What do you know about China's four great migrations in modern times?

China people crossed the ocean and took root in Wan Li. In modern China, the period of population explosion and national transformation and development led to social unrest, and many people were forced to leave their hometown to make a living in other places. During this period, there were four large-scale population migrations, which took root and sprouted in other places, and some even crossed the ocean, writing the history of China people's tears when they went to the world.

The first is the East View, which refers to Shanhaiguan. Guandong refers to the northeast area east of Shanhaiguan, including Liaoning, Kyrgyzstan, Heilongjiang and parts of Inner Mongolia. To the east means that people in the pass go to the northeast outside the pass to make a living. Kanto region was once the place where the royal family flourished in the Qing Dynasty. After the Qing army entered Beijing as its capital, the population of kanto region dropped sharply, and the Qing government also implemented a feudal policy towards kanto region. In the late Qing Dynasty, thousands of farmers began to venture to kanto region to make a living. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the trip to Northeast China lasted from the late Qing Dynasty to the founding of New China. They go hand in hand by land, with a total population of more than 40 million people coming to take root in this strange land in Northeast China. Now many friends in Northeast China can see in their genealogy that their ancestors once settled in this land.

The second is to take the west exit. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the population of the Central Plains increased sharply, but the local soil quality deteriorated, natural disasters occurred frequently, and the contradiction between man and land became increasingly prominent. With the arrival of the Little Ice Age in the Ming Dynasty, residents south of the Great Wall found it difficult to survive, so local residents were forced to make a living elsewhere. In the Qing Dynasty, Mongolia was incorporated into Chinese territory. With the deep integration of long-term farming civilization and nomadic civilization, the agricultural civilization of the Central Plains began to expand to the north of the Great Wall, and countless people from Shaanxi, Gansu, Shanxi, Hebei and other places left their homes, opening up economic and cultural channels between the Central Plains and Mongolian grasslands. In a narrow sense, going west refers to some exits north of the Great Wall, including Shahukou in Shanxi, Hukou in Shaanxi and Dushikou in Hebei. These places are trade distribution centers in the west, where merchants from Mongolia and the Central Plains engage in agricultural and commodity transactions, and at the same time promote the population, economy and cultural exchanges between the Central Plains and Mongolian grasslands, making great contributions to the great ethnic integration of China.

The third is to go to Nanyang. Nanyang refers to Southeast Asia and some surrounding areas. South Asia's footprint extends to South Vietnam in the north, Solomon Islands in the south and the Philippines in the east. Xining, Sri Lanka. Nanyang, the only place on China's Maritime Silk Road. As early as the Ming Dynasty, the famous Zheng He went to the West. After the opening of the era of great navigation, Nanyang was discovered by western powers and became famous in one fell swoop, and then attracted a large number of China people to develop it. During the Second World War, many overseas Chinese provided great help to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in China. Today, Guangdong and Fujian provinces still have the highest proportion of overseas Chinese in China, and many overseas Chinese in Nanyang come from here.

The fourth is Fujin Mountain, where a large number of Chinese have left their homes and come to look for opportunities to change their destiny. As a result, their dreams were finally shattered, and most of them became cheap labor for capitalists. Many people in China never went back to their hometown until their death. A considerable number of Chinese who survived by luck took root in San Francisco and have since lived in the United States thousands of miles away. Today, San Francisco has the second largest Chinatown in the United States, second only to Los Angeles, and it is one of the main concentrations of Chinese in the United States. These four population migrations reflect the indomitable enterprising spirit of the Chinese nation under the background of the times. Although they are all extremely hard histories of blood and tears, they have also brought rich historical wealth to today's China. Going east and going west not only promoted the great development of population and economy in China, but also made great contributions to the great ethnic integration in China. The mountainous area near Lower Nanyang has made China people go abroad and broadened their international horizons, which not only affected the modern development of China, but also affected the development of some parts of the world.
