My surname is Zhou. My home is in Dangshan County. Did you immigrate from the old nest under the big locust tree in Hongtong County, Shanxi Province? Is there a more detailed statement?

According to the first series of Dangshan Literature and History Data, a large number of Shanxi immigrants moved out in the early Ming Dynasty, including seven in Hongwu period (1368- 1399), three in Yongle period (1403- 1425).

Dangshan is also here. At that time, Shanxi was the base of Timur, a Mongolian famous soldier named Chahan Timur and his adopted son, who survived the war. In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang emigrated overseas to consolidate his political power and resume production. The Ming government concentrated immigrants in an ancient temple in Jia Cun, north of Hongtong County. The locust tree in Hongtong County is the hometown of Shanxi immigrants.

Zheng, Kun and Peng were originally from Yulin Fair, liu lin cun, Datong District, Shaanxi Province. In the seventh year of Yu Hongwu (1374), immigrants were ordered to move their families eastward. Going to Ningling County, Henan Province, Master Kun's family was dispersed by wolves.

Zong, Zheng and Peng left a small temple in the grass fifty miles south of the city, and lived here, named the temple. Ancestors have settled here (1374- 1987) for 6 13 years.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the immigrants from Hongdong and other places in Shanxi mainly distributed in Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Beijing, Anhui, Jiangsu and Hubei, and a few moved to Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia. Immigrants who moved from Shanxi to the above places later moved to Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Xinjiang and northeast provinces.
