Sibe Nationality

Sibe people is an ancient ethnic group with a long history among China's ethnic minorities. Xibo nationality originally lived in Northeast China. During the reign of Qianlong, the Qing government recruited some Xibo nationality to move west to Xinjiang to enrich the local population. Today, most of the Xibo people live in Liaoning Province (70.2%) and Xinjiang Chabuchar Xibo Autonomous County, Huocheng, Gongliu and other counties. They are scattered in Shenyang, Donggang, Kaiyuan, Yixian, Beizhen, Xinmin, Fengcheng, Fuyu, Eastern Inner Mongolia and Nenjiang River Basin of Heilongjiang Province.

Xibo language belongs to the Manchu branch of man Tungusic language family of Altai language family. It is a language developed on the basis of Manchu, which is very close to Manchu. Xibo language was slightly changed on the basis of Manchu language in 1947. The Xibo Nationality in Xinjiang still maintains its own language and writing, and uses Chinese, Uyghur and Kazakh. Xibo Nationality in Northeast China is different from Han nationality in language, food, clothing, residence and so on.
