Were there blacks in ancient China?

Was China's first dynasty black?

Cover up the facts the original Chinese Li Min including the first three Dynasties of China were African !

There has be more covering up the fact even the original Chinese called Li Min and the Ainu of Japan were Africans also there are books written to prove these books correct. Namely The African Presence in Early Asia!

China's first dynasty and emperor

China's first dynasty and emperor founded by King Tang (or Ta) who was black. The earliest documented rulership of China was the Shang Dynasty (or Chang) c1500-1008 BC, which is credited with bringing together the elements of China's earliest civilization.

The ancient black royal house of China (1766-1100 BC) called the Chiang (Shang) contributed mightily to China's earliest known civilization. James E. Brunson's `Afrikan Presence in Early', and Joseph S. Rock, `The Ancient Naki Kingdom of South West China, all detail the presence of black in ancient China.

Who were the first Africans in China?

It was through this route that the first Black people, known as the “foreign blacks,” arrived in China. These foreigners came from various regions of East Africa, like Ethiopia and Somalia, and were mainly merchants .

Blacks in Asia

China's first dynasty and emperor founded by King Tang (or Ta) who was black. The earliest documented rulership of China was the Shang Dynasty (or Chang) c1500-1008 BC, which is credited with bringing together the elements of China's earliest civilization. The Shang was given the name Nakhi (Na-Black, khi-Man) under the Black dynasty.

The black Chinese established the basic forms of graceful calligraphy that has lasted to the present day. The first Chinese emperor, the legendary Fu-his (2953-2383 BC), was without doubt black and his African brothers and sisters established government, social institutions and cultural inventions.

They are credited with the creation of the I Ching, or the `Book of Change' which is oldest most revered system of prophesy. It is known to have influenced the most distinguished philosophers of Chinese thought. These Afrikan offspring were responsible for the building of China's earth mounds pyramids, which are today mistaken for hills due to their eroded appearance in size. The pyramids in Japan are not made of stone indigenous to Japan. It is said that small black people built them during the Mu civilization.

In later ages they were responsible in 210 BC for constructing an elaborate tomb for Qin Shi-Huaangi, his body is guarded by an army of soldiers warriors, made out of Terracotta. They are also credited with the building of the Great Wall of China.

Quoting the works of Kwang-Chih Chang for the `The Archaeology of Ancient China' by Irwin Graham, in `Afrikan Abroad'-R Rashidi makes these two points.

There is evidence of substantial population of Blacks in early China. Archaeological studies have located a black substratum in earliest Chinese history, and report of Major Kingdoms ruled by blacks are frequent in "Chinese documents" Nile Valley civilization " In the earliest Chinese history, several text in classical books spoke of these diminutive blacks; the ToHeu-Li composed under the dynasty of Teheu (1122-249BC) give description of the inhabitants with black features.

Chinese folklore speak often of these blacks and mention an emperor of China named Li (373-397) consort of the emperor Hsiao Wu Wen who is spoken of as being black Afrikan, and kingdom of diminutive blacks in the south west of China.

The sacred manchu dynasty shows a great strain of black people. Emperor Pu-yi of Manchikuo, direct descendants of the Manchu ruler of China is most distinctly black. "Chinese Chronicle reports that a black empire existed in the south of China at the beginning of the country's history".

Cheikh Anta Diop, 'Afrikan Origin of civilization'. The ancient black royal house of China (1766-1100 BC) called the Chiang (Shang) contributed mightily to China's earliest known civilization.

James E. Brunson's `Afrikan Presence in Early', and Joseph S. Rock, `The Ancient Naki Kingdom of South West China, all detail the presence of black in ancient China. ly Asia!Here is my proof the original Chinese/Asians of China were African/Li Min!

Black people have played an important role in China's cultural and economic history.

China has a long and complex history that is full of cultural exchange and migration. While most people are aware of China’s rich history of interaction with other Asian cultures, few know about its history with African cultures. In fact, in recent years, historians have found more evidence about the rich history of the first Black people in China.

