Jing nationality is an ancient nation with a long history. Tracing back to the source, her ancestors belonged to Nanyue State in Qin and Han Dynasties, and then to Jiaodi County, which had a certain blood relationship with Luo Yue. As far as the Jing people living in China today are concerned, their ancestors began to migrate from Tu Shan in northern Vietnam (now near Haiphong City) in the early16th century, with a history of less than 500 years.

From/kloc-at the beginning of the 6th century, Jing people moved in from Tu Shan and other places. They first lived in Zhaitou Village near Wushan Island and Jiangping Town, and then gradually developed to Wan Wei Island, Shanxin Island and Tanji. Jing people use Jing language, which is basically the same as Vietnamese. There are Mandarin (which is now Vietnamese) and Southern script (which is Vietnamese handed down from ancient times) in the scripts of Jing nationality, and Cantonese and Chinese are commonly used by Jing nationality.

From the linguistic point of view, the mother tongue of the Jing people is usually considered to belong to the South Asian language family, so the Jing people are generally considered to belong to the South Asian language family. Another view is that the Jing people are descendants of the Guloyue people, and then merged with the indigenous Zhan people and Khmer people in Indo-China Peninsula to form today's Jing people. Due to the long-term sinicization, Beijing culture is closer to China than Southeast Asia.
