The Manchus People 满族 is the 3rd largest ethnic group with a population of 10.5 millions (about 10%). They have presents in 31 provinces but majority live in China northeast and Beijing, with Liaoning has the largest concentration (about 50%). There are many Manchu autonomous counties and over 300 townships. The Manchus are descended from the Jurchen people who earlier established the Jin Dynasty (1115–1234) in China. All Manchus followed Prince Dorgon and Shunzhi Emporor to China proper when they took over the sovereignty and settled down since. They eventually adopted the Chinese cultures and language.

During the ROC rule many Manchus hid their identities that presented themselves as Hans and not until the PRC rule they felt confident enough to reveal their true ethnicity. They were originally Lamaists but later adopted Chinese religions as well and today most of the Manhu are indistinguishable from the Hans physically and culturally through intermarriages.

The Eastern Qing Tombs 清東陵 are an imperial mausoleum complex of the Qing Dynasty located in Zunhua, 125 kilometers northeast of Beijing. They are the largest, most complete, and best preserved extant mausoleum complex in China. Altogether, 5 emperors (Shunzhi, Kangxi, Qianlong, Xianfeng, and Tongzhi), 15 empresses (including Cixi who defacto ruled China from 1861- 1908 behind the curtain), 136 imperial concubines, 3 princes, and 2 princesses of the Qing Dynasty were buried here. Surrounded by Changrui Mountain, Jinxing Mountain, Huanghua Mountain (where Huangyaguan 黄崖关 Great wall is located), and Yingfei Daoyang Mountain, the tomb complex stretches over a total area of 80 km2.

Manchus People 满族


The Manchu have been in China proper since 1644 and in northeastern China at least twice that long, given the small number of them in comparison and their willingness to assimilate with the Hans, their culture and their ways of live are all disappeared. Even for movie sets or for some ceremonial affairs, they probably have to rely on old pictures to make their traditional dresses.

Hui people 回族 has a population of about 10 millions (9% of the ethnic population minus the Hans), They are found throughout the country, though are concentrated mainly in the provinces of Ningxia, Qinghai, and Gansu and the majority of whom are Chinese-speaking practitioners of Islam, but some practice other religions as well. Although many Hui people are ethnically and culturally similar to Han Chinese, the group has retained some Persian and Central Asian features, but speak and write primary Chinese. Almost all Hui use Chinese names and study Confucius teachings.

The Hui people are of varied ancestry, and many are direct descendants of Silk Road travelers. Their ancestors include Central Asian, Arabs, and Persian who married Han Chinese. In the subsequent centuries, by gradually mixed with Mongols and Han Chinese, and the Hui people were formed. Chinese Hui are probably one of the most moderated and tolerated of all Muslims when it comes to religion. The current government of China defines a Hui as a Chinese speaker with foreign Muslim ancestry. Practicing the Islamic religion is not required.

Most Hui adopt Ha surnames in the forms of Ma for Mohammed, Ha for Hasan or Hu for Hussein for examples.
