Sichuanese Sichuan nationality

Sichuanese are mainly native Sichuanese and later immigrated from Huguang and other places. To put it simply, Sichuanese are descendants of immigrants from all over the country. After Qin destroyed Shu, he once "moved Qin people thousands of miles", enriching Sichuan and Shu; From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Western Jin Dynasty, large-scale immigration activities occurred again; From the late Tang Dynasty to the early Southern Song Dynasty, a large number of northerners moved to Sichuan. At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, a large number of southern immigrants entered Sichuan. The great immigration activities in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties lasted for more than 100 years, which is the so-called "Huguang filling Sichuan"; During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, a large number of "Xiajiang people", that is, residents in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, moved to Sichuan. Even after the liberation of the whole country, a large number of northern cadres entered Sichuan. During the third-line construction period, a large number of people from all over the country entered Sichuan, and they took root and settled in Sichuan. In the history of China, Sichuan's population underwent six "big changes", so that the number of immigrants surpassed that of indigenous people, and relatives spread all over the country: "My aunt married my second aunt Su in Shaanxi, and my sister-in-law Ersao in Jiangxi. When relatives and friends meet and ask about their origins, there is no tenth old Chengdu. "

With the entry of immigrants, the collision of different regional cultures is inevitable. The collision of Central Plains culture, South Guangdong culture, Wu Yue culture, Chu culture and Bashu culture formed in the pre-Qin period is long-lasting and intense. However, the process of collision is also a process of integration, resulting in the birth of a new culture different from the original ancient Shu culture. Under this historical background, the characters of Sichuanese have to be heterogeneous and complex. People who step into Shu for the first time always feel refreshed, as if they have stepped into a new country. In 759 AD (the second year of Gan Yuan, Tang Suzong), poet Du Fu fled the war-torn Central Plains and came to Chengdu from Huazhou via Qin Zhou and Tonggu. He was very surprised. This strong sense of surprise even overshadowed his feelings during the difficult journey. He even forgot to complain about the difficulty of Shu Dao in the poem "Chengdufu" and just exclaimed loudly: "I walked between different mountains and rivers, and suddenly I came to the same side. But seeing new people, I don't know my hometown. "
