Where is Shanxi guohuai?

Shanxi guohuai is located in hongdong county, Linfen city, Shanxi province. Sophora japonica in Shanxi, also known as Sophora japonica in Hong Tong and Sophora japonica in ancient times, is the only holy place in China with the theme of "seeking roots" and "offering sacrifices to ancestors". Now the ancient pagoda tree is a national 5A-level tourist attraction in China and a cultural relic protection unit in Shanxi Province. "Sophora japonica" is a witness to the historical facts of immigrants, and it is also the hometown in the minds of immigrants. Up to now, a folk song is still circulating in Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Northeast China and other regions: "Ask me where my hometown is, the Sophora japonica in Hongdong, Shanxi. What is the name of the ancestral home, the old man's nest under the big locust tree? "

The migration of Sophora japonica in Hongdong began at the end of Northern Song Dynasty, and reached its climax in Hongwu and Yongle in Ming Dynasty, which lasted until the middle of Qing Dynasty. It lasted more than 700 years, from the first year of Guo Jing in Jianzhong, Song Huizong to the 25th year of Jiaqing, Qing Dynasty.

The great migration between Hongwu and Yongle in Ming Dynasty was the largest, widest, organized and planned migration in China history. In order to consolidate the economic foundation of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang practiced the system of reclaiming land and rewarded the people, army and businessmen who reclaimed land.

This has certain historical significance for resuming production, increasing population, developing economy, developing frontier areas and cultural exchanges. The migration lasted for 50 years, involving 1230 surnames, and hundreds of millions of immigrant descendants migrated from here to various places.
