Why do many people in Hubei call Jiangxi an old cousin?

Although Hubei and Jiangxi are far apart, Jiangxi has migrated to Hubei before. So from this perspective, it is not surprising that many people in Hubei call Jiangxi an old cousin. Nowadays, many people know that it is called Jiangxi laobiao, but actually they don't know when the name Jiangxi laobiao came and why it is called laobiao. In fact, as young people nowadays, many people don't know the name "cousin". But the older generation will pay more attention to this statement, which can also be said to be a cultural heritage.

During the war, Jiangxi will migrate to Hubei and Hunan because of lack of food. In ancient times, many people actually lived a relatively primitive life. Maybe as soon as the sun comes out in the morning, I will go to bask in the sun and plant some land or something. When the sun goes down, I will go home and have a rest. This is actually a primitive way of life, but it is also a common way of life in that era. This lifestyle should be a kind of life that many people yearn for now, but it was actually a choice without choice at that time.

Agricultural life is easily affected by natural disasters. In case of flood or drought, those who depend entirely on the land will lose their only source of income. In this way, the ability to resist risks will be lower. Therefore, in case of natural disasters, Jiangxi people will go to places without natural disasters. This is what we call migration, which can also be called immigration. Because Jiangxi people and Hubei people have such an intersection, many Hubei people will affectionately call Jiangxi people cousins.

So I think it is inseparable that people in Hubei call Jiangxi people cousins and immigrants. Because of all kinds of contacts, many people will subconsciously belong to their own people. Therefore, when people from Hubei meet people from Jiangxi, they will affectionately call each other cousins.
