Hmong people’s ancestors can be traced back to Chiyou, one of the three tribal leaders who were recorded in the grand historian. Hmong appeared about two thousand years earlier than Han, which is contradictory to the current communist regime’s narrative for Han people dominating the entire Chinese history. Sanxingdui excavations in Sichuan province proved that ancient civilizations could trace back to Sumerian times.

Historically, Hmong is as Chinese as it come. They are the direct descendants of the legendary Fire (Flame) Emperor and Chiyou. The Fire emperor is the leader of the first tribe who used fire, farming and medicine. Later, they lost the first major military conflict in ancient Chinese history where the first compass was invented and used in battlefield by the Yellow emperor. After the defeat, they broke up and exiled for the next five thousands year, part of this group exiled to the west, and the part that moved south are the ancestors of Hmong. The major part stayed and combined with the Yellow Emperor's tribe. To honor this, Han Chinese called themselves the descendants of Yan Huang 炎黄子孙 (Yan: Fire . Huang: Yellow).

No matter which nation, tribe, or ethnic group, as long as your ancestors have left their footprints in the Central Kingdom, you can always touch their culture and read their stories by combing through piles of books written in Chinese characters. Never forget to teach your children and grandchildren Chinese language, which is the bloodline that connects your family to this vast land. As long as they can speak and read Chinese, they will have 5,000 years of civilization as their backing and 1.4 billion people as their compatriots.

My family tree isn't too far from China. From what I know, I was born in Thailand, my parents were born in laos, my grandparents were born in Vietnam, and my great grandparents were born in China.

The ancient homeland of ALL HMONG/MIAO is in Mainland China ie HuaXia/Central Plains between Yellow River, Yangtze River and Pearl River. In short, all Hmongs are the people of China.❤❤❤❤❤

Hmong are another group of Chinese, the only difference is that the Han under the last Qing drove them into the mountains of south China and out of China. The Hmong were the last group of Chinese to fight against the Qing Dynasty before the Han finally rid themselves of the Manchus and Japanese.

Not all miao are Hmong..Hmong is just a subgroup of Miao.

My great great grand father was born in from Longling area but in 1820 to then Laos that they've considered wild country side who own by nobody, and we still believe Beijing- China was a place that there a stair drop from Heaven down to Earth for the Death to use it for ascent to the Heaven. Hmong all still do this ritual when death occurring in America

If Hmong Americans genuinely want to explore their ancestral origins and heritage, visiting the Guangxi region in southern China may provide valuable insights and a deeper connection to their roots.

I am happy to be a Hmong person.

Thank you, Yanyan, for sharing the beauty and history of Hmong village.

Thanks for sharing Yanyan.

多谢啊， 我去过四川兴文县，那里也有我们苗族的 “走亲节“ it may be a good place for the next stop in your exploration of the Hmong journey. Also, fenghua, not many people know why xiangxi and Shen Congwen played such an important role in global Hmong narratives.
