Blacks in Asia

China’s first dynasty and emperor founded by King Tang (or Ta) who was black. The earliest documented rulership of China was the Shang Dynasty (or Chang) c1500-1008 BC, which is credited with bringing together the elements of China’s earliest civilization. The Shang was given the name Nakhi (Na-Black, khi-Man) under the Black dynasty. The black Chinese established the basic forms of graceful calligraphy that has lasted to the present day. The first Chinese emperor, the legendary Fu-his (2953-2383 BC), was without doubt black and his African brothers and sisters established government, social institutions and cultural inventions.

They are credited with the creation of the I Ching, or the ‘Book of Change’ which is oldest most revered system of prophesy. It is know to have influenced the most distinguished philosophers of Chinese thought. These Afrikan offspring were responsible for the building of China’s earth mounds pyramids, which are today mistaken for hills due to their eroded appearance in size. The pyramids in Japan are not made of stone indigenous to Japan. It is said that small black people built them during the Mu civilization.

In later ages they were responsible in 210 BC for constructing an elaborate tomb for Qin Shi-Huaangi, his body is guarded by an army of soldiers warriors, made out of Terracotta. They are also credited with the building of the Great Wall of China.

Archaeological studies have located a black substratum in earliest Chinese history, and report of Major Kingdoms ruled by blacks are frequent in “Chinese documents” Nile Valley civilization “ In the earliest Chinese history, several text in classical books spoke of these diminutive blacks; the ToHeu-Li composed under the dynasty of Teheu (1122-249BC) give description of the inhabitants with black features.

Chinese folklore speak often of these blacks and mention an emperor of China named Li (373-397) consort of the emperor Hsiao Wu Wen who is spoken of as being black Afrikan, and kingdom of diminutive blacks in the south west of China.

The sacred manchu dynasty shows a great strain of black people. Emperor Pu-yi of Manchikuo, direct descendants of the Manchu ruler of China is most distinctly black. “Chinese Chronicle reports that a black empire existed in the south of China at the beginning of the country’s history”.

Cheikh Anta Diop, 'Afrikan Origin of civilization'. The ancient black royal house of China (1766-1100 BC) called the Chiang (Shang) contributed mightily to China’s earliest known civilization.

James E. Brunson’s ‘Afrikan Presence in Early’, and Joseph S. Rock, ‘The Ancient Naki Kingdom of South West China, all detail the presence of black in ancient China.
