| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
During the Southern and the Northern Dynasties period in China, the north was ruled mostly by non-Chinese clans such as the Xianbei, and the south, by the Han Chinese. However, after the reformation by the Northern Wei Emperor Xiaowen at the end of 5th century, the non-Chinese in the north were gradually sinicized, which also led to change in their ethnic identity . This resulted in the establishment of Sui-Tang dynasties in the 7th century by the Yang and the Li family who both claimed to be Han Chinese, which made a big impact in east Asia.
This study analyzed the stages of ethnic identity transition of the non-Chinese in order to further understand the changes that occurred between the Southern and the Northern dynasties and the Sui-Tang period. As the result, it became clear that for many of the Xianbei bureaucrats during later half of the Northern dynasties, their ethnic identity wavered between non-Chinese and Han Chinese, which led to their choosing diverse paths.
