Hey guys, I'm back after a long break.

I have a few questions that require answering:

The differences between the various Han sub-groups in the larger Han ethnic group - such as the Han mixed with the natives in Northern, Southern, Western, etc China?

Also, can you describe the relations of the ethnic groups of the Southern Chinese - the Han ethnic group with the Yue, Vietnamese and natives who resided near Canton and Guangdong in terms of ethnic mixing, etc?


thanks

Quite a number of the ethnic minorities group in Southern China can be traced back to the "Bai Yue 百越" before Han dynasty period.

The Cantonese, Fujianese were generally thought to be a intermingle mix between Northern Han and some groups of Yue. Proportion of mixing can vary of course.




We already have a long discussion about this history and ethnic mixing. See http://www.chinahistoryforum.com/index.php?showtopic=3798
