What nationality are Chuanqing people?

Chuanqing people, also known as Chuanqing people and Chuanqing people, are a controversial ethnic group in People's Republic of China (PRC) and do not belong to the list of 56 ethnic minorities in China. The government of China classifies Chuanqing people as a branch of Han nationality and defines them as unidentified ethnic groups. However, in ethnology and history, it is still controversial whether Chuanqing people belong to the Han nationality.

Chuanqing people are mainly distributed in remote mountainous areas of Guizhou, and some of them live in county towns. At present, the population is about 670,000, which is the largest unidentified ethnic group in China. Most Chuanqing people think that they are a nation independent of the Han nationality, but they are not accepted by most scholars.

At present, there are still two theories about the origin of Chuanqing people: indigenous theory and Chinese branch theory. Many scholars believe that Chuanqing people are descendants of soldiers who settled in Guizhou after Zhu Yuanzhang sent Fu Youde and Mu Ying to crusade against Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty. Since the first census of 1953, Chuanqing people have been working hard on ethnic affiliation. They think they are an independent nation, and their folk customs and traditions are really different from those of the Han nationality.
