The ancestors of immigrants

This question is very popular and a treasure.

Because the Zhou family gave Nitianzhou (now Nitian Village, Pangu Town), today it belongs to Pangu Town, Jishui County, and the other side of the Ganjiang River is today's Shuitian Township.

What tugboat port? There were no mechanical power boats in ancient times. Once you encounter a place with a large height difference, it is natural to be a human tracker. Further downstream are Zhuqi Township and Jintang Village. Now Xiajiang Hydropower Station is built here. Why was it built here? There is a big difference in height. Ancient merchant ships can navigate through human trackers.

Why do you say that? Because there is a big camphor tree in Tubu, Jishui County (now Li Shiweng in Fuxia Village and the descendants of Li Jiafang on the other side (chestnut tree in Wudu, Jishui County in Yuan Dynasty and chestnut tree in Tubu, Jishui County in Ming Dynasty belong to the same family). This descendant moved to 25 families in Changde, Hunan in the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. This branch is collectively called Li in Liuliwan, Changde, Hunan; In addition, Li Chuan Ziqiao in Changde, whose ancestral home is Zhangshu, Tugboat Port, Jishui County, retired as an official in wanping county and returned to Changde to live. In addition to these two descendants, Baidu found that,

Mao, Liujia, Yangjia and Yujia are tugboats in Jishui County. Perhaps this Li family is in-laws, and immigrated to Changde, Hunan during the Yongle period. Li Bi, the most important ancestor of Li in Badou Bay, Changde, is also a big camphor tree in Tubu Port, Jishui County, which may be the main factor of this batch of immigrants with many Li surnames. It should be a local official of Changde magistrate during Yongle period. Li Bi is suspected to be from the eighth room of the Li family in Chengdu, Sichuan. His brother Li Xian (Li Simei) and his father Heng Li (Li Hu and Li Bohu) are now Fu Youde's generals, guarding Sichuan. Li Bixiang, the eldest son of (Li Simei), was a loyal minister of the Ming court in 1400. This factor may be that Li's ancestor, Changde, crossed the bridge and was the patron of Wanping County magistrate in Beijing. In addition, today's story of nine sons and ten counties in Fuxia Village, Jishui County should be the cause and effect of staying for future generations to study the imperial examination and become an official in Beijing. Continue to study, and also welcome the descendants of these branches to contact me.
