Preface
December 25, 1991 A country called the Russian Federation entered the world's vision, and it is today Russia.
In the long historical development process, this nation relies on its own unique geographical environment and its strong national character.
has won many battles, both large and small, and has been well known, so it has the honorary title of "Fighting Nation".
However, in the history of China's development, Russia once called China "Kitan" and "Tianxia". So, what kind of story is behind these three special titles?
The beginning of the fighting nation
According to historical data, Russia is located in the northern part of the Eurasian continent, and it also spans the two continents of the Eurasian continent, with a land area of about 17.0982 million square kilometers.
is the largest country in the world today, and it is also a multi-ethnic country with 194 ethnic groups in the world. Its main core ethnic group is Russians.
Their ancestors were the Eastern Slavs' Ross tribe. Later, during the long historical development and evolution, Russia experienced different historical periods such as the Grand Duchy of Moscow, the Russian Empire, and the Soviet era.
Because they have a deep obsession with the land, they are often violated by neighboring countries, so they have participated in countless wars of all sizes.
What is particularly well-known is World War I , World War II , Russia and France War, etc. Russia won both a tragic victory in the fierce battle, of course there were times when they failed, but the spiritual qualities of bravery and strong will reflected in the war made people all over the world admire it.
In the war, the soldiers always insisted on " even if there is only one person, they will fight to the end" 's tenacious belief made the opponent frightened. So will the modern Russians who are constantly evolving and developing history have this spiritual belief?
spirit will always be passed down
Today we often see that even in the cold winter, Russians will chisel ice and line up to swim. At the same time, what is surprising is that they actually keep bears as pets. The ladies on the street are walking in the cold wind in miniskirts, and their faces are filled with happy smiles. Why are they not afraid of the cold?
It turns out that the temperature in Russia is at the lowest temperature of minus 70 degrees Celsius. In order to survive in this harsh environment, they started cold-resistant training since childhood.
In the cold weather, children can be seen naked and start the scenes of "Ice Bucket Challenge" and "Lightly Sleeping in the Snow" everywhere.
Day after day they slowly adapted to such bad weather, and for them, these are things they are used to.
Therefore, in the hearts of Russians, they have a national character of tenacious and unyielding and hard-working. No matter what circumstances they are, they always uphold the belief in their hearts.
Based on this, the Russian country has been given a glorious title by us as "Combat Nation". However, why did the Russians give China the title of "Kitan" and "Tianxia"?
The origin of Khitan and the world
In ancient China , there was a nomadic people in the northeast region of . They unified most areas in northern ancient China because they were good at fighting.
There were some "collisions" in Russia and ancient China at that time due to their geographical location.
, and the brave and good at fighting Khitan tribe returned triumphantly, so in the eyes of the Russians at that time, they thought that the ruler of China was the Khitan tribe.
The reason is that at that time, it was the Khitan tribe at that time, Yelu Abaoji established Liao Kingdom . They were good at fighting and had a tough character. They unified the northern region with their combat capabilities. The Russians called China "Khitan" as the name suggests.
As the exchanges between the two countries become deeper and deeper, the Russians further saw that China has a vast land, wealth and prosperity, and is a rare fertile land. Therefore, the name has changed from "Khitan" to "the world".
In fact, whether it is China's title of Russia's "combat nation" or Russia's title of China's "Kitan" and "World" are the praise and affirmation of the people of the two countries to another country.
Throughout history, the two countries have maintained friendly relations, and they are truly like-minded and strategic cooperation on .
