Who has heard the saying that Huguang fills Sichuan? What do you mean tell me?

It is to move people from Hunan and Guangdong to Sichuan to fill the shortage of population in Sichuan. More specifically, "Huguang filling Sichuan" means that in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, due to wars, plagues and natural disasters, Sichuan's population dropped sharply and cultivated land was barren. Under this specific historical condition, in order to solve the problems of labor force and grain production in Sichuan, the Qing Dynasty adopted the measures of "reclaiming land for wasteland", and ten immigrants from Yu Sheng, such as Hubei and Hunan, settled in Sichuan one after another, with Hubei and Hunan being the most. According to statistics, this migration lasted for more than 100 years, and the number of people entering Sichuan was about one million, of which Hubei and Hunan provinces each accounted for half. Among the immigrants in Hubei Province, Macheng immigrants occupy an important position. This paper discusses the status and role of Macheng immigrants in "Huguang filling Sichuan".
