Immigrants fled back to Jiangxi

As we know, China's civilization originated in the Yellow River Basin, where China's ancestors first established civilization and political power. After the war and the expansion of the country, it spread to the present China. Before the rulers controlled the vast land in the Yangtze River valley and the south of the Yangtze River valley, they all called that land Naman, thinking that most people there were arrogant and unreasonable.

According to the climate of the Yangtze River basin and the vast land south of the Yangtze River basin, we can know that they are dominated by subtropical climate, with abundant rain and fertile land. In modern times, it is a very good residential area, but at that time, because no one lived there, there were many trees, and most people living there made a living by hunting.

And no house to live in. Most of them live in caves. From the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the feudal period of BC 1046, farming civilization prevailed in this area, but compared with the prosperous northern area, it was still an underdeveloped area because of its sparse population.

So how did the southern region develop? There should be the following reasons. First, because the economy in the north is prosperous, it is the political and cultural center, and there are often wars. People fled to the south to escape the war. From the Warring States to the end of the feudal dynasty, many people fled to the south mainly by fleeing chaos.

There are many immigrants here, mainly in the late Tang Dynasty, the late Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty. In 907 AD, the demise of the Tang Dynasty was accompanied by the demise of Li Tang's policy. Armed separatist forces appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and they were separated in various areas of the Central Plains, taking the areas with developed economy and agriculture at that time as forces for power and profit.

Taking war as the oppressive force, these Zhongyuan people living in the Yellow River valley were forced to come to Huguang area, because the local soil was fertile, the population was sparse, and the advanced production technology was mastered, which made Huguang area develop. In the Song Dynasty, there was a proverb that Su Hu was familiar to the world. More and more people flock to these two areas, resulting in a decline in the number of local aborigines.

Later, because of the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, many Han Chinese refused to accept the control of the Mongolian army and rebelled against the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty was in the south. In addition, the economic strength in Huguang area is the best, and the economy drives ideological emancipation. Huguang rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty most fiercely, and many Hunan people were slaughtered.

This led to a sharp decline in Hunan's population, but it did not dispel the local people's resistance to the Yuan Dynasty. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the rebel army was established in Huguang area to fight against the Yuan Dynasty, and the original residents in Huguang area were diluted by the war. The second reason is that during the Warring States period, in order to expand their territory, policy immigrants placed some residents in the south to occupy land.

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, in order to effectively rule China, Zhu Yuanzhang distributed the population of all provinces more evenly, so that he injected the population of Jiangxi into Hunan to fill Hunan. Later, the relationship between Hunan and Jiangxi was very close, and it was often commensurate with the old class. For these reasons, most people in Hunan are not local residents, but migrants.
