National identity - Abstract
In 1995-1996, a white marble statue was discovered during the archaeological work of the Hanyuan Hall in Daming palace. Not much attention has been paid by historians to this statue due to its loss. Based on textual research on the land, grade, clothing and action of this white marble statue, this article infers that the white marble statue is a Hu person (ethnic minorities and foreigners in China) holding an animal figurine. The white marble statue indicates the significance of tribute. The figurine of a Hu person holding an animal corroborates the historical records of paying tribute in Hanyuan Hall in historical books.
