The reasons and significance of the Qing Dynasty's crossing the Guandong River to the west.

Reason:/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 the northeast, which is the origin of "going to the east"

Significance: Crossing the Kanto is a social and historical migration phenomenon with spontaneous objective factors and deep internal political influence. In essence, Shandong people's crusade to the East is a spontaneous, overwhelming and tragic survival movement of poor farmers who are dying.

As a social custom, traveling to the East is widely accepted. The East Gate of Shanhaiguan City defines the land outside Shanhaiguan and the Central Plains. From the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China for hundreds of years, Shandong people who left their homes began to venture eastward.
