Andite Expansion in the Orient

79:6.1Some­time af­ter driv­ing the red man across to North Amer­ica, the ex­pand­ing Chi­nese cleared the An­don­ites from the river val­leys of east­ern Asia, push­ing them north into Siberia and west into Tur­kes­tan, where they were soon to come in con­tact with the su­pe­rior cul­ture of the And­ites.

79:6.2In Burma and the penin­sula of Indo-China the cul­tures of In­dia and China mixed and blended to pro­duce the suc­ces­sive civ­i­liza­tions of those re­gions. Here the van­ished green race has per­sisted in larger pro­por­tion than any­where else in the world.

79:6.3Many dif­fer­ent races oc­cu­pied the is­lands of the Pa­cific. In gen­eral, the south­ern and then more ex­ten­sive is­lands were oc­cu­pied by peo­ples car­ry­ing a heavy per­cent­age of green and in­digo blood. The north­ern is­lands were held by An­don­ites and, later on, by races em­brac­ing large pro­por­tions of the yel­low and red stocks. The an­ces­tors of the Japanese peo­ple were not driven off the main­land un­til 12,000 B.C., when they were dis­lodged by a pow­er­ful south­ern-coast­wise thrust of the north­ern Chi­nese tribes. Their fi­nal ex­o­dus was not so much due to pop­u­la­tion pres­sure as to the ini­tia­tive of a chief­tain whom they came to re­gard as a di­vine per­son­age.

79:6.4Like the peo­ples of In­dia and the Lev­ant, vic­to­ri­ous tribes of the yel­low man es­tab­lished their ear­li­est cen­ters along the coast and up the rivers. The coastal set­tle­ments fared poorly in later years as the in­creas­ing floods and the shift­ing courses of the rivers made the low­land cities un­ten­able.

79:6.5Twenty thou­sand years ago the an­ces­tors of the Chi­nese had built up a dozen strong cen­ters of prim­i­tive cul­ture and learn­ing, es­pe­cially along the Yel­low River and the Yangtze. And now these cen­ters be­gan to be re­in­forced by the ar­rival of a steady stream of su­pe­rior blended peo­ples from Sinkiang and Ti­bet. The mi­gra­tion from Ti­bet to the Yangtze val­ley was not so ex­ten­sive as in the north, nei­ther were the Ti­betan cen­ters so ad­vanced as those of the Tarim basin. But both move­ments car­ried a cer­tain amount of And­ite blood east­ward to the river set­tle­ments.

79:6.6The su­pe­ri­or­ity of the an­cient yel­low race was due to four great fac­tors:

79:6.71. Ge­netic. Un­like their blue cousins in Eu­rope, both the red and yel­low races had largely es­caped mix­ture with de­based hu­man stocks. The north­ern Chi­nese, al­ready strength­ened by small amounts of the su­pe­rior red and An­donic strains, were soon to ben­e­fit by a con­sid­er­able in­flux of And­ite blood. The south­ern Chi­nese did not fare so well in this re­gard, and they had long suf­fered from ab­sorp­tion of the green race, while later on they were to be fur­ther weak­ened by the in­fil­tra­tion of the swarms of in­fe­rior peo­ples crowded out of In­dia by the Dra­vid­ian-And­ite in­va­sion. And to­day in China there is a def­i­nite dif­fer­ence be­tween the north­ern and south­ern races.

79:6.82. So­cial. The yel­low race early learned the value of peace among them­selves. Their in­ter­nal peace­able­ness so con­tributed to pop­u­la­tion in­crease as to in­sure the spread of their civ­i­liza­tion among many mil­lions. From 25,000 to 5000 B.C. the high­est mass civ­i­liza­tion on Uran­tia was in cen­tral and north­ern China. The yel­low man was first to achieve a racial sol­i­dar­ity—the first to at­tain a large-scale cul­tural, so­cial, and po­lit­i­cal civ­i­liza­tion.

79:6.9The Chi­nese of 15,000 B.C. were ag­gres­sive mil­i­tarists; they had not been weak­ened by an over­rev­er­ence for the past, and num­ber­ing less than twelve mil­lion, they formed a com­pact body speak­ing a com­mon lan­guage. Dur­ing this age they built up a real na­tion, much more united and ho­mo­ge­neous than their po­lit­i­cal unions of his­toric times.

79:6.103. Spir­i­tual. Dur­ing the age of And­ite mi­gra­tions the Chi­nese were among the more spir­i­tual peo­ples of earth. Long ad­her­ence to the wor­ship of the One Truth pro­claimed by Singlang­ton kept them ahead of most of the other races. The stim­u­lus of a pro­gres­sive and ad­vanced re­li­gion is of­ten a de­ci­sive fac­tor in cul­tural de­vel­op­ment; as In­dia lan­guished, so China forged ahead un­der the in­vig­o­rat­ing stim­u­lus of a re­li­gion in which truth was en­shrined as the su­preme De­ity.

79:6.11This wor­ship of truth was provoca­tive of re­search and fear­less ex­plo­ration of the laws of na­ture and the po­ten­tials of man­kind. The Chi­nese of even six thou­sand years ago were still keen stu­dents and ag­gres­sive in their pur­suit of truth.

79:6.124. Ge­o­graphic. China is pro­tected by the moun­tains to the west and the Pa­cific to the east. Only in the north is the way open to at­tack, and from the days of the red man to the com­ing of the later de­scen­dants of the And­ites, the north was not oc­cu­pied by any ag­gres­sive race.

79:6.13And but for the moun­tain bar­ri­ers and the later de­cline in spir­i­tual cul­ture, the yel­low race un­doubt­edly would have at­tracted to it­self the larger part of the And­ite mi­gra­tions from Tur­kes­tan and un­ques­tion­ably would have quickly dom­i­nated world civ­i­liza­tion.
