What exactly does Guangdong, Guangxi and Sichuan mean? What is his historical background?

At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Sichuan experienced war and its population dropped sharply. Therefore, governments at all levels, from central to local, have taken a series of measures to attract foreign immigrants, among which Huguangxing Province has the largest population.

According to the population statistics in the twenty-four years of Kangxi, the population of Sichuan Province, which experienced large-scale wars, was only over 90,000. During the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, the Sichuan Basin finally calmed down and a number of new local officials began to take office.

In the seventh year of Kangxi, Dedi Zhang, the governor of Sichuan Province, played Emperor Kangxi with great anxiety, showing a strong sense of hardship. In the thirty-third year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi officially issued an imperial edict entitled "Recruit people to fill Sichuan", ordering large-scale immigration from Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong and other places to Sichuan.

Extended data:

As a major Hakka province in western China, with Longquanyi District as the core, Sichuan has gradually formed the largest Hakka dialect island in Dongshan, Chengdu, with a total of 500,000 Hakka people, which has well preserved the Hakka language family and life culture. In Sichuan, about 700,000 people can speak Hakka.

More than 85% of the ancient town of Luodai is the descendant of Hakka people from Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian who poured in during the immigration tide of "Huguang filling Sichuan" in the early Qing Dynasty. They still completely follow Hakka customs and speak Hakka dialect, which is known as "the living fossil of ancient Chinese".
