Immigrants from Liushuwan to Yunnan

There are many articles about where the Han people living in Yunnan today come from:

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty once ordered generals Fu Youde, Aquamarine and Mu Ying to lead 300,000 troops from Nanjing to Yunnan. After pacifying Yunnan, Zhu Yuanzhang appreciated Mu Ying very much and saw his great contribution, so he sent Mu Ying to stay in Yunnan to guard the territory. In order to consolidate the territory and promote the development of Yunnan, Mu Ying personally returned to Nanjing around the fifteenth year of Hongwu, recruited craftsmen in Nanjing, and personally went to Yunnan to reclaim wasteland and build water conservancy projects. Among the Ming army and craftsmen brought by Mu Ying, some officers and men took their families, while others intermarried with Yunnan locals. From then on, they reclaimed land, had children and lived in Yunnan.

Secondly, because Willow Bay is close to the southeast of the Ming Palace Museum, it belongs to the forbidden area of the imperial city. Therefore, the troops stationed in this area and the residents living there became Zhu Yuanzhang's worries. Some officials, businessmen and people who committed crimes or were forced to add crimes were sent to Yunnan, a barren land. In this way, residents living in Liushuwan naturally become the main targets of immigrants. At that time, Liuye Bay was close to the southeast of Ming Palace, which was within the forbidden area of Miyagi, so people living here suffered inevitable demolition, so many people living in Liuye Bay followed Mu Ying to Yunnan.

After the Qing Dynasty, the Liushuwan area was once changed to a garrison camp, and after Shunzhi, it was stationed in the Eight Banners of Manchuria (hence the name Lan Qi Street). After it became a military camp, people in Liushuwan moved out more. As a result, at present, there are at least hundreds of thousands of people in southwest provinces such as Yunnan, Sichuan and Guizhou who are descendants of Nanjing immigrants in the past. Most of their ancestral homes are in Liu Shu Bay, which can be said to be the base camp of Nanjing immigrants.

The data of Liu Shu Bay compiled by Nanjing Geographical Names Office also shows that Liu Shu Bay was originally a piece of land, and its name has been abolished. It used to be located in the southeast corner of Nanjing City and the southeast side of Ming Emperor City, and now it is around Lan Qi Street and the west exit of Guanghua East Street. Willow Bay is named after its location in the bend of Dayanggou River, where many willows are planted.

At present, there are 23 lists of the first batch of old place names protected by Nanjing, including Yuancheng and Heimoying in Xuanwu District. Baixia district's Huapailou, Jixiang Street, Liushuwan, Shouxing Bridge, Wangxian Bridge and Shengping Bridge; Qinhuai District East Attached City, Changganli, Yongchangli, Shangjiang Kaobang, Wanzhu Park, Shawan, Pigment Square, Copper Square, Tiefang, Xinghua Village and Phoenix Terrace; Wang Sishan, Gulou District; Jiangcheng, Huangtiandang in Qixia District and Xinlin in Yuhuatai District.
