I'm han family but born outside china, I heard china ppl said Han Family who not bron at mainland china has the most pure han family ppl blood, cos the han family ppl at mainland Chinese was mixed with other minorities family.

but I dont know the truth biggrin biggrin



Lol, I don't know about that. I think China's ethnic race Han has been mixed for centuries and centuries. Chances are most Han are already mixed a bit, even if they did migrate to another country within the last 200 or 300 years or so. 5000 years is a long time for cultural mixing. biggrin unless it's one of those groups that doesn't allow marriage outside of their ethnic groups....


My grandpop migrate at the last emperor (Qing dynasty), and my family doesn't allow marriage outside of Chinese ppl, my mom still have very Traditional brain, same with my father. that make them kind of outdated. They have many "praying" thing to do every month, like praying for our ancestor or just praying for god. burning paper money or incense etc. embarrassed
Since I'm at mainland now, I felt like my family is more traditional than mainland Chinese, well maybe coz mainland can only have one child. it change many of Chinese traditional, IDK about southern Chinese family, coz here at Beijing they don't do any praying with burning incense anymore. confused
well burning incense is a part of Chinese culture (I think), Beijing still have some ppl burning incense at some temple, but outside of it I don't see ppl burn it at their own house. confused

who at southern china now share some please biggrin biggrin

lol, good question. You can maybe just ask your relatives. Or get some old photos and see if there's any clothing resemblance.

From what I can tell, most northern Chinese were never too into the whole ancestor/God worships rituals. Only in the south is this practice a lot, even in their own homes.



Lol, we got a manchurian and a li family!

so to the Manchurian person, do you guys miss the Qing dynasty? biggrin

I don't think they're old enough to remember the Manchu Dynasty. I think it's a shame that native speakers of Manchu language are almost extinct (though Xibe is pretty close).

I heard China is offering a lot of language schools just to teach Manchurians. And from the news, it's reported that they received double the number of applicants they were expecting to apply! That's a good thing!

Nowadays people don't even know their ethnicity, have never met nor heard of their relatives other than the closest ones, and when they grow up the rarely ever visit their parents, and even grandparents become more and more distant for people. Everything that was once important is becoming something people don't seem to care anymore. It's kinda sad.

You sound patriotic.
It looks like an inevitable thing though, it might stay within the history lines but there is no longer a specific place of origin for lots of people. Most of the people in the world right now are general mix of many things, they just generalize where about they are from usually...

Specific families is quite a well defined origin right?

lol really? my Han Chinese friend told me his grandparents have a book that records everyone in a giant family tree as far as 6 or 7 hundred years ago! eek

Btw, just to reiterate: The following site provides nice photos of each.
