🏮 ДУНГАНЕ: Как восстание против империи Цин лишило их родины, но не веры | История народов

The Dungans are a unique people whose ethnogenesis began at the busy crossroads of the Great Silk Road, and whose fate is full of dramatic upheavals. Today, this ethnoreligious group lives in Central Asia, primarily in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan, practicing Sunni Islam. The main paradox of this people is that they speak an ancient dialect of Chinese, but write their speech in ordinary Russian letters, using the Cyrillic alphabet. ❓ How did Chinese Muslims end up in Central Asia, and why do they use the Russian alphabet instead of traditional hieroglyphs? ❓ What price did the Biyanhu people pay during the deadly winter trek through the icy mountain passes of Torugart and Bedel? ❓ Why are modern Chinese amazed when they hear the Dungans speak, calling it a preserved time capsule of the Qing Dynasty? ❓ What heroic deed did Hero of the Soviet Union Mansuz Vanakhun accomplish during the brutal battles at Kursk? 👇 If you were touched by this dramatic story of survival and the preservation of national identity, please support our channel with a like and a subscription.
