Malaysians are from China?

Malaysians are not from China. Chinese in Malaysia are mainly descendants of China, who migrated from China, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan to the Malay Peninsula during the Ming, Qing and Republic of China for hundreds of years. Chinese in Malaysia used to call themselves Tang people and Chinese in ancient times. After the founding of the Republic of China, they began to call themselves China people, Chinese and overseas Chinese. After Malaysia's independence, they began to call themselves China people and Chinese, and became Malaysian nationals, instead of calling themselves "China people" and "overseas Chinese". According to a statistic in the mid-1980s, there are 654.38+0.6 billion Austronesian-speaking peoples and their branches in Indonesia, 654.38+0.4 billion in Malaysia and 50 million in the Philippines. These Austronesian speakers are also called Malays or Indonesians.

In our inherent concept, we always feel that these indigenous people in tropical areas have lived here since ancient times. In fact, these so-called Malays may come from China and are closely related to the well-known "Baiyue".

The different styles of north and south in China.

Before 4000 BC, the northern part of China was still in the last glorious moment of Longshan culture, and the Central Plains culture, represented by Tao, Ding and Wei, began to be popular in the Yellow River valley, which also laid the embryonic form for the civilization in the Northern Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties.

However, at that time, the residents in the Yangtze River valley and its south were very different from the Han ancestors living in the distant Yellow River valley. Southern rice farming, represented by Liangzhu culture, is not only different from the north in lifestyle, but also uses jade, jade, jade and other jade rare in the north as a symbol of power, standing with the north, which is what later generations call "a country where the soldiers are strong and invincible." At that time, although the southern part of China was very different from the northern civilization, it was closely related to Southeast Asia in culture, nationality and language.

According to China's ancient books, during the Tang Dynasty, a small number of Tang people went south to Malaysia to engage in commercial activities. At that time, the Tang people mainly stayed in business, but did not settle in large numbers.

By the Ming Dynasty, a large number of rebels and Hui people began to migrate to the South China Sea (Malay Archipelago). Due to his great contribution to the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He stayed in Lamanga many times, and later built Lamanga, Dagang and Surabaya into the base camp of his fleet, and also placed several Hui people as local leaders. There are Shi Jinqing in Dagang and several in Surabaya. Sunanampel, Sunanbonang, Sunankalijaga, Sunangungungjati and SunanGiri, etc. Aga, who is honored as the "Nine Saints" of Java Island, and a controversial figure, the king of Thymisura and Manraja, are said to have accepted the title of Hisquin Dasha in Persian Islam, but he did not convert. Up to now, there are still a lot of relics related to Zheng He Hui people in Malacca. According to the records in Volume 325 of Ming History, Zheng He once escorted a large number of Daming personnel, including King Lamanga and Su Mi La, totaling 500 people, to settle in Lamanga. At the same time, the vigorous development of Islamic maritime trade has also prompted the activities of Hui people and Tang people in Manraja to increase day by day.
