Did the Qing Dynasty immigrate from Shanxi to Henan?

The migration from Shanxi to Henan dates back to the Ming Dynasty.

The Great Migration of Ming Dynasty lasted for 50 years, and the ways and steps of migration generally included repatriation, military, commercial and folk. More or less, they are forced to recruit, lure and send. As the saying goes: it is difficult for a poor family to give up, and it is difficult to leave their homeland. You said that the Central Plains was a good place, and no grain was collected for several years, but no one wanted to move there. There is no way but to formulate immigration regulations, according to "a family of four; Leave two for a family of six; A family of eight stays at the ratio of three.

According to historical records such as Ming History and Shi Ming Lu, from the sixth year of Hongwu (1373) to the fifteenth year of Yongle (14 17), there were 18 immigrants from Shaanxi, including Hongwu 10. These immigrants moved to more than 500 counties and cities in Yusheng, such as Beijing, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hubei, Shaanxi and Gansu. This organized large-scale migration lasted for more than 50 years, which is the largest migration movement to Henan in history!

There was an ancient tree in Guangji Temple in the Tang Dynasty in Hongtong County, and the postal road passed under it. So the Ming government set up a bureau in Guangji Temple to centrally handle immigration and distribute Sichuan-funded travel expenses and photos.

According to legend, when emigrating, many ordinary people are reluctant to move. At this time, the Ming government posted a notice to deceive the people, saying, "Those who don't want to move must wait under the big locust tree and arrive within three days. Those who wish to migrate can wait at home. "

Since then, I have left "Ask where my ancestors came from, the big locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi." What's the name of my ancestral home? The old man's nest under the big locust tree. "For hundreds of years, this folk song has been widely circulated in many parts of our country.
