Introduction "The description of the Huns. The Xiongnu people have left a strong mark in the history of our country. But now there is no news about the Huns, so where did the Huns go?
According to the "Historical Records": "It was the post-Huns who escaped far away, and there was no royal court in the south of Mu." Because of the defeat, the Huns migrated north. Since then, what ethnic groups have the Huns evolved into? Some people say that the later European Huns were descendants of the Northern Huns who moved westward, or that the European Huns were descended from a large number of other ethnic groups when the Huns moved north. However, nowadays the European Huns have also disappeared and it is no longer possible to obtain evidence. But what is certain is that among the many modern nations in the Middle East and Europe, many descendants of the Huns should have been left behind.
01
It is also for this reason that the "Hun" has rarely appeared in the research materials of many European historians. , But called it "Asian Huns" or "Oriental Huns". According to historical records, the Huns arrived in the Caspian Sea around 150 AD and lived in the grasslands near the Caspian Sea for about two centuries. Then in the middle of the fourth century, the Huns continued to move westward, conquered Alan, and drove the Germans to move westward. The trajectories of these activities are very consistent with the Huns in European history books. And there is also a record in China's "Northern History": "The Sogdian Kingdom... The Xiongnu kills its king and has its own country." The Sogdian Kingdom is probably the Alan Kingdom that the Huns conquered.
However, some people raised objections. They believed that the appearance and skull characteristics of the Huns and the Huns were too different, so the Huns had nothing to do with the Huns. However, it is well known that the Huns are nomadic people, and almost every steppe nation is a combination of different tribes or many farming nations, and the appearance and characteristics of their bloodlines are constantly changing. Many genetic studies have also proved that some Huns are very close to the Huns.

Many European historians believe that, in fact, among the Hungarians who moved west, there were also a large number of Da Yue clan. Of the tribe. This conclusion is derived from the study of ancient books and languages. The Masagotas and the Huns recorded in the ancient books invaded Europe together, and it is very likely that they are the tribal descendants of the Dayue clan. Because in ancient times, the word "Massa" in Massa Getai had a big meaning; "Getai" was pronounced very similar to Yuezhi.
So comprehensively, we can basically draw the conclusion that the Huns originated from the Xiongnu, Alan, Dayue tribes and Germanic peoples who moved west. After the Huns entered Europe, their power prevailed for a while, but since the death of King Attila in 453 AD, the struggle for power of his three sons Ella, Erna, and Dungissi split the power of the Huns. .
After only maintaining the advantage for two years in the battle, Ella was defeated in the Pannonian Plain due to the Germanic rebellion, and Ella was killed in action. In 463 AD, Dunguisi led the tribe to reoccupy the Pannonian Plain, but the good times did not last long, and Dunguisi was expelled by the Ostrogoths five years later. On the way to withdraw the troops, Deng Jixi was ambushed by the troops of the Eastern Roman Empire. After his death, he was cut off from the head and sent to Constantinople for public demonstration.

After this, it is difficult to find a trace of the Huns in history books. Only a few tribes in Pannonia and the Ukrainian steppe areas such as Katrimer, Utigel, and Bulgar have been recorded as the Huns. These tribes were successively conquered and merged by the Avars and Magyars. Later, a country named Bolgar appeared in Europe. ThisThe legend of the nation can be traced back to the Baogar tribe of the Huns, and it is said that their earliest monarch was Attila’s son Erna.
However, the Bolgars are a branch of the Slavs and are far from the Huns in blood. Therefore, the explanation given by the experts is that the Baogar tribe was originally a small tribe of the Huns, but due to its sparse population and living in the Slavic region, it was gradually integrated by the Slavs and became a Slavic nation, which eventually became The ancestors of the Bulgarians. Experts said that Bulgaria and China are currently in a strategic partnership. Compared with its "ancestors" the Huns and the Han people, the relationship between the two countries is quite good.
Therefore, judging from the history of the continuous migration and integration of the Huns, the Huns in Europe have fully integrated into other different ethnic groups. And because of ethnic diversity, the ancestry can no longer be traced. But whether the Huns are the Huns or not, the historian has not yet reached a conclusion.
Conclusion
Because the Huns do not have their own words and history books. So it is very difficult for modern historians to trace its roots. In addition, in their long migration career, they have continued to integrate with surrounding tribes and other ethnic groups, and they have no habit of recording history, so that history is no longer known.
