  600~900 years ago is pre-modern, but it's well documented and hardly legend/mythical times. The PCA plot only note two genetic variations. You could easily find similar plot just between northern and southern Han. "Chinese was suggested to split away from Tibeto-Burman around 6 thousand years ago (kya) based on lexical evidence." This is consistent with the cliche of Chinese having 5000 years of history if we consider the formation of the Chinese language as a foundation for the nation. https://www.nature.com/articles/srep41195 https://www.nature.com/articles/srep41195
