Sichuan is far away from the Central Plains, so why is Mandarin spoken there?

The Mandarin spoken in Sichuan is actually related to the particularity of the Sichuan people. Of course, the language spoken in the Bashu area was not Mandarin at first, and most people could not understand it. In ancient times, there were Shu and Shu people in the Sichuan Basin. The two non-Chinese ethnic groups Ba and the two independent countries Shu and Ba not only have their own independent languages: ancient Shu and Cuban, but also have an independent language collectively called "Bashu Tuyu" Writing system, but this place was conquered by Qin very early. When Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, this was the logistics center of Qin.

At that time, the majority of immigrants who moved to Shu were probably indigenous people, while the Jiangxi people who moved to Macheng were in the minority. From the genealogy of various surnames, we occasionally found records of "moving to Shu" and "settling to Shu", but there are very few, which can probably support the above statement. "I asked you where your ancestral home is, Xiaogan Township, Macheng, Huguang." This common saying is well known to the descendants of immigrants from Xiaogan Township in Sichuan and Chongqing, both women and children. Some people say that 60% of immigrants in Sichuan come from Xiaogan Township, Macheng. This statement has long been widely recognized and recognized by society. False, this is a deliberately exaggerated and slanderous statement made by the Manchu Qing Dynasty against Zhang Xianzhong. In the era of modern hot weapons, warlords fought in melee during the Republic of China. I have never heard such exaggerated statements.

Maybe I heard goodbye later. I heard that when they were unwilling to move to Kuizhou, the officers and soldiers burned their houses, then tied them up and forced them to move to Kuizhou Prefecture. People here say that our ancestors moved from Macheng. Come, it is true that Macheng accounts for half. Maybe I heard goodbye later. I heard that when they were unwilling to move to Kuizhou, the officers and soldiers burned their houses and then tied them up and forced them to move to Kuizhou Prefecture. People here say that our ancestors came from Macheng, and Macheng accounted for half of them. That's true. Macheng only has a population of about 1 million now. How many people could it have had during the Ming and Qing Dynasties? ! It is a bit exaggerated to say that they account for half of the immigrants from Huguang! Moreover, the current administrative divisions are very different from those in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In order to strengthen the control over the entire area, the entire Guizhou area was combined into one Guizhou Province. I have lived in Chengdu for a long time and have also been to Guiyang. For a foreigner like me, the dialects in the two places are indeed quite similar. In terms of dialect classification, Chengdu and Guiyang also belong to the Southwest Mandarin region. Young people in Sichuan often say that their families have genealogy records and that their families are immigrants from Xiaogan Township, Macheng County, Hubei Province.
