Why do some people say that the Han nationality is not a pure race? The integration of many ethnic minorities?

Scientists in Chinese mainland found that there is no pure Han nationality in China, and even under the DNA test, the concept of Han nationality no longer exists.

According to Chongqing Evening News, Xie Xiaodong, an associate professor at the School of Life Sciences of Lanzhou University, said in an interview that he had just completed a DNA study on the changes of ethnic minorities in northwest China. Historically, the Central Plains is mainly today's Henan, southwestern Shanxi, western Jiangsu and northwestern Anhui. Only people who live here can be regarded as Zhongyuan people, that is, relatively pure Han people.

Xie Xiaodong said, "According to research, today's Hakkas actually inherited the cultural traditions of the people in the Central Plains at that time. For example, they speak old sayings and their customs have historical traces. They are real Zhongyuan people, and now they are a minority. 」

He said: "In the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the Western Zhou Dynasty, with its capital now in An, definitely belonged to the Han nationality, but in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qin, who was also a native of Shaanxi, was directly defined as Rong and became a minority. 」; "Therefore, the Han nationality is only an artificial regional division in a certain period. This nation has no specific definition, but was established to distinguish it from the surrounding areas. 」

With the changes of China's history, even the residents who were once defined as Han nationality areas have moved on a large scale. The Han nationality has been moving south from the Central Plains because of joining the army, fleeing the war and being exiled for crimes.

He also said, "There is no pure Han nationality in China, which is also related to the long-term large-scale ethnic migration. In the long historical period, neighboring ethnic minorities and even neighboring countries are constantly integrating with the Han nationality. 」
