Basic situation of Washba immigrants

Waxieba migration is an official activity to remove a large number of people from the south of the Yangtze River to reclaim land in the early Ming Dynasty, and it is part of the "Hongwu drive away". Waxieba immigrants took 48 years from the 3rd year of Hongwu to the 15th year of Yongle (1370- 14 17), and the 22nd year of Hongwu (1389). Of the 420,000 residents in Anqing, 270,000 came from Waxieba, Jiangxi. According to research, the tile dam in Jiangxi is located in Lianhu Township, Poyang County. According to Zhu Jiapu's records, Waba has become a "tile-roofed village". Located at the mouth of Poyang Lake, it was a foreign town in Raozhou, Jiangxi Province in the Ming Dynasty and one of the eight ancient immigrant holy places in China.
