The three most famous population movements in China.

The three most famous population movements in China's modern history were to South Asia, to the West and to the East. Among them, the geographical concept of Nanyang mainly refers to the vast area including today's 10 ASEAN countries. Due to its geographical proximity, Southeast Asia has become a place of immigration and refuge for China immigrants. The real "going to South Asia" began in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties and reached its climax in the late Qing Dynasty.

There are two situations to go west: First, because Shanxi had a large population at that time, life was more difficult. Second, due to the need of border defense in Inner Mongolia, some people went to Xikou to develop business outside Xikou.

The "westward journey" of Shanxi merchants and northern Shaanxi residents formed the Han population in the central and western Inner Mongolia today.

"Going East" is the abbreviation of China's immigration to the Northeast in modern times. Shandong, Hebei, Henan, Shanxi and Shaanxi are the most popular, among which Shandong is the most popular.
