Where did most of the population in Xingtang County of Shijiazhuang move in?

Sophora japonica in Hongtong County, Shanxi Province.

Shanxi Sophora japonica is located in Dahuashu Park on the west side of Jia Cun, two kilometers northwest of Hongtong County, Shanxi Province, China. It was the immigration base of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, many immigrants from Shanxi concentrated here and then moved to other provinces in batches. According to historical records such as Ming History and Shi Ming Lu, during the nearly 50 years from the sixth year of Hongwu (1373) to the fifteenth year of Yongle (14 17), the number of immigrants in Shaanxi was 18, of which 65438+ was in Hongwu period. These immigrants moved to more than 500 counties and cities, including Beijing, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hubei, Shaanxi and Gansu.

Legend has it that when immigrating, officers and men cut each little toenail with a knife. Up to now, the little toenails of the descendants of Sophora japonica immigrants are all complicated (two petals). "Who is the ancient locust who moved here? Take off your little toe and check the shape of your nails. " If you are interested, you may wish to check it yourself. At that time, in order to prevent immigrants from escaping, officers and men tied them up behind their backs, then connected them with long ropes and escorted them to the road. People look back step by step, and the adults look at the big locust tree and tell the children, "This is our hometown, this is our hometown." Today, descendants of immigrants say that the ancient pagoda is their hometown, no matter where they live. Because the immigrant's arm was tied for a long time, his arm became numb and he soon got used to it. Later, most immigrants liked to walk with their hands behind their backs, and their descendants also followed this habit. On the way to escort, because of the long distance, people often have to pee, so they have to report to the officers and men: "Sir, please help yourself, I have to pee." The more times, the more simplified the verbal request. As long as you say "Sir, I want to relieve myself", everyone will understand that you have to pee. Since then, "jieshou" has become synonymous with peeing.
