Why did many villagers in Chun 'an County collectively move to Anhui, Jiangxi?

1958 is a turning point in the history of Xin 'anjiang. Chun 'an County, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, which is now Qiandao Lake, was originally a very gentle place, a land of plenty in the south of the Yangtze River, and a must for Huizhou merchants. Of course, the current Chun 'an County is formed by the merger of the original Chun 'an County and Sui 'an County. Both counties have a history of 1800 years, and their architectural styles were built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In 65,438+0,958, the state chose Xin 'anjiang-Baisha Town, jiande city to build a power station in order to provide water and electricity to Hangzhou and Shanghai people in the downstream, so Chun 'an in the upstream. 1959, Xin 'anjiang Hydropower Station is put into storage. All areas below the county elevation 108 meters have become waters. Flooded 255 enterprises, 270,268 houses and 307,838 mu of cultivated land in 2 counties, 8 towns and 39 townships 1.377 natural village. 28995 1 people in the county left their homes and moved to Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Anhui to rebuild their homes. As a result, the relatively flat areas in Chun 'an County were all submerged, leaving relatively high mountains. Not long ago, Zheng, secretary of Chun 'an County Party Committee, said that Chun 'an County was uneven except Qiandao Lake. Now Chun 'an County (Qiandao Lake Town) is also built on the top of a mountain, which used to be a place where barren hills and bandits often haunt. Nowadays, the economy of Chun 'an County is underdeveloped, which is closely related to reservoir construction. Chun' an County became poor because of the water, which made Chun' an's economy (the economic level of that year was almost the same as Xiaoshan) go backwards for 20 years.
