Jiangxi Waba is in Jiangxi.

Waxieba is located in Lianhu Township, Poyang County, Jiangxi Province.

Waxieba was originally an ancient ferry by Poyang Lake, which was the distribution center of Jiang Youmin immigrants in Anhui and Hubei provinces in the early Ming Dynasty. Government officers and soldiers will gather the arranged immigrants at Waxieba, and then board the ship and send them to Anqing and other places.

Because of the age, with the decline of legends, the descendants of immigrants gradually forgot the specific ancestral home and fixed their memory concept on the "Waba", as if "Waba" had become their original home and the home of a homesickness complex, just as East China and other provinces only remembered the "big locust tree". In fact, the origin of Waxieba immigrants is distributed in Raozhou (Poyang) and Jiujiang counties in Jiangxi Province.

Second, the endangered situation of folk customs.

The ancestor worship custom of Waxieba in Poyang has never stopped for hundreds of years, but its ancestor worship custom has only won provincial intangible cultural heritage projects. In addition, the appearance of the village is very poor, and there are no historical sites. The historical display of Washba immigrants in the village ancestral hall is only a pale picture, without physical support, and the start has fallen behind.
