At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Hakkas took part in the anti-Yuan uprising. After the defeat, I had to go to the mountains and enter the forest, forming a pattern of "every mountain must have guests, and no one can live in the mountains without guests". /kloc-In the middle of the 9th century, after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, which was dominated by Hakkas, failed, a large number of Hakkas fled to the southeast coast and further migrated to Southeast Asia, Australia, North and South America, and began to "live as guests" everywhere.

Historical immigrants

At the end of Yuan Dynasty, Ming Yuzhen took Hubei as the main body and led more than 100,000 troops into Sichuan, followed by many farmers, which started the prelude of "Huguang filling Sichuan". The Ming government also intended to arrange for Huguang immigrants to enter Sichuan.

The real immigration climax appeared in the Qing Dynasty. In view of the ruin of Sichuan, Emperor Kangxi issued an imperial edict to recruit people to fill Sichuan in the thirty-third year of Kangxi, ordering large-scale immigration from Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Guangdong and other places to Sichuan. This migration lasted for more than 100 years, and more than100000 people poured into Sichuan. In Chengdu and counties of western Sichuan plain, the floating population accounts for more than 90% of the total population, while the floating population from Sichuan accounts for about 70% of the total population.
