When did "Huguang fills Sichuan" begin?

1. The main period for Huguang to fill Sichuan occurred in the 21st year of Qianlong (1756) to the 34th year (1769). This period was the peak of this activity, and from Kangxi period to Daoguang period, a large-scale migration of population was completed.

2. Huguang's filling in Sichuan refers to a large-scale immigration that took place in the Qing Dynasty. According to research, residents of more than a dozen provinces such as Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangxi are also among the immigrants. At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Chongqing and Sichuan experienced many wars, resulting in a sharp drop in population. The governor of Sichuan wrote to the imperial court, and the Kangxi government adopted policies and adopted a series of measures from the capital to the local government to attract foreign immigrants, among which Huguangxing Province has the largest population.

Taking Chengdu, Sichuan as an example, the Overview of Chengdu in the late Qing Dynasty recorded that "Chengdu people today are all from other provinces"; Among them, Huguang accounts for 25%, Henan Shandong 5%, Shaanxi 10%, Yunnan Guizhou 15%, Jiangxi 15%, Anhui 5%, Jiangsu and Zhejiang 10%, Guangdong Guangxi 10%, and Fujian.

3. The large-scale migration of "Huguang filling Sichuan" has caused the exchange and infiltration of regional cultures, brought different regional cultures and lifestyles to Sichuan, and injected fresh blood into Sichuan. Even Sichuan's unparalleled appeal and assimilation power comes from the thick immigrant culture. Today's Sichuan dialect is not the ancient Shu dialect, but the "Huguang dialect" after Huguang filled Sichuan. "Huguang filling Sichuan" has a direct damage to the ecological environment in Sichuan, and natural disasters occur frequently after immigration.
