Historical records of Gaocheng people

1980 found a stone tablet in Jinzhuang Village, Gaocheng, engraved with "A Preface to Remembering the Ancestors". In the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, I was ordered to move to the mainland from other provinces. My ancestor Li Gongzhe was also from Hongtong County, Shanxi Province. It has been 500 years since Zhao Feng moved to Jinzhuang Village, Gaocheng County, Zhengding Prefecture, Zhili. The genealogy is lost and the order is difficult to remember. Because of the stone, we will never forget each other. "

There is also a record that "ancestors moved here from Hongdong, Shanxi Province to settle down" in the tombstone inscription of Sun Shi's ancestral grave in Nanchun, Gaocheng.

According to Ming Jiajing's "Gaocheng County Records", "Gaocheng experienced war, the population was exhausted and the land was barren, leaving only one third of the old accounts. In the fourteenth year of Yongle, he moved to various households in Shanxi and lived in the city. " In the inscription on the tombstone of Zhang Gong, the minister of punishments, and in the anthology of this magazine, there are "Zhang Gong, who is taboo about Qin, respects his words and respects his posthumous title." Formerly a native of Daizhou, Shanxi Province, Emperor Wen moved to Youhu, Shanxi Province during the Yongle period. My great-grandfather who was afraid of naming was really moved. So I was in Wujiazhuang, Gaocheng, full of ancestors, cutting waste and ploughing more than 1000 acres. "and other records.

"Gaocheng Local Geography" also states that "My city was the throat of the north and south in Liao, Jin, Song and Yuan Dynasties. The confrontation reached a crossroads and the army horse was ravaged. As a result, the people fled, so the land was barren and the population was sparse. Ming Chengzu ascended the throne and ordered the people of Shanxi to move to the city. "

According to the Ming History, Shanxi people moved to Hebei in the second and fourteenth years of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty.

The assembly place of the relocated people is Guangji Temple in Hongtong County, Shanxi Province. There is an ancient pagoda next to the temple, and there is an old man's nest on the tree. Immigrants regard this as a symbol of their hometown and pass it on from generation to generation. Therefore, it is widely spread that Qiu Ren's ancestors moved from his old nest in Hongtong County. People think that people whose toenails are split in two are descendants of immigrants.
