Talk:Di (Five Barbarians)

Tasks
The Di people play a part in the early account of the xiongnu or Huns. I think it should stay. Some very oratorical and highly enthusiastic prose on the topic has been commented out. Despite its non-encyclopedic style it probably covers much of the material that should be covered, which indicates a clean-up should be undertaken rather than starting over. First and foremost I think we should work from an outline. Just to work that up is a pretty good task for a research paper (not original research). Who would like to do a term paper or a mini-thesis here? The author of the commented-out material I believe has done some other articles on China- or China-related subjects but they all appear to be short on citations and written in the same sprawling style, which I would say is a cross between essay and poetry. In short, it needs to be encyclopedic with plenty of footnotes giving books and articles. Lots of those are reviewable on Google and on educational sites. I think articles on the history of China are a good idea. We westerners need some balance; not everything is Greece and Rome.Dave (talk) 12:09, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

More informations : no source
"The Di were eventually assimilated into the main Chinese and Tibetan populations. Genetic evidence of the Di can be found in a minority of people in Sichuan."

Hi. What is the source of this claim, please ? Can I have more informations on this question ?

Race and origin
Are Di people an ancestor of the Xirong, Quanrong and Shanrong? Chinese sources described them as Causosoid people. Dersere (talk) 03:05, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