The first recorded presence of Black people in China dates back to the Tang dynasty (618-907 AD), according to Black Past. During this time, the Silk Road was a major trade route that connected China to the rest of the world. It was through this route that the first Black people, known as the “foreign blacks,” arrived in China. These foreigners came from various regions of East Africa, like Ethiopia and Somalia, and were mainly merchants .

The foreign blacks were considered a curiosity by the Chinese, who had never seen people with dark skin before. Locals would call the merchant Africans Kunlun or “dark-skinned.” They were often depicted in Chinese art and literature as exotic and foreign. However, they were also discriminated against and faced many challenges, including language barriers and social exclusion.

Despite the challenges, some Black people were able to establish themselves in Chinese society. East African merchant Zhengjiani was praised throughout the country for his lucrative trade deals and business skills. The bustling businessman and his crew were honored as the first African foreign merchants to conduct trade with Chinese emperor Shenzong between 1067 and 1085. The famous emperor dubbed Zhengjiani the “Lord Guardian of Prosperity.”

The Ming dynasty (1368-1644 AD) also saw the arrival of another group of Black people in China. This group was made up of former slaves and soldiers who had been brought to Macau by the Portuguese to trade with the Chinese, according to Cornell Press. These Black people, known as the “Portuguese slaves,” were assigned as “galleys in the trading ships that sailed from Macao to Portugal’s posts in India and Japan; they were also employed in private households or at Jesuit missions in southern China,” the site notes. Some served under private Chinese forces and few managed to escape, later becoming pirates.

After slavery was abolished in 1878, a large majority of the African migrants from Mozambique, Guinea and Angola continued to arrive in Macau, where they served in the Portuguese colonial army as soldiers. They were eventually freed and allowed to settle in China, where they established a community in Guangzhou.

Despite the presence of Black people in China for centuries, their history and contributions have been largely overlooked. It is only in recent years that scholars and researchers have begun to study and document the experiences of Black people in China.

But Black people have played an important role in China’s cultural and economic history. While their contributions have often been overlooked, it is important to recognize and celebrate their place in China’s rich history.

Is it true Ancient China used to be full of black people?

One of China’s leading geneticists, Professor Jin Li, of Fudan University, Shanghai set out to prove that the Chinese evolved independently from everyone else.. from Asian Homo Erectus.

Jin Li (Born 1963) is a Chinese geneticist and the vice-president of Fudan University. Jin is a professor at the National Human Genome Center and Fudan's Institute of Genetics, both in Shanghai. He is the principal investigator of East Asian populations for the Genographic Project which collects DNA samples to map historical human migration patterns around the world.

Are Chinese descendants of an African Eve?

Professor Jin published first his research in 2001, but he was not the first to reach essentially the similar conclusions. In 1987 the New Zealander Allan Charles Wilson and Rebecca Cann published a study of mitochondrial DNA that supported the "African Eve" theory – that all human beings living today are descendents of a single woman who lived in Africa around 200,000 years ago.

According to Wilson and Cann descendents of this "African Eve" migrated around the world and later evolved into the different varieties of modern humans.

Since then more and more genetic evidence has accumulated, all supporting the view that modern humans, including Chinese people, originated from a single population in Africa. In 1998, Chinese scientist Chu Jiayou and his team analyzed the DNA microsatellites (also known as simple sequence repeats) of northern and southern Chinese, both those of Han and ethnic minorities.

Chu concluded that the ancestors of the modern Chinese had migrated to China from Africa via South Asia. No new mutation was found. The results coincided with findings in other parts of the world, that is, M168 displayed no new mutations in China. The result proved that Chinese people must have come from Africa, along with all other modern humans. But Jin Li's research also supported the African origin theory from another perspective, which was beyond their original expectations.

Professor Jin Li maintains that late Homo sapiens from all over the world, including China, had common ancestors, that is, migrating Africans, who arrived in China 60,000 years ago.
