The origin of the Korean people

The Korean ethnic group is one of the cross-border ethnic groups in my country that gradually formed as the neighboring Korean Peninsula gradually moved into and settled in the Northeast. The 1982 national census found that as early as the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, some Korean ancestors had settled in North my country and Northeast China.

Since the mid-19th century, more Koreans have immigrated from the Korean Peninsula one after another, which is the main source of Koreans in China. Due to the brutal exploitation and oppression of the Korean feudal ruling class at that time.

Especially around 1869, northern Korea suffered several consecutive years of natural disasters. The hungry and cold Korean farmers left their homes one after another, crossed the Yalu River and the Tumen River and came to China. People of other ethnic groups live together in various places.
