Revisiting Historical Connections

Historical experts once denied a connection between the Huns and the Zhongnu due to limited evidence and the belief that it would be unlikely for a group to disappear and reappear in a different location. Recent studies present convincing arguments for this connection, with suggestive evidence like a Sogdian merchant using the word 'Hun' to describe the southern Zhongnu in a letter from the year 31380, indicating a potential link between the two groups.
