The formation and development of Han nationality

In the history of Han social development, the long feudal society is a prominent feature. Although the academic discussion on the stages of China ancient society has been going on for almost half a century, there is still no completely consistent conclusion, but Qin Shihuang unified China and entered the feudal society, and he has basically got a unified understanding.

On the question of when the Han nationality was formed, the academic circles generally believe that the Han nationality took the Huaxia nationality in the pre-Qin period as the core, and a unified nationality was formed in the Qin and Han dynasties. By 1840, it had experienced a development process of more than two thousand years under the feudal monarchy.

From 1840 to 1949, new development has been made in the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal struggle; After the founding of New China from 65438 to 0949, it gradually developed into a socialist country for the people of all ethnic groups.
