A history of Sichuan immigration is also a history of blood and tears. Where do Sichuanese come from?

Sichuanese come from all over the country and have experienced generations of migration. The reason why a Sichuan immigrant is a history of blood and tears refers to the difficult process of people's migration. According to the Survey of Chengdu in the late Qing Dynasty, Sichuan immigrants include Huguang, Henan, Shandong, Shaanxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangxi, Fujian, Shanxi, Gansu and other places, almost all of them are immigrants from all over the country.

Among them, Sichuan experienced many dynasties of immigration. First, during the ancient war, people spontaneously moved to Sichuan in order to stay away from the war disaster. Secondly, according to the records, in order to encourage people to emigrate to Sichuan in the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court promulgated many policies to benefit people's livelihood. For example, farmers who move to Sichuan can get a fertile field and be tax-free for five years.

This was very attractive to many people who didn't have enough to eat at that time. I don't live well in the local area, and I don't have enough to eat and wear. Although the process of migration is very tiring, once the migration is successful, it will undoubtedly solve the big problem of survival, so many poor people have migrated in droves.

At that time, Sichuan was vast and sparsely populated, and the imperial court enfeoffed the land without any loss. On the contrary, people can reclaim land for free, killing two birds with one stone. There will be no good harvest in the early stage of land reclamation, and even if taxes are levied, they will not receive much, so they will simply be exempt from taxes to meet the survival of the people.

There was a saying that "Huguang fills Sichuan". It can be seen that many people responded to the imperial policy and got married and had children all the way to Sichuan. Coupled with the support of the government, he gave help on the way and went through various difficulties to form the present face of Sichuan.
