When did the relocation of Hongdong begin?

Ask me where my ancestors came from, the locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi, what is the name of my ancestors' residence, and the old stork nest under the locust tree. "For hundreds of years, these folk songs have been handed down from generation to generation in vast areas of China, and women and children are well known. According to the "Hongdong County Records" of the Republic of China, "During the Ming Hongwu and Yongle years, Shanxi people moved to Chu, Hehe, Beiping, Shandong, Henan, Baoan and other places many times, and trees were the gathering place." And in the "Guangji Temple" set up a resident bureau and sent people to Sichuan to take photos of Zhao Zi. After 600 years of vicissitudes, descendants of ancient Huai immigrants have already spread all over China.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, due to more than ten years of war, natural disasters and epidemics, natural disasters and man-made disasters, people painted charcoal. After the Ming army drove the Yuan Dynasty to Mobei, many no-man's land appeared in the north, especially in Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It's really "white bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no chickens in a thousand miles." After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the urgent task was to restore and develop agricultural production. The first thing that needs to be solved is the land problem of the labor force. In view of this situation, the Ming government adopted the policy of immigration and reclamation, that is, the farmers in Shanxi Province, which is "vast in land and sparsely populated", moved to Hebei, Henan, Shandong and other places. But it's hard to leave home, so who doesn't miss his hometown? At this time, the Ming government widely posted notices to deceive the people, saying, "Those who don't want to move, please gather under the big locust tree and arrive within three days." Those who wish to migrate can wait at home. " After hearing the news, people rushed to the ancient trees. People from northern Shanxi came, and people from southern Shanxi and southeastern Shanxi also came. The third day. Thousands of people gathered around this ancient locust tree. They are busy getting married and having children, secretly praying that God will keep them safe. Suddenly, a large group of officers and men surrounded the unarmed people under the big locust tree, and several officers surrounded an official. The official announced loudly: "Emperor Daming has ordered that everything that comes under the big pagoda tree should be cleared away." This order came as a bolt from the blue. People were shocked, but they soon realized that they had been cheated. People cried, screamed, cursed, called for girls, and cried for their parents, but all this didn't help. Then the officers and men forced people to register and sent a photo. Every time they register, they ask the relocated households to take off their shoes and cut a knife on each little toe as a sign to prevent them from running away. People's cries are earth-shattering There is still a saying that the toenails of immigrant descendants were cut with a knife.

After the officers and men forced the people to register, they tied them behind their backs to prevent them from escaping, and then connected them with ropes to escort the immigrants on the road. People looked back step by step, and the adults looked at the big locust tree and told the children, "This is our hometown, this is our hometown." So far, the descendants of immigrants are their hometown no matter where they live. That's the reason. Because the immigrant's arm was trapped for a long time, he gradually became numb and soon got used to it. Later, most immigrants liked to walk with their hands behind their backs, and their descendants also followed this habit.

During the escort, because people often have to pee during the long journey, they have to report to the officers and men: "Sir, please relieve yourself, I have to pee." The more times, the simpler this oral request tends to be. Just say, "Sir, I want to relieve myself. Everyone knows that urinating is necessary. Since then, "jieshou" has become synonymous with peeing.

When the immigrants moved to their new residence, there was a wilderness everywhere, so they had to use their new hard hands to build houses and cultivate the land. No matter what they do, they will think of the mountains and rivers in their hometown. In order to send their hometown to their relatives, most of them plant locust trees at the entrance of their new homes to express their nostalgia for their hometown.
