This part of our country was once held back by Vietnam. After returning to China, what is it like now?

There are three small islands in Jiangping Town, Dongxing City, under the jurisdiction of Fangchenggang City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, my country, namely Wutou, Wanwei and Shanxin, collectively known as the Jing Islands. This is also the only gathering place of the Jing people in my country today.

In fact, when many people mention the ethnic minorities in China, there are only a few people who can name them Ming, and only a few of them have an impression, while they may be even less familiar with the Jing ethnic group. However, among the 56 ethnic groups, the Kinh ethnic group is the only maritime ethnic group that relies on fishing for its livelihood.

The Three Kinh Islands had always been Chinese territory before the Northern Song Dynasty. After the rebellion of Nong Zhigao, the chieftain of Guangxi, was put down in the later period, Vietnam took the opportunity to control this place. And during the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the three Kinh islands were also under the jurisdiction of Vietnam and became an enclave of the Nguyen Dynasty of Vietnam.

In 1885, the Qing government signed the Sino-French Contract with France, which was the Sino-French Treaty on Vietnam, and the three Kinh Islands were re-incorporated into China's territory. However, in the 20th century, our country lent the Kinh Islands to Vietnam to help Vietnam fight against France.

Vietnam and the Kinh Islands are only separated by a river, and they have a deep connection in history. Vietnam has long coveted the Kinh Islands, hoping to take them into its possession, and even During the period of bad relations between China and the Soviet Union, Vietnam, with the help of the Soviet Union, explicitly prohibited Chinese fishermen from landing on the three Kinh islands.

In fact, it can be clearly seen from Vietnam's behavior that there is something wrong with the country's roots. If Vietnam is regarded as a person, then it is obvious that Vietnam's character is not good. In recent years, although a series of actions taken by our country have better explained the view that Vietnam's character is not good.

As time went by, the counterattack against Vietnam also began. From February to March 1979, Vietnam, with the support of the Soviet Union, took hostile actions against China, but with the help of Vietnam This small country may actually be a little proud. Our country took self-defense measures and occupied more than 20 important cities and counties in northern Vietnam in a short period of time. Within a month, it announced its withdrawal from Vietnam. This war It has also further worsened the relationship between China and Vietnam, reaching its lowest point.

The Sino-Vietnam border war lasted for ten years, but through these ten years, it also maintained the stability of China's southwest border, and also let Vietnam know how much it weighed. Before, China had A large amount of aid supplies were recovered during the process of withdrawing from the country, and military facilities, roads, railways, and mines in North Vietnam were destroyed along the way. And the three islands of the Jing tribe have also returned to the embrace of our country.

China’s territory is not something that small barbarian countries like Vietnam can rely on without returning it. With the return of the three islands of the Jing people, the Jing people gradually showed the courage of the Chinese nation, and as they continued to integrate with the Han people, they also absorbed some Han culture, and later even spoke Chinese and wrote Chinese characters.

The Jing ethnic group is one of the few, and can even be described as the only, maritime ethnic group in our country. The Jing people also invented a unique fishing method called stilt fishing, which has now become an intangible cultural heritage.

The 56 ethnic groups all have their own unique cultural charm, and when they gather together, they form a splendid Chinese culture, and the reason why China has been able to stand firm for 5,000 years is also For this reason, I wonder what everyone thinks of the Jing people, the only maritime ethnic group in our country?
