Where have the Khitan people gone who were once brave and good at fighting? Why have they disappeared?

In fact, many Khitan people in the past have been assimilated by the Han people, and their original characteristics can no longer be seen from their bodies. Some Khitan people were wiped out in the war, so after the Song Dynasty There are no Khitans left.

The history of the Khitan is actually very long. They were present in the Tang Dynasty. The early Tang Dynasty was very powerful, so the Khitan bowed to the Tang Dynasty and paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year. However, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, due to the decline in national power of the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan slowly fell into the arms of the Turks. After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan reached a period of great development.

During the Song Dynasty, there were actually many countries in the Central Plains. During the Song Dynasty, the Khitan people established a country called the Liao Kingdom. Together with the Jin Kingdom, they almost formed a three-legged situation. Everyone knows the story of the Yang family generals. The enemy the Yang family generals fought against was the Liao Kingdom, which was the Khitan. In fact, the Khitan was really powerful at that time and almost unified the whole country.

However, the situation is changing, and no matter how powerful a country is, it will eventually perish. In the late Liao Kingdom, their emperors were incompetent, and a powerful country slowly declined. Some of their subordinates People also rebelled, and this group of people were the Jurchens. They gradually gained the upper hand in the war with the Liao Kingdom, and finally one day they defeated the Daliao Kingdom. The Daliao Kingdom fell into pieces and could no longer be a climate.

But even so, some of them escaped, thinking that one day they would be glorious again, but things didn't work out, and it was time for the Mongols to rise, and they established the Yuan Dynasty. A small number of people were wiped out at one time, and the Khitan disappeared in the long river of history. However, it can also be considered that the Jurchens are descendants of the Khitans.
