Judging from the historical situation of ethnic integration in northern China, all ethnic groups in the north of Shijiazhuang have Hu. Can you think so?

You can't. Because there have been many great migrations in the history of our country, the ethnic origins were mixed after the Five Chaos, and after the open policy of the Tang Dynasty and the ethnic integration during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, before the Yuan Dynasty, it can be said that the ethnic origins of people in the northern region were much higher than those in the southern region. However, after the great migration in Ming and Qing Dynasties, northerners migrated to the south in large numbers. Today, in places north of the Yangtze River, especially in Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, Hebei, Anhui and other provinces, most people take Hongdong in Shanxi as their ancestral home. In places other than these places, because of the emigration of these provinces, Hongdong is also regarded as a place to seek roots and ancestors, such as three northeastern provinces and Taiwan Province Province (two thirds of the population in Taiwan Province Province today belongs to the descendants of Sophora japonica).

The migration of Sophora japonica in Hongdong, Shanxi Province began in the Song and Jin Dynasties and lasted until the early Yuan Dynasty. By the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, a large-scale immigration activity organized by the government was formed. The migration activities in Ming dynasty continued in Ming dynasty, but mainly in Hongwu and Yongle years. During the Qing Qianlong period, this activity continued. The long-term migration movement in Qing dynasty was mainly the filling of Sichuan with Huguang.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the frequent wars in the Central Plains, coupled with natural disasters and epidemics, made a large number of people scattered around and desolate everywhere. In Shanxi, however, because Mongolians Chahan Tieogura and Kuoko Tieogura took advantage of favorable terrain and were on one side, there were fewer war disasters. Residents of North China Plain came to Shanxi to take refuge, which led to a more prosperous economy and population than other regions. According to historical records, 138 1 year, the population of Hebei and Henan is only180,000 each, and there are more than 40 million in Shanxi, mostly concentrated in the south of Shanxi.

According to Lu, the fourteen years of Hongwu were 138 1, the population of Henan was 189 1000, the population of Hebei was 1893000, and the population of Shanxi was 4030450, which was more than that of Henan and Hebei. )

After Zhu Yuanzhang unified the Central Plains, in order to restore and develop the economy, the system of reclamation was implemented. The densely populated Pingyang county has become an important area for immigrants. Farmers who moved from counties first concentrated in the villages around the big locust tree in Hongdong, went through the formalities in Guangji Temple where the big locust tree was located, and then set foot on the journey in groups and moved to different places.

Immigrants of Sophora japonica in Hong Tong are distributed in Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hubei, Mongolia, and even some immigrants in Guangxi, Guangdong and Hainan.

The migration of Sophora japonica started in the early Ming Dynasty and lasted for more than 100 years. During the Hongwu period alone, hundreds of thousands of people moved out of Hongdong area. Some are directly distributed in Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Anhui and other provinces, and some are indirectly distributed in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Northeast China, Inner Mongolia and other places. When reclaiming land, the state gives cattle, seeds and land rent-free for three years. Through the hard work of immigrants, the cultivated land area in the original desolate area has been greatly increased, and agricultural production has been restored and developed. At the same time, it has also contributed to consolidating border defense and promoting ethnic integration and cultural exchanges. Because these immigrants went through the immigration formalities under the locust tree in Hongdong, they regarded this place as their hometown. Up to now, the proverb "Ask where my ancestors came from, Sophora japonica in Hongtong, Shanxi" is still circulating in the north of China. The migration of Sophora japonica in Hongdong is not limited to Hongdong people. Sophora japonica in Hongtong is a gathering place for Shanxi immigrants. The residents who moved out were mainly from Taiyuan and Pingyang, and people from Zezhou, Luchu, Liaoning and Qin Fen. According to the records in Ming History and Shi Minglu, from now on, the places of emigration should be Linfen, Yuncheng, Jinzhong, Taiyuan, Changzhi and Jincheng. It can be seen that the area where Shanxi people moved at that time was quite large, including almost the whole central and southern Shanxi except Yanbei area. Before leaving, most of the immigrants in these areas went through the migration procedures under the big locust tree in Hongdong, received the migration certificate issued by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, bid farewell to the past, and then went to a different place.

There are only 18 migration activities recorded in historical books, including 10 migration in Hongwu period. "Who is the ancient locust? Take off your shoes and check if your little toe has a nail shape. " . Generally speaking, in Henan, Shandong, Hebei, Shaanxi, northern Anhui, northern Jiangsu and other places, people who moved from Hongdong have a crack in their little toenails, which seems to be two nails, and they are still compound nails today. Since ancient times, all ethnic groups in the north have lived together, and today they are still compound nails. This problem remains to be further studied by folklore scholars and geneticists. )

It is said that some immigrants were kidnapped and escorted out of the country. If they need to urinate on the road, they must ask the team leader to untie the rope. So far, going to the toilet in these areas is still called "relieving oneself".

After several generations and more than ten generations, most descendants of people who moved from Gu Huai didn't know where they were in He Cun before they moved, but they all knew that "Sophora japonica is their hometown", which has never been forgotten. Immigrants are reluctant to leave the pagoda tree. After arriving at the new settlement, most of them planted Sophora japonica trees to express their nostalgia for their hometown.

According to "Hongdong County Records", during the reign of Hongwu Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Shanxi people moved to Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, Anhui and other places many times, and Guangji Temple set up a bureau to station personnel, and the pagoda tree was formed to take care of the capital of Sichuan. Hongdong immigrants left their hometown step by step from this big tree and regarded the big locust tree as their hometown forever. Unfortunately, in the Ming Dynasty, the Sophora japonica was destroyed by water diversion with the temple, and the second generation of Sophora japonica withered. Fortunately, the third-generation locust tree is now flourishing. Nowadays, the annual search for the roots of Tomb-Sweeping Day has attracted a large number of descendants of immigrants to recognize their ancestors.
