoted the further development of ethnic integration in the Central Plains.

3. Influence on Central Plains Folk Wushu

Historically, the nomadic people in the ancient north of China rebelled against the rule of the farming people in the Central Plains for various reasons, resulting in constant wars between nomadic farming. Wushu, which originated from the war, has made great progress in this long nomadic farming war and has rich cultural connotations. Advanced horseback martial arts have also been integrated into the cultural system of Central Plains martial arts and become an integral part of China martial arts.
