Where did the Huns finally go?

According to historical research, some people went to Europe and may gradually become Hungarians today. Some people continued to fight in the Central Plains, most of them gradually became Chinese, while others settled in the north and merged with Mongolia and other ethnic groups.

1, fled to Europe

Xiongnu was completely defeated by Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, and some Xiongnu fled to Europe. As the Huns are nomadic people, without their own writing and historical classics, and the fugitives are unwilling to mention their painful experiences in Asia, they gradually settled in Europe. It is said that Hungarians are the closest to Huns now.

2. Incorporate into the Central Plains

Some fled to Europe, and some merged with Xianbei people, calling themselves Xianbei people. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the southern Xiongnu invaded the Central Plains and established Nanzhao, Beiliang and other countries. Later, the Central Plains was unified, and they gradually merged with the Han people in the Central Plains. Similarly, due to the lack of their own writing and recording culture, the Huns gradually disappeared and completely sinicized.

Step 3 Settle in Mongolia

The last part of Xiongnu stayed in the north, merged with many nationalities, and gradually formed Mongolia, Khitan and Turkic. Now in Mongolia, there are still quite a few men with Xiongnu genes.

The origin of Xiongnu

There may be at least 5-6 sources of Huns, including the early Huns who first moved in Yinshan area, the semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral tribes such as Hu Lin and Yiqu, which were gradually annexed, the adherents left by the Dayue family in Tuhuoluo, some Donghu people, some Iranians who defected to the western regions, and a large number of pre-Qin immigrants who fled the Central Plains.

In the 20th century, Soviet archaeologists excavated a lot of tombs left by Xiongnu in the edge of Central Asia and Northeast Asia. This kind of silk is the best proof of the complex origin of Xiongnu. Most people in it look similar in clothes and hairstyles, but if you look closely, you will know that there are subtle differences. This difference was a symbol of different tribes or groups in ancient times.

To put it simply, the Huns first appeared in the Ordos grassland and several small tribal complexes in the yinshan mountains. In nomadic culture, they accepted the influence of the Scotty culture inherited from the Black Sea-Caucasus region.

The place where they live is the only place where things move in the ancient nomadic world, and it is very convenient to learn from others. The local area is also the key point for ancient Mongolian-Siberian residents to migrate from north to south.
