At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, China society completely collapsed because of the population explosion. In the most developed Yellow River valley, most of the population died and many people fled everywhere. At this time, a nation-Xianbei people rose in the northeast. They lived in the name of the mountain, so Xianbei people lived in the north of Daxing 'anling first, and then slowly began to move south. In 557, the Western Wei Dynasty became the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Emperor Wen of the Northern Zhou Dynasty usurped power. Later, the Sui Dynasty was established.

As we all know, the Sui and Tang Dynasties were the heyday in ancient Chinese history, but there is a saying that the Sui and Tang Dynasties were the dynasties of Xianbei people. This statement was once very popular, and there was a heated debate in China academic circles during the Japanese invasion of China. Because, when Japan invaded China, Japanese scholars suggested that the Sui and Tang Dynasties were Xianbei, so the Sui and Tang Dynasties were Xianbei dynasties.

Later, this statement was recognized by some domestic scholars, but most scholars still disagree. Because, once we agree with this statement, it will not only have a bad influence on the royal lineage of China in Sui and Tang Dynasties, but also be very unfavorable to our national unity. However, this statement has not disappeared, and today I will talk about the source of this statement.

Whether the Sui and Tang royal families are Xianbei or not, let's first look at what nationality their mothers are. The literary queen of Sui Dynasty, that is, the queen of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, is a descendant of Xianbei nationality. Yuan Zhen is the fourth daughter of Xianbei nobles and the biological mother of Tang Gaozu tang gaozu. There is also a queen named fighting spirit, who is also a Xianbei nationality. Queen Shi of Emperor Taizong is also a Xianbei nationality.

In this way, most of the matriarchal lineages in Sui and Tang Dynasties are Xianbei people, so their descendants will definitely have Xianbei lineages.

"History of Sui and Tang Dynasties in China" Cambridge believes that Li Yuan's family has nothing to do with Li, a prominent family in Longxi. He quoted Chen Yinke's paper as the basis. Li Yuan's home is Li from Zhao County, Hebei Province. Here, there are Xianbei lineages in the surname clan of the Sui and Tang Dynasties royal family, and we can also capture the national characteristics of Xianbei nationality from the Sui and Tang Dynasties system. Many systems in the Sui and Tang Dynasties continued the system of the Zhou Dynasty, among which the very important "government-soldier system" and "land equalization system" all came from the Xianbei system.

It can be said that the Sui and Tang Dynasties were a famous prosperous dynasty in the ancient history of China, which far surpassed other countries in terms of political map and economic development. As for whether the Sui and Tang Dynasties were Xianbei dynasties, it actually did not affect the historical position of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Looking at the present, China is a multi-ethnic country, with 56 ethnic groups, and all ethnic groups are also playing their own characteristics in various parts of the motherland, making joint contributions to the prosperity of the motherland.

Therefore, no matter what nationality or race, as long as they can contribute to the country or mankind, they will be respected by future generations.
