Aryans(雅利安人):
In Chinese, it is pronounced as: yǎ lì ān rén，Written as:

The term “Aryans” has a complex history and multiple meanings, varying significantly across different historical backgrounds and cultural contexts.
In the 19th century, linguists used the term “Aryan” to refer to a hypothetical ancient proto-Indo-European language and its speakers, who were thought to be an ancient group residing in the Central Asian region. This term originates from the Sanskrit word “Ārya,” meaning “noble” or “honorable,” and first appeared in the Vedic scriptures of India.
In ancient India and Iran, the word Ārya was used to describe groups speaking certain specific languages. In the Vedic Period literature of India, Ārya referred to those who followed the Vedic culture and religion. In ancient Persia, a similar term, “Airya,” was used to denote the ethnic group of the Persian Empire.
By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, European racists had distorted the term “Aryan” to support theories of racial superiority. They erroneously believed that Aryans were a superior “white race” with distinctive features. Subsequently, this concept was radicalized in Nazi Germany to support their racist ideology and policies, defining the Aryan race as Nordic whites and proclaiming their supremacy over all other races.
Modern linguists and anthropologists have abandoned the 19th century racial classifications, considering the categorization of “Aryans” as a race or ethnic group to be scientifically unfounded. Contemporary scholars tend to use “Indo-European” to refer to groups speaking Indo-European languages, avoiding the term “Aryan.”
Outside of academic and political contexts, the term “Aryan” is still used in the ideologies of some neo-Nazis and white supremacists, but such usage is erroneous and condemned. In certain cultural and linguistic contexts in India and Iran, the historical and cultural significance of Aryans is still discussed, but without the connotations of racial superiority.
In summary, the concept of “Aryans” has been subject to multiple misinterpretations and misuses, and the modern academic community has largely ceased to use the term to describe any race or ethnic group, focusing instead on its linguistic and historical-cultural significance.
