Today, the ancestors of these countries have ancient Chinese genes flowing in their blood

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-03-07

China, this ancient land, has not only nurtured the glory of one of the four ancient civilizations, but also created a brilliant cultural treasure for 5,000 years. Today, these Chinese who have crossed the ocean have taken root all over the world, and even established many overseas countries, and their footprints have spread all over the world and become the pride of the world. Next, let's walk into the long history of these countries, take stock of those admirable glorious chapters, and see which one you admire the most!

01 The uncle of the king of Shang was foundedNorth Korea

King Yin's uncle, Jizi, is as famous as Weizi and Bigan, and is known as "Yin Mo Sanren" in history. After the fall of the Shang Dynasty, Emperor Uncle Jizi fled to the Eastern Peninsula and established Joseon, which is considered to be the first person to establish the country of ancient Joseon.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Wei Man, the general of the King of Yan, led more than 1,000 foot soldiers to flee to Korea and established the Wei Manchu Dynasty. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty had four counties under the Korean Peninsula, bringing most of the Korean Peninsula under the Han Dynasty's administrative system, one of which was called Pyongyang. The city of Pyongyang that we see today is, in fact, the seat of the Pyongyang administrative office developed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In addition to Pyongyang, one of the four counties is also called Seoul, but after the Korean War, it was renamed Seoul. Maybe it's because Koreans want to get some psychological balance, or because they don't want to acknowledge this history. However, these are facts that have already happened and cannot be denied.

In 1392, Yi Sung-gye overthrew the Goryeo Dynasty and established himself as king. North Korea sent a mission to ask Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty to give it to "North Korea", including today's South Korea, and it has continued to this day. It was not until after the First Sino-Japanese War that the Qing Dynasty signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki with Japan, and Korea was completely reduced to a Japanese colony and broke away from the relationship with China.

In modern Korean, we can find at least 70% of the vocabulary related to Chinese, and 30% of them are inherent Chinese characters. For example, South Koreans' ID card names must be in standard Chinese in addition to Korean, and North Koreans also celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival like Chinese.

02 Vietnam's ancestors are basically the first in China

In Vietnamese mythology and legend, the great-grandson of the Chinese Yan Emperor Shennong's clan was named Lu Xu, who was named King of Jingyang, who was in charge of the southern lands around Dongting Lake, and established a new country here called the "Red Ghost Country". Lu Xu's descendants, Luo Long Jun, and his fifty sons are called "the ancestors of Baiyue" and "descendants of Xianlong" by the Vietnamese and the ethnic minorities in the Liangguang region of China today, and became the ancestors of the Vietnamese. According to Guns, Germs and Steel, most of the indigenous people in Indochina and the Malay Archipelago are genetically similar to those in southern China, and the closer they are, the more similar they become. In fact, Vietnam originated from the Baiyue ethnic group in southern China in ancient times, mainly from the two branches of the Baiyue people in northern Vietnam, Luo Yue and Ouyue.

After the Qin Dynasty unified the world, Qin Shi Huang sent millions of people and hundreds of thousands of troops to Lingnan, and Vietnam was also developed.

Since the Qin Dynasty, Vietnam has been a Chinese territory. Until the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Wu Quan established the Wu Dynasty in Jiaozhi, but it has always belonged to the feudal vassal state of China. During the Qing Dynasty, it was given the name Vietnam by Jiaqing.

After the Sino-French War of 1885, the Manchus lost their vassal states of Vietnam and at the same time their vassal states of Burma. Vietnam became a French colony, and Burma belonged to British India.

It is said that after the end of World War II, the United States intended for China to accept Vietnam, but the ** authorities at that time did not agree, which can be described as a lack of strategic vision.

03The descendants of the Xiongnu who migrated westward founded Hungary

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many nomadic people who moved westward, the most famous of which was of course the Northern Xiongnu. After the defeat in the Han-Hungarian War, the Xiongnu migrated westward and stayed in Western Asia for two hundred years before appearing in the steppes of Eastern Europe, nearly destroying the Roman Empire and establishing the Hun Empire at the same time. Attila, the king of the Huns, was called the "Whip of God" by Europeans. After a long period of historical changes, this group of Huns gradually became Hungarians.

