Han (people) : ウィキペディア英語版
Han Chinese

The Han Chinese are an ethnic group native to East Asia. They constitute approximately 92% of the population of Mainland China, 93% of the population of Hong Kong, 92% of the population of Macau, 98% of the population of Taiwan, 76.2% of the citizen population of Singapore, 24.5% of the population of Malaysia, and about 19% of the entire global human population, making them the largest ethnic group in the world. The Han Chinese are regarded as a subset of the Chinese nation (''Zhonghua minzu''). They sometimes refer to themselves as ''Yan Huang Zisun'', meaning the "descendants of (god-emperors) Yan and Huang".
== Terms and etymology ==
The name ''Han'' comes from the Han dynasty, which succeeded the short-lived Qin dynasty. The Han dynasty's founding emperor, Liu Bang (Emperor Gao), was originally known as the king of the region of Hanzhong after which the dynasty was named. The name Hanzhong, in turn, is derived from the Han River, which flows through the Hanzhong Plain (''zhong'' means middle).
Prior to the Han dynasty, Chinese scholars used the term as "Huaxia people" (華夏族, interpreted to mean "civilized society"), citing the ancient text description of China proper as an area of magnificent prosperity and culture. The Han Dynasty was considered a classical period in Chinese civilization, in that it was able to expand its power and influence over Central Asia, Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia. As a result of the Han dynasty's prominence, in inter-ethnic and inter-(premodern)-national matters, many Chinese began identifying themselves as "people of Han" (漢人), a name that has since been carried down.
In the English language, the Han are often referred to as simply "Chinese".
Among some southern Han Chinese, in varieties such as Cantonese, Hakka, Minnan and Teochew a different term exists – ''Tángrén'' (唐人, literally "the people of Tang"). This term is derived from a later Chinese dynasty, the Tang dynasty, regarded as another zenith of Chinese civilization. The term is used in everyday conversation and is also an element in the Cantonese word for Chinatown: 唐人街 (Jyutping: tong4 jan4 gaai1, pinyin: Tángrénjiē); literally meaning "Street of the people of Tang".
Another term commonly used by Overseas Chinese is ''Huaren'' (), derived from ''Zhonghua'' (), a literary name for China. The usual translation is "ethnic Chinese". The term refers to "Chinese" as a cultural and ethnic affiliation and is inclusive of both Chinese in China, and persons of Chinese descent residing abroad.
