Abstract:
Di Qiang, Bai Yue and Bai Pu were the three great clans living within the boundaries of China in ancient times. They all contributed a lot to the formation and the development of the Chinese nation in the course of history. Of course, as the history developed, they had also been developing and evolving, merging and disintegrating. This article will briefly discuss the origin, deposits and changes of the three great clans: Di Qiang, Bai Yue and Bai Pu from the Pre-Qin days to the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
