Do Manchu people in Yuan Dynasty belong to Semu people?

Classification of political status of population in Yuan Dynasty;

Mongols-nobles of Mongolian headquarters and other tribes, who devoted themselves to Mongolian headquarters in the first summer.

Semu people-other Mongolian tribes who joined Mongolia in the early days, Khitan nobles, Qincha of Central Asian ministries, Dali nobles, Tubo nobles, Uighur ministries and foreign officials hired by the Yuan Dynasty court.

Han people-the legacy of the former Xixia, the jurchen aristocrat of the former Jin Dynasty, the foreign minister of North Korea, the scholars of Bohai Sea, the scholars of Han nationality, etc.

Southerners-scholars of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, local officials of the Yue people, and so on.

The ancestors of Manchu, Nuzhen and Bohai people, mainly belonged to the Han class in the Yuan Dynasty (Han people were not Han people), but the early defected Nuzhen became the first summer of Mongolian nobles, that is, the retainers, so a few of them belonged to Mongols (Mongols were not Mongols).

The Han people mentioned in the Yuan Dynasty were not Han people, but scholars in Han areas. Many descendants of Nuzhen bureaucrats in the Jin Dynasty lived in Hebei and Shanxi, so they were classified as Han Chinese, not Han Chinese.

The word "nation" is a foreign word introduced from Japan in the early 20th century. It is a modern thing for China people to truly understand the nation and distinguish the concept of the nation, but it is only 90 years.

At that time, I didn't know what a nation was. Even Mongolian aristocrats just entered the threshold of the intellectual class in the early Yuan Dynasty, let alone identify with a nation. The different levels of the Yuan Dynasty were mainly aimed at the upper classes in different regions. The purpose of grading is to limit the political rights of non-Mongolian aristocrats, so as to ensure that the children of Mongolian aristocrats can get more office vacancies, rather than specifically targeting their own nationalities. The classification of population restricted the rights of the upper class who were not Mongolian aristocrats, so that they could not surpass Mongolian aristocrats, which was the means to maintain the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. For the lower class people of all ethnic groups at that time, the population class was meaningless to them, because they were the lower class of society and had no chance to be officials for generations, so the ordinary people were not classified into four classes at all.
