Three most famous population movements in China's modern history

The three most famous population movements in China's modern history are: going to South Asia, going to Xikou and going to the East.

1. The modern history of China is the history from the First Opium War (1840) to the relocation of the Nanjing Kuomintang regime to Taiwan Province Province (1949) and the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC).

Second, go to Nanyang.

The real trip to Lower Nanyang began in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties and reached its climax in the late Qing Dynasty. By 1905, the total number of overseas Chinese has reached 7 million. Until the low tide of several revolutions in modern times, China emigrated to Southeast Asia to escape political persecution.

The refugees from Lower Nanyang come from most provinces and regions in China, but more than 95% are from Fujian and Guangdong. This is closely related to natural and human factors. Fujian and Guangdong provinces have twists and turns along the coast, and people learn from the sea, which is unmatched by mainland people; The two provinces are close to Nanyang, which is convenient to travel back and forth, and the road is close and economical.

According to statistics, of Indonesia's 200 million population, about 10 million are Chinese; Malaysia has a population of 25 million and about 6 million Chinese. Thailand has a population of 65 million and about 20 million Chinese, accounting for nearly one third; Singapore has a population of more than 3 million, with Chinese accounting for 90%, which is the country with the highest proportion of overseas Chinese.

Third, take the west exit.

The time to go to Xikou probably began in the middle of Ming Dynasty, so the deadline was probably the end of Qing Dynasty, and the climax should be the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, with the largest number of people. There are two ways to go west:

1, because Shanxi had a large population at that time, so life was more difficult.

2. The other group of people developed in the middle of Ming Dynasty because of the need of frontier defense in Inner Mongolia at that time. Then some people went to the west to meet this requirement, to develop commercial trade outside the mouth, and even to later banks.

Fourth, go to the East.

"Going East" is the abbreviation of China's immigration to the Northeast in modern times. Shandong, Hebei, Henan, Shanxi and Shaanxi do the most people, and Shandong does the most. Shandong Jiaodong has the largest population, and almost every household "rushes to the East". Even the young people in the village are regarded as worthless by the villagers if they don't venture into Kanto.

1, because with the Japanese and Russian forces entering the northeast, the taboo of Manchu immigration to the northeast is useless.

2. It is also because with the development of Northeast China by Japan and Russia, a large number of laborers are needed;

2. Three major disasters occurred in the mainland in Guangxu 3 years, 18 years and 3 1 year. Mainland residents who support the elderly and take care of the young flee to the northeast in droves to seek refuge with relatives and friends, and can plant wasteland.

During the Republic of China, the number of people who entered kanto region varied from year to year, but it was at least over 200,000, and it was over one million for four years. During the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the total amount exceeded 654.38+0,000 million respectively. It can be said that more than 80% of the ancestors in Northeast China today were immigrants in that period.

Extended data:

During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Henan people migrated northwest along the Longhai Railway, which was also a population migration in the modern history of China. This is caused by three historical events:

1. 1937 After the July 7th Incident, Japan began to invade China on a large scale, and people fled to Xi 'an and other rear areas.

Second, the National Government "replaced soldiers with water" and opened the Yellow River Huayuankou on 1938. The Yellow River flooded 44 counties and cities in Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces,12.5 million people were affected and more than 890,000 people died.

1942 The Great Famine in the Central Plains once again aroused a wave of large-scale westward migration of victims in the Central Plains. 1942 (3 1 year of the Republic of China), an extraordinary famine occurred in Henan province. In those days, the Guanzhong Plain had a good weather and a bumper harvest.

At that time, Henan Province had a population of 30 million, and according to official statistics 1942- 1943, the number of people who died of famine was as high as 3 million. The people affected by the disaster in the Central Plains went to Luoyang by train or on foot, and went to the northwest "rear area" along Longhai Road.

It is estimated that there are 3.9 million people in * * * in Henan, Anhui and Su Sansheng, most of whom are from Henan, who have left their homes and begged all the way and fled to Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Xinjiang and other provinces. From the central plains to the northwest, a picture of starvation.

Even now, in the northwest towns along the Longhai Railway, Henan people account for a large proportion, Weinan, Xi and Xianyang account for one third, Baoji and Tianshui even account for more than half, so that there are many Henan people in Xining and Lanzhou, and one in every six people in Xinjiang is from Henan.
