Chapter 8 The upper part of the documentary of the Shihu (Stone(2)

Before entering the Central Plains, the Jiezu (Kara People) people belonged to the Xiongnu people, so they were called "Xiongnu tribes". However, whether the Kara people were a branch of the Xiongnu people is controversial in history. According to the current ethnic examination, it can be determined that the Kara people should not be a branch of the Xiongnu, but a unique minority who was defeated by the Xiongnu and then annexed to the Xiongnu. Here, the "Xiongnu tribe" can also be understood as "the slaves of the Huns".

Why do you say that? According to historical records, both the Xiongnu and Han people belong to the yellow race, which is characterized by yellow skin, while the Kara people are white, with high nose bridge, deep eye set, and curly hair. Historian Chen Yinke believes that they were Yueshi people who belonged to the Yueshi kingdom in ancient times.. During the Western Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu conquered the Yueshi state, so they took its people captive as their slaves..After several hundred years of evolution, they became the "Xiongnu Branch" during the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen States.