So far, we can find a lot of "evidence", such as the Hungarian name, just like us, the surname comes first, not the same as in Europe and the Arab countries. Also like us, like us, like to eat rice noodles instead of milk coffee for Western food.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this origin that Hungary, as a European country, does not hesitate to single out the EU against NATO when it comes to China issues, but also maintains a friendly stance with China. In 1971, Hungary, as a European country, voted invaluable in favor of China's restoration of its seat in the United Nations. In 2015, the European Union collectively took a tough stance against China's implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative, and Hungary was the first Western country to publicly support the Belt and Road Initiative. During the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, when Western countries fell into a hole and China was short of epidemic prevention materials, Hungary immediately provided medical supplies. Nowadays, some netizens jokingly call Hungary China's "European railway".

04 Turkic descendants formed the state of Central Asia

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Turks once became a major problem for the Central Plains Dynasty. Under the continuous blows of the Tang Dynasty, the Turkic Empire gradually fell into ** and eventually collapsed, and was forced to migrate westward into West and Central Asia. And a number of states were established in Central and West Asia, where the Turks established the Qarakhanid Dynasty, the Ghazni Dynasty, the Seljuk Empire, the Timurid Empire, Khorezm, etc. China's ancient land "Silk Road" also went to Europe from here.

As it stands, neither Turkmens nor Kazakhs, nor Uzbeks, Kyrgyz, Tajiks, etc., consider themselves descendants of the Turkic peoples, that is, Turkic states.

In addition, the Ottoman Turks also regarded the Turkic people as their ancestors, and the Republic of Tuva, Tatarstan, and Yakuk in Russia are also known as descendants of the Turkic people.

05 The descendants of Ma Chao of the Western Liang Army of the Three Kingdoms established Armenia

According to the "History of Armenia", the founder of the Armenian state was the Mamikonian family, and the founder of this family was called Ma Kang, who came from China and was a native of the Three Kingdoms period.

However, the fact that Ma Kang and his people settled in the Armenian region is unequivocal. As for why they later changed their surname to "Maminikoyan", there is a theory circulating. It is said that the descendants of the Ma family married a local princess and thus became one of the nobles. In order to highlight the glory and dignity of this marriage, they skillfully combined the surname Ma with the surname of the princess to create a new noble surname - Maminik Young. This surname not only integrates the essence of Eastern and Western cultures, but also symbolizes the integration and inheritance of the bloodlines of the two families.

The name of Vardan Mamikonyan shines brightly in the long history of Armenia, like an eternal star, and is remembered and praised by countless people. He is the pride of Armenia, the soul of the country, and a hero in the hearts of the people. Since the independence of Armenia in 1991, his name has been endowed with the highest glory and has become a medal for bravery and loyalty, the Order of Vardan Mamikonian.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the existence of the Mamikonian family that many international historians believe that Armenia was founded by Chinese descendants.

06 At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Fujian Huang Senping was known as one of the ancestors of Brunei

Brunei is located in the northern part of Kalimantan Island, which is the state of Malaysia, and its two territories are not connected. The territory covers an area of 5,765 square kilometers, which is about ninety percent of the size of Shanghai. The population is about 45950,000, less than a small county in China.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil in China, Huang Senping of Fujian Province led the entire family and thousands of neighbors to sail south to Borneo to avoid the chaos. Subsequently, the Chinese army led by Wong Sen Ping also helped the King of Brunei establish a new Brunei Empire, ruling over all of Kalimantan and Palawan in the present-day Philippines, as well as parts of Luzon, establishing the largest power in Southeast Asia.

On January 1, 1984, Sudan declared that Brunei is a fully independent country, and Brunei has become one of the richest countries in the world, with a per capita GDP of nearly 3$720,000.

In addition, Singapore, Azerbaijan and other countries can also trace their roots back to the hands of ancient Chinese descendants. Whether or not humans originated in Africa is unknown. However, from the observation of the long history of mankind for 30,000 years, the impact of China on human civilization can be described as far-reaching and huge, beyond our imagination.
