Manchu population is distributed all over the country, with Liaoning, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Beijing and other provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government as the majority, while others are scattered in Xinjiang, Gansu, Ningxia, Shandong, Hubei, Guizhou and other large and medium-sized cities such as Xi, Chengdu, Guangzhou and Fuzhou.
Manchu is a hardworking, brave and intelligent nation, and it is also a nation that is good at absorbing foreign cultures and integrating innovation. In the long-term historical development, a custom culture with national characteristics has been formed. The customs of Manchu people at the age of 20 are mostly similar to those of Han people, but they maintain many Manchu characteristics.

Manchu has its own language and writing. Manchu belongs to Manchu branch of Manchu-Tungusic language family of Altai language family. During the Song and Jin Dynasties, Jurchen once had her own writing. The early Jurchen characters are syllabic characters derived from Chinese characters, but they have long been lost. At the end of 16, after Nurhachi unified the ministries in Northeast China, Manchu pronunciation was spelled with Mongolian letters, forming a new script called "Old Manchu".
By the 1980s, Manchu had disappeared, except for some remote areas in the northeast and a few Xibe elderly people in Xinjiang. However, as a widely used language, Manchu has left a deep impression on Chinese dialects in many places. Today, there are still a large number of Manchu phonetics and vocabulary in Chinese in Northeast China and Beijing.
Manchu people call their surnames Hala, which is rich and complex and full of national cultural characteristics. At first, Ahala was a Mukun (family). Later, with the population doubling, the family branch was stationed in other places, and the original Mukun divided into several new Mukun. Generally, there is only one hala for a wooden Kun, but there are also cases where several wooden Kun belong to the same hala.
According to historical records, there are more than 600 Manchu surnames, second only to the Han nationality in China. Like other nationalities with a long history, the origin of Manchu surnames can be traced back to the ancient totem worship, but as far as the later development is concerned, there are mainly two surnames: ju surnames and tribal surnames.
The food of Manchu-Han banquet is also very distinctive, and it has always been said that Manchu-Han banquet. Nothing can better represent the blending of Manchu and Han food cultures than "Manchu-Han banquet". The selection, preparation and eating methods of its dishes all maintain Manchu characteristics, among which Hericium erinaceus, bear's paw, ginseng, velvet antler and other delicacies mostly come from the northeast.
It is a fine blend of Manchu and China cuisine. It was formed during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and spread for more than 200 years. There are more than 100 dishes in Yangzhou "Man-Han Banquet" recorded in Yangzhou Picture Book from Qianlong to Qianlong. In daily life, Manchu folk also have many flavor snacks, and there are many kinds of snacks.
I like to eat millet, yellow rice and yellow rice cake (tofu), and I eat "Ajige cake" (jiaozi) every holiday. On Chinese New Year's Eve, we eat boiled pork, roasted pork and cakes which are unique to Manchu people for dinner. Today, jiaozi, hot pot, sauerkraut and Beijing-style cakes in northern China are closely related to Manchu food culture.
