Excuse me, which dynasty did Huguang fill Sichuan? Why?

It happened in the early Qing dynasty, when Huguang filled Sichuan.

At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, Sichuan suffered from frequent wars. The population dropped from more than 6.5438+0.3 million in the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty to more than 500,000 in the early Qing Dynasty, and the cultivated land dropped from 6.5438+0.3 million in the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty to more than 6.5438+0 million in the Shunzhi period of Qing Dynasty. In order to restore the economy and increase fiscal revenue, the Qing government organized large-scale immigrants to reclaim land.

At the initial stage of migration mobilization, farmers in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River did not understand the situation in Sichuan, and even though the government had preferential policies in taxation and naturalization, they were still reluctant to enter Sichuan. To this end, the Qing government started with the arrest of local officials, and in the 14th year of Shunzhi, it promulgated the Regulations on Encouraging Reclamation, which directly linked the number of people recruited to the assessment and promotion of local officials at all levels. ?

Because the road into Sichuan is difficult and remote, it is inevitable that someone will give up halfway, so the officers and men who advised reclamation forced their way into Sichuan by binding their hands. When immigrating, officers and men have to untie the rope, so there is a saying of "relieving oneself".

In the history of China, it was called "Huguang filling Sichuan" because the large-scale immigrants to Sichuan in the early Qing Dynasty mainly came from Huguang and Hubei provinces (including Hunan and Hubei).

Extended data:

"Huguang" refers to today's Hubei and Hunan.

In Yuan Dynasty, Huguang was set as a major book province in China, including the whole of Hunan Province and parts of Hubei, Guangdong and Guangxi. Although the Ming and Qing Dynasties were divided into provinces, Hubei and Hunan provinces were still called "Huguang" because they were used to each other.

Many Sichuanese in modern times have their ancestral homes in Huguang. According to the records of Ba County Records in the Republic of China, since the publication of Tu Shu in the late Ming Dynasty, Sichuan natives have been deserted, and nine times out of ten foreign immigrants are Huguang people. "Miscellaneous Annals of Zizhou" records: "Today's territory is divided into five provinces: one province, two Chu provinces, three Guangdong provinces, four Fujian provinces and five Jiangxi provinces."
