Why do Shanxi people go to the west, Shandong people go to Kanto and Guangdong people go to Nanyang in history?

Whether going to the west, going to Kanto or going to South Asia, the most direct and fundamental motivation and motivation is survival.

The difference is that Shanxi people go to the west to beg; Shandong people not only survived, but also contributed to the economic development and population reproduction in Northeast China. According to statistics, before the founding of New China, the total population of Northeast China was about 30 million, of which immigrants accounted for about 70% and Shandong immigrants accounted for about 70%. However, it is rare for Shandong people who travel to Guandong to develop into wealthy businessmen.

The most noteworthy and commendable thing is that Cantonese people have a long history of going to Nanyang and persevere. These overseas Chinese have made great contributions to the development and construction of Southeast Asia. At the same time, many overseas Chinese have also achieved great success and become wealthy businessmen or politicians on the rich side. The most famous are Mr Chen Jiageng and the Lee Kuan Yew family.

As a typical phenomenon of population movement in the history of China, going west, going to Kanto and going to South Asia conforms to the basic laws of population migration.

According to the principle of population migration, the fundamental reason of large-scale population flow is the imbalance of economic resources and production activities in various places. The specific direction of population flow is related to development level, geographical location, traffic information and political factors.

In fact, Zouxikou is a commodity circulation channel between the marginal areas of the Loess Plateau represented by Shanxi and the pastoral areas and Hetao areas of Inner Mongolia Plateau, and it is also an important way to balance population, develop land resources and solve famine. Generally speaking, the Loess Plateau, especially the Fenhe River basin where Shanxi is located, was developed earlier and has a high population density. Shanxi people are used to doing business and trade, and there are many disasters here, so they have lost a lot of land and businessmen. It is the best choice for the victims to make a living by reclaiming land in the west exit.

The reason why Shandong people "rushed to the east" is that Shandong was developed earlier, with a large population and less land, and floods, droughts and locusts were serious and frequent. At that time, the northeast of the customs was close to Hebei and Shandong, where there were a large number of wasteland easy to be reclaimed, abundant rain, fertile soil and rich mineral deposits, and naturally a large number of victims flowed to the northeast.

Guangdong is located on the southern coast, bordering Southeast Asia in the south. Southeast Asia has a tropical environment and is hot and rainy all year round, which is suitable for developing tropical cash crops, especially natural rubber. It is rich in land and minerals. Compared with Brazil, it is close to Europe and East Asia, so the modern development of Southeast Asia has made it an important destination for international population inflow. However, after the Opium War, the number of China decreased, which had a thrust exclusion effect on the population. Because land and sea are suitable for large-scale, long-distance transportation and trade, Southeast Asia is.

Why?

Because of poverty.

In order to survive, the poor land in Shanxi went to the west exit of Inner Mongolia to make a living.

Shandong is also poor and has many disasters. A large area of black land outside the customs attracted a large number of Shandong people to reclaim land for a living.

Guangdong, Fujian, the land is desertification, the mountains are full of big stones, water conservancy is short and poor, and sweet potatoes are the staple food. People from Guangdong, Fujian and coastal areas have made a living in Nanyang by boat in large numbers, returned to their hometowns with their clothes on, and brought many fellow villagers with them.

Such a large number of overseas Chinese has attracted more people to go abroad and become a local custom.

Shandong people went to the northeast to open up wasteland alone. After coming back, I took my relatives and friends, cultivated a lot of land, and finally became a big landlord, attracting more people. As a result, Shandong people are everywhere in the northeast.

Today, more than 80% of the people in Northeast China are from Shandong.

The Han people in Inner Mongolia are basically Shanxi people who have moved westward. Especially in cities, Han people occupy the first place. Mongolian people are basically in pastoral areas, and there are not many Han people.

The Han nationality in China, a family-run nation, is unwilling to leave their hometown, and they all love the rural life where their wives and children live on the kang.

However, there is no such life. When a family has no food for the night, escaping from the desert becomes the only way to find a life, which gives birth to a group of people who travel to Southeast Asia, venture into the Kanto and travel to the West, and a large number of immigrants move to areas where they can live to make a living.

This question is very sad. There are so many young people who "forgot history and betrayed their ancestors!" Tell them! This is a scene of suffering in the history of China. Shanxi people go to the west because they want to avoid disasters and seek food. Shandong people went to Guandong to find a place to live because of the war; Cantonese people go to Nanyang to make a living!

This is the evolution of historical inertia, nothing is absolute. As the saying goes, one side of the soil and water, one side of the people. Where do you want to go? You have your own complex, and you are influenced by external factors.

This is the motive force for survival and escape.

Life is good, and no one wants to leave home. In the wars in the history of our country, it is always the people at the bottom who suffer. Especially in modern times, corruption in the late Qing Dynasty, war in the Republic of China, banditry everywhere and land annexation. Thus forcing the people at the bottom of the country to flee to their legendary birthplace.

Shanxi is located in the barren loess plateau, and going west is actually going out to beg. Shandong people ventured into Guandong to take the legendary undeveloped land. At that time, the information was ineffective, and it was all driven by the news of the villagers, which led to no support from the people. Nanling in the north and Nanhai in the south of Guangdong. Most of the news people get is "go to Jinshan, go to Nanyang (Southeast Asia)". Cantonese, mostly from Nanyang, move along the Xijiang River basin. Cantonese people go to Nanyang mostly to do coolies and small businesses.

Shanxi people go west and Shandong people go east. Although some people have a business sense of harvesting certain assets, they were looted because of the war between bandits and warlords. Cantonese people went to Nanyang, and some people started small businesses. With savings, they become family assets and rich people, such as Li Ka-shing and Chen Jiageng. Most of Nanyang is a colony of foreign powers. Some China assets in Lower Nanyang have been preserved because foreign powers have not plundered it like warlords and bandits.

Going to the west and Guangdong are both domestic migration, and going to Southeast Asia is a foreign development. These are two different concepts.

Going west, going to Kanto and going to South Asia all have an answer. People are in trouble. If you don't go, if you can't break through, you're dead. Might as well live. The realistic system, the people of the whole country, have left the mountain village, spread all over the country and left their homes. Isn't it also a struggle for a better life? This is nothing new and normal.

In the old society, the traffic was underdeveloped and the economy was backward, not to mention the countryside. Therefore, in order to make their families live better, men all go to places where they are too greedy for money to work, so there are classics of going west, going to Kanto and going south to Nanyang. Many people will never come back, never go back to their hometown. So sad!
