Why do some Northeasters look like Henan people?

This is mainly due to the historical population movement, and many Henan people immigrated to the northeast to settle down. The main wave of immigration was after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is precisely because of the war at the end of the Ming Dynasty that General Longhu of the Ming Dynasty rebelled with Jian, Tongzhi and Governor Nurhachi, constantly invading Liaodong, burning and looting, killing or enslaving Han people, causing a large number of Han people to flee or die, and the population dropped seriously. There was a brief opening in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, but it was quickly banned in the northeast, because the first Manchu emperor after entering the customs was the emperor shunzhi. At that time, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and there were still remnants of the Ming Dynasty in the south trying to restore the country. In the case that the Manchu regime in Beijing may be overthrown, the Manchu needs to hold Manchuria, the base area where they can retreat. In addition, Manchu people think that Northeast China is the land of Longxing, which has geomantic value and military strategic significance. Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor shunzhi ordered the construction of a "wicker edge" along the Liaodong side wall to separate the Northeast from the Central Plains. The wicker border starts from Fengcheng in Liaoning in the east and ends at Shanhaiguan in the west. Trenches are dug, piles of soil are dikes, wickers are inserted on the dikes, fences are built, and soldiers are stationed. People in Shanhaiguan can only go out with printed tickets issued by the government, and they don't issue them when they have nothing to do. During the prosperous period of Kanggan, the Manchu regime was stable, but in order to preserve Manchu customs in Northeast China and prevent Manchu from being sinicized, Han people were still prohibited from entering Northeast China. In the seventh year of Kangxi (1668), the national ban policy was implemented, resulting in a large number of no-man's land in Northeast China. Emperor Qianlong once issued an imperial edict, clearly stipulating that farming and logging were prohibited in the land in Northeast China, and a large area of wilderness was reserved to maintain the custom of riding and shooting with the Eight Banners. Since the promulgation of the law, Northeast China has been formally incorporated into the national legal system, and the Qing government has intensified the investigation of people who go through customs, searching for Han people who secretly go through customs in Northeast China, and sent them back to their places of origin as soon as they are found.

During the reign of Kangxi, the population of China increased rapidly, doubling in a hundred years, and the problem of large population and small land became increasingly acute, especially in the Central Plains. /kloc-in the 0 th and 9 th centuries, floods and droughts occurred frequently in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and famines were everywhere. At this time, a large area of fertile land in the northeast was idle, and farmers from the Central Plains began to flood into Kanto. Especially during the famine in Ding Wuqi, a large number of victims flooded into the court and acquiesced. Since then, going to Kanto has become a widely recognized way out for people with difficulties in life in society.

The origin of immigrants who broke through Kanto is mainly Shanxi, Shandong, Jiangsu, Hebei, Henan and other provinces. Note that although Henan is not the largest province for immigrants, it is also one of the main sources of immigrants in Northeast China.

1860, in the face of tsarist Russia's seizure of the territory of northeast China and Sakhalin Island after the Treaty of Love, General Tepkin of Heilongjiang wrote to the court, calling for the prohibition of land reclamation and encouraging immigrants to establish solid borders, which was adopted. During Guangxu period, the ban on Northeast China was completely abolished, which legalized the migration of Han people to Northeast China. Han immigrants no longer sneaked into the northeast, so landless or less farmers from Zhili (now Hebei) and Shandong entered the northeast to reclaim wasteland. At that time, the northeast was vast and sparsely populated, and the legal system was weak. Immigration to the northeast intensified and reached a climax.

In the early years of the Republic of China, during the reign of warlord Zhang, in order to vigorously develop the northeast economy, the Han people were pushed to a climax by developing agriculture and industry and constantly building railways. At this point, a large number of North Chinese people moved to the northeast, including a large number of Henan people.

After the founding of New China, in order to build the Northeast, many construction corps went to the Northeast for construction, including many people from Henan. In short, many Northeasters are descendants of Henan people, so they will look the same.
