The Qi people (Qi script: 齊人; Latin Huajiangite: qírén; Latin Guavai: tshihdëng) is a Serican ethnic group originating from the south of present-day Huajiang. They are the majority group in a number of Serican countries, including Huajiang and Guakok. Within Huajiang, they constitute 82.7% of the population, while in Guakok, they constitute about 79.4% of the total population. The term Qi as well as the character (齊) are traced back to the formation of the Qi Confederation.
The Qi people originates as a term for those who share a common ancestry correlating to any of the several tribes that inhabited the Di Peninsula of Serica that eventually became a part of the Qi Confederation. It is debated whether or not that this is applied to those who lived along the rivers that stemmed into the peninsula. The Qi people have been extant within both Huajiang and Guakok since prehistory. In the late first millennium BCE during the Qi Confederation's lifespan, a group of Qi people migrated to modern-day Guakok into Dai. After the migration, the Qi Confederation split between factions and dynasties, as the Western Migration began to split people up along cultural-linguistic lines.
The Qi script, used to write the various Qi languages as well some other languages of the region, originates with the ancient Qi and is one of the world's oldest writing systems. Qi Script is said to have originated from the Di Peninsula Bone Script, the earliest confirmed evidence of Qi Script, used mainly in mystical writing on animal bones.
Qi people share a genetic background, as before modernization, most Qi did not leave the continent of Serica. The Qi have, over time, mixed with their neighbours, such as the Dai peoples. This is also intertwined with cultural traditions and customs that are still observed in Guakok and western Huajiang.
