Where were the birthplaces of the eight ancient immigrants in China?

Immigrants and surname migration in China in the past dynasties mostly occurred in the historical period of violent social unrest, showing obvious characteristics such as relatively concentrated time, huge quantity, clear direction and relatively fixed region. It starts from Xiaoxingzhou outside Guanwai in the north, reaches Zhuji Lane in the north of Guangdong in the south, starts from Zaolinzhuang in Shandong in the east and reaches Xiaogan Township in Hubei in the west, forming the starting point and distribution center of eight famous immigrants, and has also become a holy place for China people to seek roots and worship their ancestors.

1, Sophora japonica in Hong Tong, Shaanxi.

Ask me where my ancestors came from, the locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi.

The Ming government set up a bureau in Dahuaishu, Hongtong County, Shanxi Province. In about 50 years, forced immigrants have moved 18 people on a large scale, totaling one million people, involving more than 100 surnames.

Sophora japonica in Hongtong is the birthplace of immigrants with the widest radiation range and the greatest influence in the history of immigration in China, and has become the hometown in the hearts of hundreds of millions of people.

2 Jiangxi Waba

The ancient tile dam is a ferry. Millions of Jiangxi immigrants left their homes according to the law of "one for four, two for six and three for eight". They gathered from Waba one after another, rode ancient sailboats, crossed the choppy Poyang Lake, headed for Hubei, Henan and Anhui, and sailed to an unknown distance. ...

Historians say that "there is a big pagoda tree in Shanxi in the north and a tile dam in Jiangxi in the south"

Guangdong Nanxiong Zhuji Lane No.3

Zhuji Lane is located on the ancient Meiling Road, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty ordered Zhang Jiuling to dig a new road in Dayuling. Since then, Meiguan Ancient Road has become the most important route for South Water Trade and Immigration. Zhuji Lane was originally the name of an alley in Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. When the Song Dynasty moved south, after the people who moved south settled in Nanxiong, in order to express their nostalgia for the old capital, they named the settlement as Zhuji Lane.

Zhuji Lane has become a sacred place for Lingnan people to worship.

4 Suzhou Nagato

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court requisitioned and relocated a large number of fields from the south of the Yangtze River to the north of Jiangsu Province, and "expelled the two States of Jiangsu and Huaiyang", which was called "Hongwu drove away" in history. These immigrants all claim to be Suzhou changmen.

Nagato in Suzhou is a holy land for immigrants in Su Beiren's mind.

5 Xiaogan Township in Macheng

"Jiangxi fills Huguang" and "Huguang fills Sichuan". During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Sichuan suffered serious damage again, and its population dropped sharply. So a large number of immigrants entered Sichuan one after another. Most of them come from Huguang, forming the basic pattern of "Huguang filling Sichuan".

Xiaogan Township, Macheng County, Hubei Province, was a distribution center for immigrants in those years and a sacred place in the minds of many people in Sichuan and Chongqing. Today, there is an immigration museum "Huguang fills Sichuan".

No.6, Ninghua Shibi Village, Fujian

Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, due to the war in the Central Plains, the Han people moved south, crossed the Yangtze River back to the Ganjiang River and crossed the foot of Wuyishan. Finally, they found a paradise like Shibi and began to thrive there, forming a unique language family and customs, which was originally called "Hakka dialect".

Shibi has the reputation of "Hakka cradle" and "Hakka ancestral land". There is a Hakka Temple.

7 Xiaoxingzhou, Hebei Province

Xiaoxingzhou in Hebei Province is the first important town north of the ancient Great Wall. In the early Ming Dynasty, although the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty retreated to Mobei, in order to prevent the Mongols from invading, Emperor Hong stationed a large number of troops along the Great Wall and organized large-scale forced migration.

Xiaoxingzhou became the ancestral home of many surnames in Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Shandong and Northeast China.

08 Zaolinzhuang, Shandong

Anqiu Wang Fu Village in northern Yanzhou, Shandong Province, formerly known as Zaolinzhuang, is a distribution center for immigrants in Ming and Qing Dynasties. The seven surnames of "Wu Zhou Zheng Wang Li Dingliang" in Suixi County, Anhui Province were all moved.

At present, Zaolinzhuang people in Liaoning, Jilin and other provinces claim that their ancestors immigrated to the frontier in the early Qing Dynasty. In order not to forget their ancestral home, they named it "Zaolin".
