The Xiongnu originated from **?The Xiongnu, who fought with the Han Dynasty for more than 130 years, finally went to **?In this article, the author will talk to you about this topic. The Xiongnu regime was not only the glory of an ethnic minority in the north, but also the end of an ethnic minority. Where does it come from?How to rise?Where did you end up?It's all like a mystery sealed in the depths of history. Speculation on the origin of the Xiongnu
The Xiongnu used to be a powerful nomadic people active in the north of our country, but in the historical classics, they seem to appear out of thin air, so abruptly. According to the "Historical Records": "The Xiongnu, the descendants of their common ancestor Xia Hou, are also called Chunwei." That is to say, the Xiongnu and the Chinese have the same ancestor, and the Xiongnu people developed from the descendants of the Xia Hou. However, from the perspective of the early Xiongnu language family and ethnicity, first, the Xiongnu have obvious characteristics of the Altaic language family, which is named after the Altai Mountains on the border of China, Mongolia and Russia, so it can be seen that this language family is undoubtedly derived from the local area, and it should have little to do with the descendants of Xia. From the perspective of race, from the excavated Xiongnu bones, it seems that their skeletons are tall and strong, and some even have deep eye sockets, obviously with white characteristics, and through genetic testing, it can be seen that the Xiongnu people are different from the main genes of the current Chinese people, so it is completely possible to overturn the conclusion that the Xiongnu are descendants of Xia recorded in the "Historical Records". 
So, where exactly did they come from?Also according to the Historical Records. The Five Emperors Benji recorded: "The Yellow Emperor chased meat porridge in the north", this record reflects that as early as ancient times, the northern ethnic minorities fought with the southern power of the Chinese political desert, combined with the traces of human activities in the Paleolithic Age, meat porridge may be the earliest ancestor of the Xiongnu is not known. Although the name of the meat porridge later became Ghost Fang, Qiangli, Rong Di, etc. in the classics, most of their activities were limited to the Yin Mountain, Hetao area, and the northern part of Shanxi, which explained the Xiongnu from the geographical location, so as to explain the use of Altaic language by the Xiongnu, so the Xiongnu are very likely to be the native people of northern China. 
In addition, according to the "Historical Records", "Book of Han" and other classics, the Xiongnu were in contact with the countries of the Hexi Corridor in the early days, launched wars and plundered property, and many Central Asian whites were captured by the Huns, which also explains the reason why there are whites among the Huns. In summary, there is no doubt that the Xiongnu were native-born nomads, and the use of the language family was caused by geographical location, and the bones with white characteristics may have been taken from captivity and grown naturally outside the country. The development of the Huns
The Xiongnu as early as the period of the three emperors and five emperors multiplied in the vast area of the north, in addition to the "meat porridge" expelled by the Yellow Emperor as early as possible, there are also records in the Wuding period of the Shang Dynasty, there is such a record from the oracle bone inscription unearthed in Yinxu: "Zhen, the women are good for three thousand, and the travel is ten thousand." The "Qiang" here refers to the ghost side. In addition, it is recorded in the "Bamboo Book Chronicle": "In the thirty-second year, the ghost recipe is second to Jing", and it is also recorded in the "Book of Changes": "Gaozong cut the ghost prescription, and the ghost recipe is defeated in three years." It can be seen that at that time, the northern part of the ghost country or the ghost tribe was a great threat to the Shang Dynasty, and it is recorded that the ghost people also have the characteristics of white people, so it fully shows that the Huns at this time were also called ghost parties. At the end of the Shang Dynasty Zhou Dynasty, the ghost side changed a name called the Lynx, they were active in Shaanxi, northern Shanxi, Gansu, Monan area, and the same as the ghost side is that some of them have typical white characteristics, to the Western Weekend period, their name was changed to Dog Rong, once broke through the Zhou Palace, the "Beacon Fire Opera Princes" of the Zhou You King was captured, and the Western Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, and since then, the dog Rong has become a major problem in the heart of the Central Plains Dynasty. 
About the third century B.C. during the Warring States Period, the dog Rong had a new name, that is, we are most familiar with the "Xiongnu", because the Huns entered the Iron Age prematurely, the military strength grew too fast, so they continued to harass the borders of Qin, Zhao, Yan and other countries, in 265 B.C., the main force of the Xiongnu was defeated by Li Mu of Zhao in one fell swoop, and set up Yunzhong, Yanmen, Daijun and other territories. And King Qin Zhao killed King Yiqu and set up three counties: Longxi, Beidi, and Shangjun. Yan expanded its land for thousands of miles and set up five counties such as Yuyang and Shanggu. "Historical Records" records: "The crown brings the seven Warring States, and the Three Kingdoms are bordered by the Xiongnu", which is what it means. After Qin Shi Huang dominated the world, the Xiongnu who were not willing to be lonely came back again, but Qin Shi Huang, in view of the characteristics of the Xiongnu nomads, from the beginning to actively defend and prepare for war, built the Great Wall, Qin Straight Road to resist the Xiongnu. Until the thirty-second year of Qin Shi Huang, when Fang Shi Lu Sheng presented the words "Hu of the Dead Qin" written on the "Book of Records", he sent the general Meng Tian to "attack the Xiongnu 300 miles north", so that the Xiongnu "did not dare to go south to herd horses, and the soldiers did not dare to bend their bows and revenge". 
