The early China historian Li Feng says the Western Zhou bronze graph for Yí was "differentiated from rén 人 (human) by its kneeling gesture, clearly implying a population that was deemed a potential source of slaves or servants", thus meaning "foreign conquerable". Axel Schuessler hypothesizes an Old Chinese etymological development from * li 夷 "extend; expose; display; set out; spread out" to * lhi 尸 "to spread out; lie down flat (in order to sleep); motionless; to set forth (sacrificial dishes)", to "personator of

Shima Kunio's concordance of oracle inscriptions lists twenty occurrences of the script for 夷 or 尸, most frequently (6 times) in the compound zhishi 祉尸 "bless the personator; blessed personator". Michael Carr notes some contexts are ambiguous, but suggests, "Three compounds refer to 'barbarians' (in modern characters, fayi 伐夷 'attack barbarians', zhengyi 征夷 'punish barbarians', and yifang 夷方 'barbarian regions')." Oracle inscriptions record that Shang King Wu Ding (r. c. 1250–1192 BCE) made military expeditions on

2484-633: The Korean peninsula and Japanese Archipelago. Dongyi refers to different group of people in different periods.

2553-485: The Spring and Autumn period. At the same time, it continued to have a specific reference, denoting especially the Yi of the Huai River region, who constituted a recognized political entity. Paradoxically the Yi was considered the most 'civilized' of the non-Chinese peoples." It is not easy to determine people's times that a Classical Chinese document reflects. Literature describing a pre- Xia dynasty period does not use

2622-466: The Yangtse Delta at Wuhu . Wuhu Export Processing Zone was approved to be a national level export processing zone, with a total planned area of 2.95 km (1.14 sq mi).

Non-Mandarin dialects are spoken to the south of the Yangzi: dialects of Wu are spoken in Xuancheng prefecture-level city , though these are rapidly being replaced by Jianghuai Mandarin; dialects of Gan are spoken in

2829-470: The Yi under its control. The most notable example is the successful campaign against the Huaiyi and the Dongyi led by the Duke of Zhou . On the other hand, historian Huang Yang notes that in the Shang period, "the term Yi probably did not carry the sense of 'barbarian'. Rather it simply denoted one of the many tribes or regions that were the target of the Shang military campaigns ... Therefore, we see that

2898-404: The Yi were Austroasiatic speakers. Laurent Sagart (2008) instead suggested that the Yi languages were ancestral to Austronesian languages and formed a sister-group to Sino-Tibetan .

2967-553: The Yi, and King Di Xin (r. c. 1075–1046 BCE) waged a massive campaign against the Yifang 夷方 "barbarian regions".

The Zhou dynasty attempted to keep

After 1949, the government launched projects to repair the damages suffered during World War II. The province underwent significant development via

3105-468: The early 11th century BCE refer to campaigns by the late Shang king Di Yi against the Rénfāng ( 人方 ), a group occupying the area of southern Shandong and Jianghuai (northern Anhui and Jiangsu ). Many Chinese archaeologists apply the historical name "Dongyi" to the archaeological Yueshi culture (1900–1500 BCE). Other scholars, such as Fang Hui, consider this identification problematic because of

3174-437: The east were called [Yi]. They had their hair unbound and tattooed their bodies. Some of them ate their food without it being cooked. Those on the south were called Man. They tattooed their foreheads and had their feet turned in towards each other. Some of them (also) ate their food without it being cooked. Those on the west were called [Rong]. They had their hair unbound and wore skins. Some of them did not eat grain-food. Those on

There is significant regional disparity, where much of

3312-430: The ethnonym might have referred to a people living by the sea, When analyzing possible Austroasiatic loanwords into Old Chinese, Schuessler noticed that one layer of loanwords, from one or more Austroasiatic language(s) into Old Chinese spoken in the Yellow River basin, showed affinities to modern Khmeric and Khmuic languages , and occasionally to Monic . Earlier, Edwin G. Pulleyblank (1983, 1999) also proposed that

3381-457: The high frequency of migrations in prehistoric populations of the region. The Chinese word yí in Dōngyí has a long history and complex semantics.

However, yí was written in the earlier bronze script as

The historical linguist Xu Zhongshu explains this oracle character depicts either

3519-543: The most recent reconstruction, William H. Baxter and Laurent Sagart (2014) reconstruct the Old Chinese name of yí 夷 as * ləj . As Yuèjuèshū ( 越絕書 ) states that the Yue word for "sea" is also 夷 (* li → yí ), Sinologist Axel Schuessler proposes an Austroasiatic etymology for the ethnonym * li by comparing to Khmer ทะเล dhle "sea", from Pre-Angkorian Old Khmer ទន្លេ danle(y) "large expanse of water"; thus

In those five regions,
