This time, about 900,000 people migrated southward, which changed the pattern of population distribution that had been more in the north and less in the south since the Qin and Han Dynasties. The population in the south increased rapidly, which promoted the rapid economic development of the south. This was the shift of the center of China's population distribution to the Yangtze River Basin. a landmark event.

(2) The "Anshi Rebellion" occurred in the Tang Dynasty. About 1 million people moved south, which fundamentally changed the pattern of China's population distribution centered on the Yellow River Basin. For the first time, the population distribution ratio between the north and the south of our country has reached equilibrium.

Occurred in the Northern Song Dynasty. In 1125, the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty and began to go south to attack the Northern Song Dynasty. The Yellow River Basin became the main battlefield.

After the above population migration, the population in the south has greatly exceeded the population in the north. South my country has become the most densely populated region in the country. At the same time, the social economy in the south of the Yangtze River Basin has developed greatly. It is said that the transfer of my country's population center and cultural center from the Yellow River Basin to the Yangtze River Basin has been completed.

(6) "Going to the West and Entering the Guandong" Period

In old China in the late 19th century, after the invasion of Russian and Japanese imperialists, the two countries competed to expand their power in the Northeast, building railways, The plundering of resources requires a large number of laborers, thus forcing farmers in North China to go bankrupt and move to the Northeast, with the largest number of farmers in Shandong and Hebei provinces.
