What is the origin of Guizhou people?

1, the geographical location and historical background of Guizhou

Located in the south of China, Guizhou is one of the relatively isolated provinces in China. Historically, Guizhou belongs to the border zone between Bashu cultural circle and Dianchi cultural circle, and it is the place where the culture of the Central Plains and the culture of southern minorities meet. Therefore, the descent of Guizhou people has been influenced by many cultures and nationalities.

First of all, Qiannan is bordered by Dianchi Cultural Circle, and Dianchi Culture is one of the representatives of southern culture in China. Qiyunshan culture, Guangyuan culture and Xiaolanshan culture are all branches of Dianchi culture. At the same time, the basins on the east and west sides of Guizhou border on the western Sichuan cultural circle, with western Sichuan culture as the core, mainly referring to a part of western Sichuan from Hanyuan to Langzhong. Therefore, through these blending and mutual infiltration, the unique regional cultural characteristics of Guizhou have been formed, and different genes have been injected into the blood of Guizhou people.

2. Ethnic groups with Guizhou characteristics

Guizhou is one of the provinces with the highest proportion of ethnic minorities in China. There are many ethnic minorities such as Miao, Dong, Gelao, Shui, Buyi and so on, and it is also the settlement of many immigrants. The genes brought by these ethnic minorities and immigrants give Guizhou a unique national characteristic. Among them, Miao and Buyi are widely distributed in Guizhou Province, and they have the deepest integration with Han nationality. Maybe 12%-25% of the Han people in Guizhou come from Miao and Buyi.

At the same time, Guizhou's unique minority music and handicrafts have also injected new elements into Guizhou's bloodline and cultural diversity.

3. Historical migration and intermarriage in Guizhou.

Guizhou, located in the south of China, has always been one of the crossroads of north-south traffic in history, and it is also the only place for southern immigrants, such as those in the Song Dynasty and the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Therefore, there are some genes of Han people in other regions in Guizhou's bloodline, and the intermarriage between these immigrants and local people has also injected new impetus into the continuous integration, exchange and migration of genes in Guizhou in history.

4. Genetic influence of offspring

At present, with the progress of modern science and technology, human research on genes and DNA is more and more in-depth and extensive. According to the research of scientists, the distribution of genetic variation in China presents certain regional characteristics. For example, in Northeast and North China, the proportion of genetic variation is relatively small, while in Southwest China, such as Guizhou and Yunnan, the proportion of genetic variation is relatively high.

Therefore, although Guizhou people have different lineages and diverse cultures, they also have their own unique lineages in some aspects, such as the influence of genetic variation. In a word, the pedigree of Guizhou people is diverse and unique.
