Where do I come from? At any time, the Chinese nation is full of

curiosity about its origin. Chinese people always have special

feelings for tracing the origin, which is the most important part of

the family tree. The first thing to do is to understand the origin of

your family. The Chinese family tree is a series of scattered family

history. From ancient times to modern times, China has experienced

six waves of large-scale population migration. Every migration is

related to war.

For the first time, it was called "Yiguan Nandu".

From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the period of the Wei,

Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the nomadic peoples from the

north moved into the interior and mixed with the Han people. By the

end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the north was in chaos, and the Han

people in the north moved south one after another and migrated to

the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. According to

research by historians, there were more than 700,000 people from

the Central Plains who moved to the south at that time.

In the second An-Shi Rebellion, northern residents went south to

escape the war.

The third time was from the end of the Northern Song Dynasty to

the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Jin Kingdom established by the Jurchen people occupied the

central and northern parts of mainland China, and a large number of

people moved to the south of the Yangtze River with the retreating

rulers.

The three migrations of people from the north to the south made

the Jiangnan region replace the Central Plains and become the most

economically and culturally developed region in China.

At the same time, the northern nations continued to enter North

China, Central China, and even Jiangnan in the form of naturalized or

conquerors.

The rulers of the Han nation-state, on the other hand, constantly

mobilized soldiers and residents to land worthy of development, or

frontiers that needed to be guarded.

In Chinese historical records, these words are inexhaustible.

Every time it appears, it means a large or small, officially initiated

immigration.

The fourth time, the great immigration from Shanxi in the early

Ming Dynasty.

According to official historical records, before this migration, due

to years of wars and slaughter and the migration of people from the

north to the south, the population of the north dropped from 40% of

the total number of households in the country to less than 15%, and

thousands of miles of fertile soil turned into ruins. The economy of

northern China was in decline, while the south of the Yangtze River

was overcrowded. For example, Yangzhou, the once most

prosperous city north of the Yangtze River, had only 18 families left

when Zhu Yuanzhang's army occupied it. As the ruler, Zhu

Yuanzhang had to launch a massive emigration, ordering his people

and soldiers to go to sparsely populated areas to cultivate and

defend. The scale of this immigration is unprecedented. According

to the "Concise History of Chinese Immigration", in the early Ming

Dynasty, there were 7 million immigrants in the Yangtze River Basin.

There were 4.9 million immigrants in North China and 1.5 million in

the northwest, northeast and southwest frontiers, totaling 13.4

million. It accounted for almost 20% of the total population of the

country at that time. Among northern folks, the iconic memory of

this great immigration is a large locust tree. In Shandong, Henan,

and Hebei regions, there are still folk songs: "Ask where my

ancestors came from, the big locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi. What

is the name of the ancestor's former residence, the old stork's nest

on the big locust tree." This big locust tree is located in Hongdong,

Linfen City. The north of Dongxian County is said to be the ancient

Chinese scholar tree in the Han Dynasty.

Although Shanxi is in the north, it is blocked by terrain and less

wars. The population is far denser than the ravaged North China

Plain. Shanxi has less land and is not enough to support too many

people. In the early Ming Dynasty, a large number of people from

Shanxi were migrated to Hebei, Henan, Shandong and

Shaanxi-Gansu areas, and the southernmost reached the Huaihe

River Basin. Migrants from the south of Shanxi often pass through

Hongdong County, Shanxi, and stop there for a while. According to

records, in the Ming Dynasty, there was a Guangji Temple on the

west side of Beijia Village in Hongdong City. The temple was huge

and there were many monks. There is an ancient Chinese locust tree

next to the temple, "the tree is surrounded by several circles and

shades several acres", and the avenue of carriages and horses passes

under the shade of the tree. Flocks of crows build their nests in the

trees, scattered all over the place. The government of the Ming

Dynasty set up a bureau in Guangji Temple to handle immigration in

a centralized manner, and under the big locust tree became a

gathering place for immigrants. Such a majestic big locust tree has

become the deepest memory of the migrants' trek. When these

immigrants arrived at their new settlements, they told their

descendants where they came from, but after a long time, the names

of the villages in Shanxi were lost in legends. Their descendants can

no longer trace back to their earlier hometowns, so the ancestors

once stayed under the big locust tree, which became the end of the

search for roots and ancestors.

For the fifth time, Huguang filled Sichuan. In the second year of

Emperor Kangxi (1663), Zhang Dedi, the governor of Shuntian

Prefecture, was promoted to governor of Sichuan. In Sichuan at this

time, there were only a few hundred in the city of Chongqing, and

the residents of the prefectures and counties often only had dozens

or even a dozen, and some even had only one or two households.

