In a sense, the Xiongnu were the first nomadic herders who were a fundamental threat to the Han people

What is more ironic is that the Xiongnu have the title of "remnants of the Xia Dynasty" in many materials of later generations. In other words www.biquge.info the many wars between the Han nation and the Huns, its commanders are really out of step with national heroes in many ways.

Because this itself is an internal collision between the Chinese nation and the Xiongnu.

On the other hand, Donghu, a nation that mainly fishes and hunts, but also has a certain nomadic culture, can be regarded as a real foreign race for the Chinese nation.

In the historical development of the Chinese nation, it is often the historical process of foreign expansion.

The more definite journey of foreign expansion, or the actual written record, rather than just relying on legends, began with the Shang Dynasty.

And at this time, the Chinese nation officially needs to face the existence of four foreign enemies.

Among them, these four foreign enemies are Dongyi, Nanban, Xirong and Beidi.

And this concept mainly comes from: "Yi in the east, Rong in the west, Barbarian in the south, and Di in the north".

......

Dongyi is the general name of the residents of the lower reaches of the Yellow River Basin by the Central Plains people during the **** period in China. It was first called "Yi" during the Xia and Shang dynasties, without the concept of foreign races, but as the name of the tribal alliance, and there is an archaeological view that Dongyi refers to the bearer of the Yueshi culture from the beginning of the Later Li culture to the Yue Shi culture.

Dongyi, also known as Yifang, refers to different groups in different periods, and Dongyi was an important part of the Huaxia ethnic group in the early days. During the Zhou Dynasty, it specifically referred to the foreign ethnic groups of Jiaodong and Jiaoxi in Shandong, and Dongyi became the general name of the ancient Han nationality for the non-ethnic groups in the East. After the Qin and Han dynasties, Dongyi mostly referred to foreign ethnic groups living on the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese archipelago and the Ryukyu Islands in eastern China, or ethnic minorities in northeastern China.

Dongyi is not a specific ethnic group, and the concept of the reference has changed repeatedly with the change of the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty. In the Zhou Dynasty, Su Shen was also included in the scope of Dongyi. Later, Japan and Korea were also included in Dongyi. Dongyi is not a national concept, but a collective term for different ethnic groups living in the East, with different cultures, customs, languages, races, traditions, and origins.

In the early days of the Dongyi, there were many tribes that belonged to the Chinese ethnic group. However, in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Yi was actually a big or human character in the oracle bone inscriptions and Jin inscriptions, so the saying that Yi was identified as an archer with the Yi character "from the big from the bow" may have been attached by the Han Dynasty people.

In the pre-Qin period, according to the historical records and archaeological discoveries of later generations, Shang and Dongyi had many wars, and Yin Shang repeatedly conquered Dongyi, which greatly damaged the vitality, and was finally destroyed by Zhou, who also fought frequently with Dongyi.

There is no clear record of whether the Xia Dynasty was at war with Dongyi in later generations, but there is a theory that the territory of the Xia Dynasty did not border Dongyi.
