What is the reason for the once famous immigration tide "Huguang fills Sichuan"? What is the impact on Sichuan?

The incident of Huguang filling Sichuan was an internal migration of China. At that time, the area of Huguang was actually our present Hubei and Hunan provinces. The reason for the migration was that the two lakes were at war in the Yuan Dynasty, but Sichuan was really not attacked by the war at that time. And because of the fertile soil and water conservancy projects like Dujiangyan, many people moved to Sichuan. At that time, the development level of Sichuan was not high, and many of them were barren land, which provided people with cultivated land.

Significance: In fact, it took 100 years for Huguang to fill Sichuan in history. Because the local climate and humidity in Sichuan are much higher than those in Huguang, many Sichuan dishes, Sichuan operas and other cultures with Sichuan characteristics have also begun to evolve. This is the result of cultural collision and integration in Sichuan in the past hundred years. Sichuan's local social structure and customs and culture have also been impacted and changed because of the increase in the number of immigrants. Finally, the familiar Sichuan culture was formed. It has also greatly developed the Sichuan area.

This more than 100 years is from the early Yuan Dynasty to the years of Kangxi, Qianlong and Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, because Mongolia broke the Southern Song Dynasty, Huguang area was the first to be affected, and a large number of people moved to Sichuan with the earthquake in Ming Dynasty. At that time, in the early Ming Dynasty, due to the high quality conditions and small population in Sichuan, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately asked Huguang people to move to Sichuan.

The most time Huguang filled Sichuan was in the Qing Dynasty, when Sichuan became a place of war because of Zhang, which led to a large number of people fleeing to various places, especially Huguang area. Then, in order to resume production in Sichuan as soon as possible, Kangxi, Qianlong and Jiaqing dynasties devoted themselves to moving the population of Huguang area into Sichuan. During this period, the number of people who moved in was far greater than those who moved in because of the war.

The above is the reason and process of Huguang filling Sichuan. I hope it helps you.