The population is sparse, one of the results is that tigers are rampant

in Sichuan. During the Shunzhi period, more than 500 people were

recruited to settle in Nanchong County, and 228 people were eaten

by tigers. Teacher Tan's Geography Studio made a comprehensive

arrangement. Faced with such a mess, Zhang De asked to immigrate

to Sichuan. At that time, when immigrating to Sichuan, the reward

was quite attractive: immigrating to Sichuan, no land tax was

required for five years. After the San Francisco rebellion subsided,

the Qing government announced that immigrants who entered

Sichuan could be naturalized and eligible for imperial examinations.

For a couple, give 30 acres of paddy fields, or 50 acres of dry land,

and have a son who can work as a laborer for Ding Zhuang, plus

another 4 acres. Twelve taels of silver are given to each household as

the cost of purchasing property for settlement. As a result,

immigrants flocked here, and that massive immigration was called

"Huguang fills Sichuan". Residents from Hubei and Hunan moved up

the river and entered eastern Sichuan; people from Guangdong

entered the western and southern parts of the Sichuan Basin in large

numbers, bringing Hakka dialect to Sichuan. In addition, there are

immigrants from Fujian, Jiangxi and Guangxi. Using their neighbors

and relatives as ties, they formed a team of hundreds of people to

travel to unknown places. At the same time, the people of Huguang

continued to go north, entering the southern part of Shaanxi, which

is adjacent to Sichuan.

The sixth time, "Crossing the Guandong", "Going to the West Exit"

and "Going to Nanyang".

In modern times, there were still three waves of immigration in

China, which people used to call "Crossing the Guandong East",

"Going to the West Exit" and "Going to the South Seas". Different

from "Huguang fills Sichuan", these three resettlement are all

spontaneous.

1. "Crossing Guandong"

Guan is Shanhaiguan; Guandong is today's three northeastern

provinces.

During the Kangxi period, the Northeast was banned, and Han

people were not allowed to enter the "Land of Longxing" for

cultivation and mining. By the end of Xianfeng, the more than

200-year-old ban policy was lifted, and immigrants were encouraged

to reclaim wasteland, and immigrants from the customs began to

enter the Northeast in large numbers. After arriving in the Republic

of China, the tide of immigration to the east of the Guandong

became more and more high. Every year, hundreds of thousands of

people moved outside the customs. At the peak, millions of

residents from Hebei and Shandong moved to the northeast with

their families every year. In the whole tide of breaking through the

Guandong East, as many as 37 million residents of North China

migrated to the northeast, and the three northeastern provinces

have become the areas with the largest immigrant population in

China.

2. "Go West Exit"

When the population in North China crossed the Bohai Sea and

passed through Shanhaiguan. Residents in northern Shanxi were

trapped in frequent droughts and barren land, and were forced to

climb over the Great Wall and head towards what is today Inner

Mongolia in search of a way out. That is, "go west". The exact

location of "West Exit" in "Go West Exit" has always been different.

The current mainstream view is that the earliest "West Gate" refers

to the "West Gate" of the Yellow River Ferry. Shanxi Errentai's

"Walking to the West Mouth" clearly stated that the route of taking

the west mouth, the river bends in the northwest of Shanxi and other

places cross the "Xikou" of the Yellow River, from the Fugu (ancient

city) in northern Shaanxi to Inner Mongolia. Later, "Xikou" refers to

the mouth of the Great Wall. Due to the huge and complicated

crowds "going to the west entrance", for people in different regions,

the exact meaning of "Xikou" in their minds is actually different.

In a nutshell, "Xikou" actually also refers to various passages and

passes from all parts of Qin and Jin Dynasties to Inner Mongolia.

3. "Go to Nanyang"

Most of the people who "go to the South China Sea" are residents

of Fujian and Guangdong.

It is recorded in "Yinghuan Zhilue", "The people of Fujian and

Guangxi build boats and go to sea, and they rush to it. There are

people who buy fields and marry women, but stay and do not return,

such as Luzon and Kalopa (Java) islands. , no less than hundreds of

thousands." These areas were roughly in the northern part of what is

now the Philippine archipelago.

This group of immigrants to the ocean also became the first group

of Chinese with modern thinking. Since the late Qing Dynasty,

outstanding people among the Nanyang Chinese have continuously

fed back to the mainland. He started the first private enterprise in

China, donated generously to Haiphong, and expanded overseas

trade. Many Nanyang children returned to China to join the

revolution and the war of resistance. During the Anti-Japanese War,

there were as many as 3,000 overseas Chinese who served on the

Yunnan-Burma Highway alone, and one-third of them died there.
