Are Shanxi people descendants of Huns?

Not descended from Huns.

Archaeology shows that in ancient times, the southern part of Shanxi was the origin of human beings. The discovery of the "Century Shu Ape" fossil in Yuanqu County, Yuncheng, pushed forward the appearance of apes by 1 million years. In the early Paleolithic period, about 1.8 million years ago, primitive people thrived in Jinnan, Shanxi Province. Among them, the burnt bones found in Xihoudu cultural site in Ruicheng County, Yuncheng < P > pushed forward the history of human use of fire found in China for 1 million years; About 1,-2, years ago, in the middle of the Paleolithic Age, there were relatively concentrated primitive people and villages on both sides of the Fenhe River in Shanxi and in Datong and Shuozhou. In the late Neolithic period, southern Shanxi had become the center of many countries at that time.

The discovery and research results of Taosi Site in Xiangfen County, Linfen show that it is the capital of Diyao and the earliest area where China is located. This made Yao Shunyu, a prehistoric legend in China, change from legend to belief about 4,5 years ago, and the 5,-year history of Chinese civilization was confirmed.

after Dayu died, his son succeeded to the throne. The ruling center of the early Xia Dynasty was in the area of Xia County in the south of Shanxi Province, and the Dongxiafeng site in the county this summer is an important Xia Ruins.

During the Shang Dynasty, the southern part of Shanxi was within its "thousands of miles of Bangji", and there were more than a dozen Fang tribes scattered in other places.

In the early Western Zhou Dynasty, vassals were enfeoffed on a large scale. South-central Shanxi was the territory of more than ten vassals, among which the main vassal state was Jin.

during the spring and autumn period, the state of Jin developed strongly, gradually annexing small neighboring countries and becoming one of the five tyrants in the spring and autumn period. At its peak, the territory of Jin State included about south-central Shanxi, southwest Hebei, northwest Henan and east Shaanxi, with more than 5 counties, including more than 1 counties in Shanxi. Jin was the origin of the county system, and later Qin extended this system to the whole country.

the history and culture of Shanxi

dialect culture

Jin dialect is used in most areas of Shanxi, Zhongyuan Mandarin is used in most areas of southern Shanxi, and Jilu Mandarin is used in Guangling County.

Jin dialect is the only non-official dialect in northern China. The biggest feature of Jin dialect, which is different from Mandarin, is to keep entering tone. Most Jin dialects have five tones. The tone of Jin dialect has a very complicated phenomenon of continuous tone sandhi. The ancient voiced sounds in Jin dialect are not aspirated when the words with stops and affricates are read today. Jin dialect retains many features of ancient Chinese.

Traditional Opera Culture

Shanxi is one of the birthplaces of China's traditional opera art, known as the "cradle of traditional opera". In the Han Dynasty, drama sprouted in Shanxi. During the Northern Song Dynasty, a variety of local operas were active in various parts of Shanxi-these local operas were the embryonic form of China opera; During the Yuan Dynasty, Shanxi became the center of the national opera art, and the Yuan Dynasty stage found in the whole country was basically in Shanxi (southern Shanxi).

By the Ming Dynasty, folk artists in Puzhou, Shanxi, Tongzhou, Shaanxi and Shanzhou, Henan reformed the singing of northern zaju, and evolved the "Puzhou Bangzi" drama. Puzhou Bangzi was combined with local operas in Jinzhong, northern Shanxi and southeastern Shanxi respectively, and gradually formed the Middle Road Bangzi, Northern Road Bangzi and Shangdang Bangzi.

in the middle of the Qing dynasty, China opera began a dispute between "the flower part" (that is, the Bangzi opera) and "the elegant part" (that is, the Kunqu opera), and the wind of Shanxi folk opera became popular. In large villages and towns, two troupes were often invited to perform and sing "the opera against Taiwan" at the same time. A survey in 198 showed that there were 54 local operas in Shanxi, accounting for one sixth of more than 3 operas.

Dramas

The "Dramas" among the local operas in Shanxi are Pu Opera, Jin Opera, Beilu Bangzi and Shangdang Bangzi, which are called the "Four Great Bangzi in Shanxi", among which Pu Opera, Jin Opera and Beilu Bangzi have the same roots and different branches. The musical structure of Bangzi Opera is the first "two-sentence" and "plate cavity" drama. Puju Opera, also known as Puzhou Bangzi, was named after its origin in Puzhou (now Yongji), which was formed in the late Ming Dynasty and prevailed in the Qing Dynasty. < P > is the oldest of the four major Bangzi operas in Shanxi, with more than 1, plays. Puzhou Bangzi spread to Jinzhong, where it merged with the local yangko and rap art to form Zhonglu Bangzi. After Tongzhi of Qing Dynasty, with the economic prosperity of Jinzhong area, Zhonglu Bangzi became more and more famous, and became famous as "Jin Opera". At the end of the Ming Dynasty,

the second large-scale migration caused a large number of people from southern Shanxi to move to northern Shanxi, and the immigrants liked to hear the local accent, which made Pu Opera spread gradually in northern Shanxi. Influenced by the spread of Pu Opera, northern Shanxi produced the North Road Bangzi with a fierce voice. Shangdang Bangzi originated in Ze and Lu prefectures of Shangdang county in ancient times. It was made up of Luoluo opera, Juan opera and local opera folk songs from other places in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and was merged with Bangzi opera from Jinnan and Jinzhong.

Little Drama

Shangdang Luozi and Jinnan Meihu are the big dramas among the small dramas. Influenced by religious culture, Shanxi has Taoist dramas such as Northern Shanxi, Hongdong, Linxian and Yongji. There are 16 kinds of yangko operas in Shanxi.
