Why did the ancestors of China people go to Nanyang?

Because: At the end of the feudal dynasty in China, ordinary people who could not bear the war and former nobles who lost their power emigrated overseas. Due to its geographical proximity, Southeast Asia has become a place of immigration and refuge for China immigrants. Therefore, this migration is called "Lower Nanyang" in history.

In the modern history of China, there were three major waves of immigrants, namely, going to Kanto, going to the west and going down to Nanyang.

Lower Nanyang can be traced back to the Han Dynasty at the earliest, but according to its characteristics and meaning, it mainly refers to the Ming Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty.

People who go to Southeast Asia mainly come from Guangdong and Fujian, and their destination is Southeast Asia.

Lower Nanyang: Nanyang includes Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar and other places. Refers to refugees who have crossed the ocean to make a living in Southeast Asia. The refugees from Lower Nanyang come from most provinces and regions in China, but Fujian and Guangdong people account for an absolute majority.

Specific reasons:

Lower Nanyang, Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan provinces are also called "national vassals", which belong to Fujian-Guangdong dialect and refer to making a living in Nanyang.

1. During the historical period from the end of Ming Dynasty to the end of Qing Dynasty, civil wars continued and the people were poor. At that time, people in Fujian and Guangdong were terrified, poor and poor, with a large population and little land, and the lives of ordinary people were extremely difficult to maintain. In order to make a living, maintain family life, change the fate of individuals or families and avoid war, ordinary people in Fujian and Guangdong went to Nanyang to make a living in batches again and again. According to the survey of China Pacific Society 1935, 69.95% of the refugees went abroad because of "economic oppression". At that time, some people who went to Nanyang were full of hope for the future, while others could not stay in their hometown.

2. Generally speaking, in the last years of China's feudal dynasty, most of them were accompanied by peasant uprising, foreign invasion and dynasty change, and ordinary people who suffered from war and lost their political power emigrated overseas. Due to its geographical proximity, Southeast Asia has become a place of immigration and refuge for China immigrants.

3. Nanyang under British and Dutch colonial rule is in the process of accelerated development, and the demand for labor is very great. South Asian countries to attract China? Workers have successively introduced a series of preferential policies. For example, Sarawak, Malaysia's largest state, issued a special notice during the reign of Pope II: give immigrants enough free land for planting, politics? The government provides temporary housing to resettle immigrants; Free supply of rice and salt for one year; Provide transportation and set up police force? The inspection bureau protects the safety of Chinese, who can live permanently in Sarawak. Such a policy is very attractive to unemployed refugees who have lost their land in China. It was at this time that many people traveled across the ocean to Nanyang, either with their wives or alone.

Culturally, the Chinese nation is a farming nation. The biggest feature of farming people is that they like to stick to one acre and three points, and are willing to live a quiet life of "wife and children fever". It really takes a lot of courage to be a wanderer far from home, work hard and explore the new world.
