When did Huguang fill Sichuan?

Huguang's filling of Sichuan occurred in the Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty (1662- 1722).

1. Huguang filling Sichuan refers to a large-scale immigration that took place in the Qing Dynasty. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, the beginning of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, the population dropped sharply due to the war. Therefore, from the central government to the local government, a series of measures have been taken to attract foreign immigrants, and large-scale population immigrated to Sichuan to save and revitalize the land of abundance. Among them, Huguang Province has the largest population, and Hakka immigrants are the second largest immigrant group after Huguang people. Huguang immigrants and Hakka immigrants accounted for 40% and 33% of the total population of Sichuan at that time, respectively.

Second, the impact

1. A large number of immigrants have brought different regional cultures and lifestyles to Sichuan and injected fresh blood into Sichuan. Even Sichuan's unparalleled appeal and assimilation power come from the thick immigrant culture.

2. A large number of immigrants led to the reclamation of Sichuan agricultural reclamation from the original plain wasteland to the middle of hilly and mountainous areas, and the reclamation scope reached the top of hilly and upper half-mountainous areas. At that time, mountainous areas prevailed and terraced fields appeared. The negative effects were serious soil erosion and the disappearance of forest vegetation and species.
