The little toe has two toenails, or is not pure Han Chinese, which may be characteristic of its descendants
There are 56 ethnic groups in China, and today, the Han and ethnic minorities are united and help each other. However, there are still considerable differences in cultural practices between the two sides, and we should learn to respect and understand these differences.
In addition to cultural customs, there are also some differences in appearance between ethnic minorities and Han Chinese due to different geographical locations and climatic conditions. Today we are going to talk about the differences in the characteristics of certain parts of the body. If you find yourself with two winged nails on your little toes, it's probably not pure Han Chinese, but their descendants, who are they?Please follow me.
For the vast majority of people, the little toe is a perfect nail like any other toe, but unless there are special circumstances, the little toe will have two nails. The earliest occurrence of two toenails in the little toe is due to the large-scale migration of the population to Shanxi during the Hongwu period.
The Hongwu period is also known as the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and wars were frequent. The Yellow River basin is plagued by war, and the people living in the region are not immune. People can die in war at any time. In addition to the war, there was also a famine at that time, and many people died of starvation. In order to survive, some people have had to leave their homes and choose to live in resource-rich places far from the war.
Among them, some people from Dahuaishu Village, Hongdong County, Shanxi Province, chose to emigrate. However, these people choose to stay away from their hometowns, and they are actually reluctant to leave in their hearts, thinking that they will be able to return to their hometowns one day. But how can they be sure that they will be from their hometown when they go back?
They came up with a way to leave a unique mark on the people who belonged to this village. So, they decided to cut their toes in half with a knife, which is the mark they came from in Dahuaishu Village, Hongdong County, Shanxi Province. If a relative gets separated during the migration, it can be identified later by this mark.
Regarding this claim, scientific studies have shown that most people with two layers of tiny toenails are indeed residents of Shanxi Province, or that their ancestors were residents of Shanxi Province. This evidence suggests that if a person's little toe has two layers of toenails, then he is likely to be a descendant of that segment.
However, there are also people who are skeptical, and some say that if you want to make a plate, why use a knife to cut the little toe in half like thisBecause knives are very painful and can cause more serious injuries if used incorrectly. So, if you really want to make a mark, you can choose other gentle ways.
As for why there are two leaves on the little toe, some people explain that it belongs to the Yellow River basin in Shanxi, which is very suitable for agricultural production, and local farmers have to work in the fields every day. Therefore, some people say that these two fingers are due to long-term work in the field, which causes the little finger to be deformed for a long time, forming two fingers. However, it is unclear whether this condition is hereditary, as it is most likely developed later in life.
In fact, in addition to Shanxi people, some people who are not Shanxi people also have two little fingers, why is this?According to historical records, in the history of the Xianbei people, there are two leaves on the little toe, which is unique.
Historically, the contradiction between the ** centralized dynasty and the ethnic minorities is still very large, and the Xianbei people are the second nomadic people after the rise of the Xiongnu, and their strength should not be underestimated. The rise of this nation coincided with a period of crisis between the North and the South, with political corruption, weakening of imperial power, and very serious class contradictions. In this case, the ruler does nothing and spends his days enjoying himself.
During this period, the nomads were affected by natural disasters, and some nomads decided to move to the Central Plains, but with the passage of time, some nomads who had lived in the Central Plains for a long time gradually became sinicized. Under this trend, the nomads realized that the Central Plains was a prosperous place, and their ambitions gradually expanded.
As a result, the nomads began to migrate to the Central Plains to establish their own regimes, thus creating a north-south conflict with the Han regime in the south. Among them, the Xianbei tribe was the most prominent, but the most influential was the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was established by the Tuoba tribe, which unified the north. Especially during the period of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the policy of sinicization was implemented, and the Xianbei people gradually became sinicized.
At that time, many Xianbei people intermarried with Han Chinese. The Xianbei people had two toenails on their small feet, so it was likely that the children of intermarriage with the Han Chinese had genetic diseases. In this case, this unique characteristic of the Xianbei people is inherited.
This theory is generally accepted. After all, the first theory is that the influence of nurture causes a person to grow two layers of toenails on his little feet, while the Xianbei people make two layers of toenails on their small feet through genetics, and then make their offspring also appear this trait, so the second theory is more convincing.
So, if you find that you have two layers of nails on your little toenails, which is not an acquired cause, and you are born like this, then you are most likely not a pure Han Chinese, your ancestors are most likely Xianbei people, and you are their descendants.
Some people will say that there are two leaves on the little toe, which is ugly and strange, and even embarrassed to be seen by others because of this difference, for fear of being laughed at. People with two toes don't fall into this kind of thinking, understand that you can't blame yourself for it, you can blame it on people who laugh at others, it's not something to laugh at.
Secondly, having two toenails on your little toe isn't something to draw attention to, and besides, we wear socks when we go out most of the year. Unless sandals are worn in the summer heat, but even then, no one cares about a person's feet, and it's also a little toe, so there's no need to care about the difference. Therefore, when encountering such differences, we should all respect and be more tolerant.
