The “Han” Civilization began at the Yellow in China

Sometimes it means “man” in Japanese due to the view that the Han chinese are “civilized men” rather than the common man. Before the “Han Golden Age” Chinese called the land “Huaxia” and the People Hua. Which is interestingly close to the Semetic root Asu and Aegean root Asis; roots theorized to be the origin of the name “Asia” but are otherwise unrelated.
