Xue Jiawan fortune-telling video lecture _ Xue Jiawan fortune-teller

Scholars have found that the lifestyle of Xue Jiawan people is very similar to that of Gypsies, and their women also look like Gypsies. Therefore, some people speculate that they are descendants of Gypsies. Yang, a historian in Tianjin, China, said that during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the Mongolian Empire occupied northern India, which made the gypsies living there migrate to the northwest of China. There is a record in yuan dynasty history that "Luo Hey (that is, Gypsies) and others are disturbing the people, and it is appropriate to cultivate land according to the law"; "Ming History" also records that "there were Luo Heihu in Taizhou (now Tianshui City) in the Ming Dynasty, but Han people did not intermarry and married themselves". All this shows that there were traces of gypsy life in northwest China at that time. Some scholars have pointed out that Xue Jiawan people are descendants of Miao people, and their ancestors are Miao people who were exiled to Dunhuang. Some scholars believe that the ancestors of Xue Jiawan people may be soldiers from China, Hunan and Hubei, who marched in the west and guarded the border. What exactly is the identity of Xue Jiawan people remains to be further studied.
