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 common ancestry that correlates to any of the several tribes that inhabited the Di Peninsula of Serica that eventually became apart 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 in prehistory before written history. Around late first millennium BCE during the Qi Confederation's lifespan, a group of Qi people migrated to modern day Guahok into Dai. After the migration, the Qi Confederation split between factions and dynasties, as the Western Migration began to split people up between their languages.
Qi Script is also of Qi origin as many of the characters used in Traditional Qi Script originate from scripts found in Qi territory. Qi Script is said to have originated from the Di Peninsula Bone Script, the earliest confirmed evidence of Qi Script being used.
Qi people have common and normally shared genes, as before modernization, most Qi did not leave the continent of Serica. This is also intertwined with cultural traditions and customs that are still observed in Guakok and Western Huajiang.
