Lushi immigrated to Guizhou

There is a big pagoda tree in Hongdong, Shanxi, but there seems to be no pagoda tree in Sichuan. The legends in our place all come from the big locust tree in Shanxi.

In the early Ming Dynasty, these six immigrants all migrated from the surrounding areas of Hongdong, Shanxi, and all went down to the big locust tree in Hongdong to register. These immigrants later went to Shandong and other places and passed down over time. For example, many people in Henan and Shandong say it is Sophora japonica in Hongdong, Shanxi. In particular, villages and towns in some places are called camps, which were immigrated by Sophora japonica.

Six Immigrants in Early Ming Dynasty

Things go back to the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, wars continued, which seriously damaged the social economy. In the early Ming Dynasty, many places in China, especially the north of Jianghuai, presented a desolate scene, with many people fleeing, the city walls were markets and the fields were deserted. Shandong, Henan and Hebei are the most severely damaged areas by the war.

In the early years of Yongle, the situation has not improved. The wounds of the war have not yet healed, and then a major natural disaster occurred. In the first year of Yongle (1403), there was famine in Zhili, Beijing, Shandong and Henan provinces. Geng Yin, a locust in Shandong. Ding you, Henan locust. In August of the second year of Yongle, lewd rain destroyed more than 5,000 feet in Beijing. In June 5438+10, the Yellow River burst and destroyed Kaifeng City.

Faced with this abnormal social and economic recession, Zhu Yuanzhang and Judy realized that if effective measures were not taken to reverse it, it would be very unfavorable to the new Ming Dynasty. Therefore, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to implement the policy of "opening up wasteland and guarding the border". At that time, as far as the north was concerned, Shanxi was less damaged by the war, with peaceful surroundings, favorable weather and abundant crops for many years. Especially in the vast areas along the Fenhe River, the land is abundant and the population is particularly dense. As a result, during the Hongwu and Yongle periods of the Ming Dynasty, the government moved a large number of people from the south of Shanxi.

According to the existing historical data, there were six people who moved from Shanxi in the early Ming Dynasty. These immigrants were not only moved to Shandong, Henan, Hebei and Beijing, but also moved far south of the Huaihe River. Today, there are many villages named after Shanxi County in Daxing and Shunyi counties of Beijing, such as Changziying, Tunliuying and Huozhouying.

Immigrants are mainly distributed in Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Beijing, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, and Hunan, and a small number have moved to northern Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia. These immigrants later moved to Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Xinjiang and Northeast China. This is unique in the history of China.

All the six Shaanxi immigrants had contacts with Sophora japonica in Hong Tong. According to historical records, people who moved from Shanxi in the early Ming Dynasty, no matter where they lived, should first concentrate in Hongtong County. In Jia Cun, Hongtong County, there is an ancient temple called Guangji Temple. There is a big pagoda tree next to the temple. The Ming government registered immigrants in Guangji Temple, "sent photos and Sichuan funds", and then moved here in batches. When people left Hongdong, everyone was sad and crying. They drag their children, help the old and the young, carry a laundry list on their shoulders and hold a broken stick in their hands; Some fill a bucket of living spring water (a kind of spring water in Hongtong County), some pinch a handful of Hongtong soil, and some hide some Sophora leaves. They turn around in three steps and turn around in five steps, which is extremely pitiful. When Guangji Temple gradually disappears from sight, people always want to find something memorable at the last glance as a sign of missing their hometown in the future. At this time, you can just see the ancient pagoda tree standing beside Guangji Temple. Sophora japonica is old and tall, with lush foliage and towering into the sky, shining with emerald light under the autumn sunshine. There is also a crow's nest on the tree, and the branches are high. As a result, the image of the old nest on this ancient locust tree was firmly printed in the hearts of all the relocated people. Later, with the passage of time, people passed on from generation to generation, from son to grandson, "Where did my ancestors come from? Shanxi Hongdong big locust tree. " "Ask me where my hometown is? Shanxi Hongdong Laowowo. " This has been handed down from generation to generation.

Today, Hong Tong Sophora japonica has become a tourist attraction. Tourists wear different clothes and speak different languages, but they all say, "This is my hometown!" " During the conversation, people smiled, which made the locust tree immersed in a happy atmosphere all day.
