Since it is ancient history, you should measure it according to ancient history.
The area controlled by Xiongnu was not controlled by Han Dynasty at first. Xiongnu is equivalent to the enemy country of Han Dynasty, and it intrudes everywhere.
As we all know, Ying Zheng (Zhao Zheng and Zulong) unified the farming people in the Central Plains, and since then China has been unified, because we are always farming people, not nomadic people. I have never regarded barbarians, barbarians, Rong and Di as my own species, because they are different from us ancients.
Why did ancestors build the Great Wall? Is it a tourist attraction for future generations? Can I charge for admission? No matter how you play the Great Wall, it is also a defense facility. To guard against one of our own? Watch out for your own people? It can be seen that from the beginning of the construction of the Great Wall, that is, the Zhou Dynasty, our ancestors regarded nomadic people as "aliens" and "aliens".
Forget the Huns. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked Xiongnu in the north, and the sinicized Xiongnu joined the Han Dynasty, which can be counted. People who entered China were from China, and the sinicized Huns were gradually assimilated. But are the Huns only Chinese Huns? Yes, there are real Huns without sinicization. This is what we call "Xiongnu".
How many years has it been said in the textbook that a Zhaojun went to the fortress? Not as good as pipa and cymbals for fifty years. It is a political task as well as a marriage to show respect to the monarch. Although Wang Zhaojun was a maid-in-waiting, the Huns didn't know it, so he was accepted by the imperial clan. If the Huns are our own country, do we use marriage? Marriage with a foreign country is called "marriage". In one country, a female member of the royal family marries a prince, which is called "marrying down". So if the Han Dynasty was Huaxia, would the Huns still be Huaxia? I don't need to say more.
History can only "talk about the present with the past", not "talk about the past with the present", especially the political structure, because it is too one-sided. If from today's perspective, the Huns really originated in New China, then do they count as China people? Besides, Han and Hungary are also different languages and species. Li Bai was born in "Broken Leaf City", near the capital of Kyrgyzstan today. Is Li Bai from Kyrgyzstan? If you start studying now, Li Bai will become a Kyrgyz. So it is necessary to discuss the present from ancient times. At that time, Kyrgyzstan belonged to the western regions of the Tang Dynasty and the sphere of influence of the Tang State, so Li Bai was an out-and-out "Tangren".
Don't talk to me about "Han chauvinism", it's unnecessary. Because the Huns, who were truly attached to the Han Dynasty, had already integrated into the "Han nationality". Han nationality is a mono-ethnic country, and the whole country is Huaxia, which is what we call "Han nationality" today. After the Chinese Huns joined the Han Dynasty, will they still pretend to be Huns? After all, the Huns are enemies. Driven away by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, there will be no Xiongnu north of the Great Wall.
Finally, the word China refers to a country today, but in ancient times, it actually refers to a great civilization. In China, in China, in China, in China.