However, there has always been an irreconcilable contradiction between the Xiongnu and the Han in the Central Plains due to their living environment. Soon after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Han Gaozu was almost captured by the Huns in the "Siege of Baideng", so the Han Dynasty has been accumulating strength to prepare for a counterattack. In the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, famous generals such as Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, and Li Guang were born. 
In 119 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty launched the largest campaign against the nomads in China's history, and the Xiongnu were defeated and retreated to Mobei. In 57 BC, the Xiongnu had internal strife and **, and the Xiongnu leader Huhan Yeshan Yu submitted to the Han Dynasty. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu was divided into two parts, the north and the south, the Han and the emperor took advantage of this opportunity to unite the Southern Xiongnu and launched a huge offensive against the Northern Xiongnu. By 460 AD, this year was the nightmare of the Huns, this was the last year of their nation's existence, the empire was destroyed by the Rouran State, their Shan Yu Qu An Guo was also killed in battle, and the strong nation that roamed the steppe for more than 700 years disappeared in history, and the Xiongnu tribe became history. 
After the Huns were defeated, where did the Huns fall?Under the powerful offensive of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were forced to start a great migration, which was a process of integration of the Xiongnu with other ethnic groups. 
The history of ethnic integration of the Southern Xiongnu. After the Xiongnu Empire**, the Southern Xiongnu have been living in the Hetao region and the Yunzhong region of Shanxi, where they intermingled with the Han people, intermarried, accepted the Han culture, and submitted to the Han civilization. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao divided the Xiongnu into five divisions. In the third century AD, Liu Yuan, the governor of the five major capitals of the Xiongnu, served as the Xiongnu Dadanyu during the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" in the Western Jin Dynasty, occupied most of northern China, and proclaimed himself the King of Han, known as Han Zhao in history. And Shi Le, the leader of another Xiongnu ethnic group, usurped Han Zhao and established the state of Zhao, known as Later Zhao in history. Other regimes, such as Liu Bobo, a descendant of the Xiongnu and Xianbei people, changed their surname to Helian and established the Xia state in the Hetao area, known as Hu Xia in history, which was later destroyed by the Northern Wei Dynasty. After the Xiongnu and the Xianbei people of Goryeo were integrated, they established the Northern Zhou regime, and finally were usurped by Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui, since then the Xiongnu disappeared from Chinese history as an independent nation, and the descendants of the Xiongnu were integrated into the Han nationality, and changed their Han surnames to Liu, He, Cong, Huyan, Wan Qi, etc., most of whom lived in today's Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places. 
The history of ethnic integration of the Northern Xiongnu. In the middle of the fourth century AD, the Northern Xiongnu destroyed the powerful Turkic state of Alan, and under the leadership of Dadan Yu Baramber, launched an attack on the Ostrogoths, the Ostrogoths were completely annihilated, and the king committed suicide. Soon after, the Huns crossed the Don River, inflicted heavy losses on the Visigoths, and occupied the South Russian steppe, and the Huns were completely repaired. In 384 AD, the Huns continued their war against Mesopotamia and captured the city of Edsha. In 396 AD, the Persian Empire was invaded, and the Xiongnu Empire, with the Hungarian Plain as the ruling center, flourished again, but the heyday of the Xiongnu Empire was reached under the leadership of Dadan Yu Attila, and in 445 AD, Attila launched a large-scale war against Northern and Eastern Europe, the Germans and Slavs surrendered one after another, and he also invaded the Eastern Roman Empire, forcing them to pay reparations and cede land. Since then, the empire established by the Xiongnu who migrated westward stretched from the Aral Sea in the east, the Baltic Sea in the north, the Atlantic coast in the west, and the Alps in the south.
However, history is always the same, and it is the natural law of the law of history that prosperity must decline. In 453 AD, Attila died of a burst blood vessel the day after marrying a Germanic princess, after which the Xiongnu Empire fell into a civil war for the throne, with the consumption of national strength, the Ostrogoths, the Gipidian rebelled, and the Huns had to retreat to the South Russian Plain in 454 AD, and the powerful empire collapsed instantly. In 461 AD, one of Attila's sons wanted to rebuild the Xiongnu Empire and launched an attack on the Ostrogoths, only to suffer heavy losses. In 468 AD, he launched another attack on the Eastern Roman Empire, but this time even he was killed on the battlefield, and since then the Huns have been silent and gradually forgotten by history, and their people have been integrated into the tribes of various European countries, and the blood is blended, and it is difficult to find pure Huns again.
It is worth mentioning that in 2004, more than 2,500 Hungarians applied to ** to recognize them as "Huns", although this request was ultimately rejected by Hungary**, but this does mean that the Huns did establish a strong state in the area, and there are descendants who have lived here. ConclusionUnder the general trend of ethnic integration, in the end, the Xiongnu people either integrated into the Chinese nation or into the European tribes, and it was difficult to find a trace after all. Facts have proved that in any era and in any place, the nomadic civilization will eventually succumb to the agricultural civilization, and the advanced civilization will drive the backward civilization to rupture, merge, and then rupture and re-integrate, and so on, and finally form a splendid civilization, and the Xiongnu nation perfectly interprets this point.
