Where did the Qin people go after the demise of the Qin Dynasty?

When the peasant uprising broke out at the end of Qin Dynasty, 500,000 main forces in Qin Jun were conquering Lingnan Middle School, and even 500,000 immigrants (including many women) settled there for long-term stability. This is a great migration of Qin people. However, when peasant armies from all walks of life approached Xianyang, Zhao Tuo, the general of Qin who was guarding Lingnan, and his main force now chose to sit back and watch the old country perish, shut up and become independent in South Vietnam. Therefore, Nanyue State in the Western Han Dynasty was actually a semi-independent kingdom established by the old Qin people. Since then, an important branch of Qin people has flourished in Guangdong. Today, many Cantonese people should be of old Qin descent.

However, the people in Qin's hometown did not go through fierce fighting when Liu Bang entered Guanzhong at that time. After occupying Xianyang, they adopted the civilized practice of "taking three chapters" and got the support of Qin people. Xiang Yu's entry into Xianyang was only a retaliation against the Qin ruling group for destroying the Qin royal family and burning Qin Gong. Later, Xiang Yu divided Qin's hometown into three parts, and named three generals of Qin as kings to continue to manage the original inhabitants of Qin. This is the origin of the so-called "Sanqin". After that, Liu Bang easily settled on Sanqin, the hometown and old friend of Qin State, and became the main base and stable rear area for Liu Bang to go through customs and compete with Xiang Yu under the management of Xiao He. Although the battle between Chu and Han was fierce, it was mainly in the east. The hometown of Sanqin did not experience serious war, and the Qin people did not suffer heavy population losses. It was successfully established in the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, the Qin people who stayed in Qin's hometown have been living in Shaanxi until now. Of course, there were many wars in past dynasties, and Guanzhong was the political center repeatedly.
