2,500 B.C.

Around 4,500 years ago the Hmong lived in China's Hebei province, where their leader was the legendary warrior Chief Chiyou (Ciyou), and his people were many confederated tribes and they united were known as the Jiuli Tribe.

As Chinese population grew, they expanded southward into Hmong territory, where ten wars were fought between the two sides on the northwestern part of modern-day Beijing (Peking) , where the Hmong won nine battles but lost the tenth.

After so many battles fought against the Chinese, so many losses of lives, and after their defeat in the 10th battle, the Hmong took that as an omen to migrate southward into the lower reaches of the Yellow River where they re-established the San-Miao Kingdom led by Tao Tie and Huan Tuo.

The Hun's expanded their territory into the lands occupied by the Hmong about 2,200 B.C. and again the Hmong moved, leaving the Hun living in the Yellow River Valley.

2,354 B.C.

Approximately 2,354 B.C. : Tree growth ring studies confirm rare historical accounts of this time pointing to a worldwide ecological catastrophe, such as drought, famon, desperate migrations.

The causes may have been asteroid / comet impacts (or near-misses dusting the atmosphere) and / or large volcanic eruptions.

NOTE : Need for global defence is being discussed by Scientists also considering impact damage potentials and hazards.

2,200 B.C.

The Ta Mung people are mentioned in Chinese Annals, as early as 2200 B.C., as living in Szechuan Province, where the Hmong reside.

The Mung are described as belonging to the Ai-Lao race.

Following the battles, northwest of modern-day Beijing around 2,500 B.C., with the expanding empire of the Hun, the Hmong had moved southward into the lower reaches of the Yellow River where they re-established the San-Miao (You Miao, Miao Min) Kingdom led by Tao Tie and Huan Tuo.

For a long time, in these new lands, the San-Miao Kingdom competed with the Huangdi Tribe and Yandi Tribe, who were ancestors of the Hun people that moved southward from the upper reaches of the Yellow River, on the heals of the Hmong, who were then farming former Hmong lands.

But by 2200 B.C. the ancestors of the Huns again expanded their lands southward into the lands occupied by the Hmong and once again the San-Miao Kingdom was defeated, but this time the San-Miao peoples were almost exterminated.

The genocide to the San-Miao Kingdom was so disasterious, that for the few survivors to survive into the future they fled, spreading into small family groups living seperated in the mountains of south and southwest China's Hubei , Hunan, Jiangxi provinces, also living in the areas of Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake, where the Hmong people could never be united again, and be strong as their former San-Miao Kingdom.

Near the Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake areas, the Hmong migrating there were absorbed into or absorbed other tribes already there and formed the Chu Kingdom during the Eastern Zhou and Qin Dynasties.
