When did you start your trip to the East?

The trip to Kanto began in the19th century.

From the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the Republic of China, people in Shanhaiguan area, mainly in Shandong and Zhili, began to venture eastward.

/kloc-in the 9th century, the lower reaches of the Yellow River suffered from famine year after year, but the Qing government still prohibited customs clearance. Thousands of bankrupt farmers ignored the ban and risked being punished to "rush" into Guandong, which is the origin of "rushing to pass".

Most of the people who went to Kanto came from Shandong and Hebei, and most of them were forced to make a living because of natural disasters and wars. They need to overcome all kinds of difficulties from the mainland to Kanto, either crossing the ocean or wading through mountains and rivers. They crossed mountains and rivers, starved, fought wild animals, avoided bandits, broke through many obstacles, and finally came to the land of Kanto to make a living for survival.

This leads to the spirit of "going east", which is mainly manifested in the following four aspects:

First, the enterprising spirit of daring to fight hard, not afraid of sacrificing life, indomitable and heroic struggle with heaven, earth and people;

Second, dare to fight against the fate of life, not afraid of any resistance, and dare to devote themselves to the pursuit of a better life;

Third, it is the scientific spirit that dares to fight for changing poverty and backwardness and its own shortcomings, is not afraid of the shackles of any stereotypes, and dares to innovate and keep pace with the times;

Fourth, in the face of complicated and changeable social life, we should actively advocate the life principle of being gentle, respectful and frugal, different people have different opinions, and the humanistic spirit of helping the poor, being tolerant and living in harmony.

Extended data:

"De-orientalization" is a very unique and influential historical and cultural phenomenon in China's modern history, and it is also a feat of immigration in the world history. From the late Qing Dynasty to the September 18th Incident, tens of millions of people in North China, mainly Shandong, moved to the rich northeast to start businesses and make a living.

Culturally, the Chinese nation is a farming nation. The biggest feature of farming people is that they like to stick to one acre and three points, and are willing to live a quiet life of "wife and children fever". It really takes a lot of courage to be a wanderer far from home, work hard and explore the new world. As a social custom, traveling to the East is widely accepted.
