Xianbei migrations

The Xianbei were a nomadic people from northern China and Mongolia who migrated westward during the late Han Dynasty and subsequent centuries. Their movements were driven by pressures such as climate change, conflicts, and the search for better grazing lands. These migrations contributed to the spread of their culture and influence across Central Asia and into regions like Persia, affecting the development of early nomadic empires. Their movements played a significant role in shaping the political and cultural landscape of Eurasia during late antiquity, facilitating the mixing of peoples and cultures along the Silk Road routes.
