Anqing people are in southern Shaanxi (only five points now)

The Mystery of Shaanxi Immigrant Tide in Tongcheng Area in the Past 250 Years

Twenty years ago, I took part in a combat readiness duty in Shangluo area of Shaanxi and Hubei-Henan border area, and lived in Danfeng County for a period of time. One day, I drove to Xiangkou Commune, Yunxi County, Hubei Province, and stayed in the supply and marketing cooperative that night. The person in charge of the supply and marketing cooperative is a very enthusiastic old man. His kind words of "not as good as you" made my heart warm: Anqing people? Don't! I quickly opened the map, which is about 1000 km away from Anqing. What the hell is going on? Since then, this matter has been deeply imprinted on my mind. 10 years ago, Xu Jixiang, a reporter from Anqing Daily, told me a rumor that a driver in Anqing broke down at night in a certain place in Shaanxi and knocked on the door for help in the dark. Unexpectedly, all the people who opened the door were Anqing dialect, and the driver was startled: Why hasn't the car left Anqing after running for several days? Somehow, I associate the above two together and have a "feeling" that I don't quite understand. I told my classmate, Wang Qigui, director of Anqing Cable TV Special Department, that he had the same "feeling" and was even more interested than me! Two years ago, in an article written by an author named Zhang Quanhai, Wang Qigui saw that many Anqing people moved to southern Shaanxi as early as the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. According to the "Shangnan County Records" of the Republic of China, "After twenty years of Qianlong, people from several counties in Anqing, south of the Yangtze River moved to business, seized my land, got wind of it, and followed many people. This Shangnan is also known as' Little Taihu Lake'. " The Qing Jiaqing's "Shanyang County Records" contains: "In forty-four years, Anhui, Hunan and Hubei provinces have been repeatedly invaded by disasters, and the mountain people have been in an endless stream." Historical data show that there were indeed a large number of Anqing immigrants to Shaanxi at that time. After that, Wang Qigui and I began to collect relevant information. We traveled to and from counties and townships in Anqing City, climbed mountains and mountains, visited villages and households, visited respected elderly people in rural areas, and searched for genealogy of folk surnames, hoping to confirm historical facts. Finally, in the genealogical records and ethnic descriptions of Chen, Huang, Shi, Wang, Liu and Yi in Huaining, Tongcheng and Qian Shan, it is confirmed that the history of Anqing's immigration to Shaanxi occurred about 250 years ago. Liu Jia's genealogy was revised after War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, which clearly put forward a great regret, that is, due to the war and the loss of Liu's news in Shaanxi, it could not be revised into the genealogy. By the late 1980s, there had been non-governmental exchanges in Shangluo, Shaanxi, Xichuan, Henan, Yunxi, Hubei and Anqing. For example, some Huang surnames in Shaanxi and Anqing have jointly compiled genealogies in recent years; The Chen family tree in Anqing was revised several years ago. He contacted Shaanxi because the old genealogy was damaged. Three villages in Zhen 'an County, Shaanxi Province 1500 people. Specially sent a few people to escort 48 volumes of old genealogy to Anqing, making Chen Wan a genealogical update. Anqing folks celebrate the Lunar New Year on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, and have the custom of "receiving ancestors" and "seeing off" on the 15th of the first month. Shaanxi Huang surname is the habit of "seeing off ancestors" on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month-returning to his hometown Anqing for the New Year and "receiving ancestors" on the 15th of the first month. In some families, on New Year's Eve, the elders have to tell the younger generation that "my hometown is in Jiangnan (Anqing)", which has been passed down from generation to generation! Now on holidays, Anqing people and Shaanxi people also exchange greetings by phone. But regarding this immigration history, Wang Qigui and I specially consulted the local chronicles of Anqing and Tongcheng, and they all said that Anqing's local chronicles or other county chronicles were not recorded, which was the first time I heard of it.
