Genealogy of the surname Liang in Nanchong City, Sichuan Province?

According to the "Yang Genealogy", during the Shaoxing period of the Song Dynasty, there was a Jinshi named Yang Yuangui. He was originally from Guangling. He moved to Nanguan, Guangdong because he held a local official position. Yang Yuangui therefore became the Yang family in Guangdong. One of the ancestors of the surnamed people. It can be seen that people with the Yang surname entered Guangdong relatively early. After the Southern Song Dynasty, the history of large-scale southward migration of the northern Han people basically ended, and was replaced by another migration after the southward migration. When we search for our roots and ancestors, we must consider these large migration backgrounds. For example, Yang Yuanshao, who had settled in Shishibi Village, Ning, Fujian Province, later moved to Meixian County, Guangdong Province and became a prominent family in Meixian County. During the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Anhui became the main battlefield during this period of war. The war reduced the population in this area by about 90%. After the war, we had to replenish the population in large quantities from Jiangxi and other places. At that time, some people claimed: "The Anhui people of today are no longer the Anhui people of the past." In the genealogy of the Yang surname in southern Anhui, you can often see records that the ancestors came from Jiangxi. The situation in Hunan and Hubei is similar to that of Anhui. A large number of people moved into these two places from Jiangxi and other places that were less affected by the war. At that time, Hunan and Hubei were collectively called Huguang. Historically, this population The great migration is called "Jiangxi fills Huguang". The situation in Sichuan is the most typical. As we have said before, people surnamed Yang had already entered Sichuan in the Han Dynasty, and celebrities came out in large numbers, and they moved in in subsequent dynasties. However, most of the people surnamed Yang in Sichuan today are not the descendants of those early immigrants. This is because of the war and chaos that occurred at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. Due to this disaster, only 20 to 30% of the local people remained. By the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, wars and chaos broke out again, and Sichuan's population was reduced by more than half. After several rounds of blood exchanges, very few of Sichuan's original indigenous residents were left. Mr. Guo Moruo, my country's great modern and contemporary writer, is from Sichuan. His memoir "My Childhood" has a very vivid description of this. Guo Moruo said in his memoirs that his hometown in Sichuan is called "Shawan" and "more than 80%" of the residents in "Shawan" are migrants. Guo Moruo's own ancestors migrated from Ninghua County, Fujian, a famous immigrant distribution center, and they often had conflicts with the local Yang people. This work by Guo Moruo reads very rustic, and is very helpful for us to understand the family concept of surnames in rural areas at that time. The vast majority of modern Sichuan people migrated from neighboring provinces in the early Qing Dynasty, with the largest number of immigrants from Hunan and Hubei. Therefore, this great population migration was historically called "Huguang filled Sichuan". At the beginning, the immigrants were forced. It is said that during the escort, the immigrants had their hands tied with ropes. When they urinated, they had to ask the escorting officers and soldiers to untie their hands, which was called "relieving themselves." Later, as time went by, " "Relief" has become synonymous with going to the toilet. However, these early forced immigrants were a blessing in disguise. After they arrived in Sichuan, they discovered that Sichuan turned out to be a good place with good weather and abundant products. Once the news spread, latecomers did not need to be "invited" by the government with ropes. . Nowadays, we can often find records of people surnamed Yang migrating from Hunan and Hubei in some local chronicles and genealogies of Sichuan Province. Moreover, many people claim to have moved from Xiaogan Township, Macheng, Hubei in the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1369 AD). For example, "Zhongxian Surname Records" contains records that Yang Guying, Yang Jueshou, Yang Shihe and others, whose ancestral home was Xiaogan Township, Macheng, Hubei Province, moved to Zhongxian County in the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.
