china population migration

The plain in the middle and lower reaches of the river is the birthplace of the Chinese nation, and the population of China originally lived and multiplied in this area. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, due to natural environment and social reasons, the population of China has migrated frequently, spreading from the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River to the surrounding areas, especially to the Yangtze River basin and the Pearl River basin in the south, thus gradually spreading the population to every region in China. According to the estimation of Professor Hu Huanyong, a geographer in China, the population migration triggered by the Anshi Rebellion fundamentally changed the geographical distribution pattern of population in China, making the population in the south surpass the population in the north for the first time, and the center of population geographical division in China was transferred from the Yellow River basin to the Yangtze River basin for the first time.

There are many reasons for population migration in the history of our country, among which the most direct reasons are immigration, war and natural disasters. Historically, whenever there is war or famine in northern China, it will cause large-scale population migration to the south.
