Traditional Xiongnu theory[edit] Debate about the Asian origin - TopicsExpress



          

Traditional Xiongnu theory[edit] Debate about the Asian origin of the Huns has been ongoing since the 18th century when Joseph de Guignes first suggested that the Huns should be identified as the Xiongnu of Chinese sources.[14] De Guignes focused on the genealogy of political entities and gave little attention to whether the Huns were the physical descendants of the Xiongnu.[15] Yet his idea, which emerged in the context of the ethnocentric and nationalistic scholarship of the late 18th and 19th centuries,[16]:52–54 gained traction and was modified over time to support Romantic nationalism and Turanism. wikipedia
