In the early Ming Dynasty, the immigrants had a huge momentum and a vast territory. The north mainly immigrated from Shanxi to Henan, Hebei and Shandong. In the south, the main orientation is "Jiangxi fills Huguang" and "Huguang fills Sichuan", that is, immigrants from Jiangxi to Huguang area. According to the statistics of Chinese immigration history, during the Hongwu period, the population who immigrated from Jiangxi to Hubei, Hunan, Anhui and Jiangsu exceeded 265,438+10,000. Of these 265,438+people, nearly one million are from Raozhou. Most immigrants from Jiangxi moved out from Poyang Waxie Dam in Raozhou, which is the first immigrant distribution center in the south of the Yangtze River.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the government set up a bureau in Waxieba. The immigrants from counties in Raozhou arrived at Waxieba in Poyang Lake along the Le 'an River and the Yangtze River, then registered, distributed "Sichuan funds", arranged ships, and sailed out of Poyang Lake to reach the hukou. Immigrants went down the Yangtze River and reached counties in Anhui, and went up against the Yangtze River and reached counties in Hubei and Hunan.
