The Historical Evolution of Yingshan

The story of "a basket under the south of the Yangtze River" is widely circulated in Yingshan, Guangshui, Hubei, Ningguo, Anhui and other places. This story fundamentally shows that Ningguo and Guangshui have a strong blood relationship and strong local accent. In recent years, many people from Ningguo, whose ancestral home is Yingshan, began to go back to Guangshui to find their roots. They expressed their strong desire to find their loved ones through non-governmental organizations and news media, but due to age, social changes and vague memories, many people failed to return.

According to the interviewee's oral statement and the records of Ningguo City, "After the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, affected by the war, the local people were devastated, and a large number of immigrants moved in one after another, mostly from Yingshan, Hubei." According to the survey data, 80% of the population in Ningguo is descended from immigrants, and among these immigrants, Hubei people account for 80%. Among these descendants of Hubei immigrants, Guangshui (formerly yingshan county) accounted for more than half. Nowadays, among the 380,000 people in Ningguo, Guangshui people account for about 200,000 people. In today's Helixi office in Ningguo City, there is still a Hubei street with strong Chu style, and almost all the people living there are descendants of Yingshan people. Therefore, the blood of Guangshui in Hubei and Ningguo in Anhui is thicker than water, and the origin is * * *.
