| Summary: | Among all the ethnic groups living within China's borders, the Qiang (羌) have one of the longest histories. As early as the Yin-Shang (殷商) dynasty, inscriptions on bones and tortoise shells refer to the activities of the Qiang people. During the Zhou-Qin (周秦) dynastic period the Qiang resided along the He (Gansu), Huang (Qinghai), Tao (Gansu), and Min (Sichuan) rivers. As the Qin (秦) imperial court grew strong, the majority of the Qiang were compelled to live among the Han-dominated population. |
