What was the name of the Qing immigrants to Sichuan?

The Sichuan Basin, a land of abundance thousands of miles away, is as troubled as most parts of China. The historical population of Sichuan, Song Dynasty? There is no shortage of land, is there? , early Qing dynasty? The land is vast and sparsely populated? We can only rely on immigrants from other provinces to enrich the population. The population of Sichuan has changed dramatically.

What is the name of the historical event that had the greatest impact on the population of Sichuan during the sixty years in the early Qing Dynasty? Huguang fills Sichuan? This immigration movement. Since the first year of the self-evident apocalypse, perennial wars and natural disasters have led to a sharp decline in Sichuan's population, barren land and a decrease in the number of poor people. In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty who ruled stably regarded Sichuan as? Post-war settlement? , began to force the residents of Huguang area to immigrate here, which set off? Huguang fills Sichuan? Immigration tide.

Sichuan Immigrant Tide in Early Qing Dynasty

According to the county records of Sichuan at that time, the immigrant population in Sichuan was far superior to the original population, especially the immigrants from Huguang. In that case, why isn't Sichuan dialect influenced by Huguang dialect?

To solve this question, we should actually start with the formation of Sichuan dialect. Today, Sichuan Province is still dominated by Sichuan Mandarin, but many words in Sichuan Mandarin are not really Sichuanese. Judging from the actual situation of Sichuan dialect, what Sichuanese say today is actually different from what the ancients said? Bashu? Dialects, as far as vocabulary is concerned, are very different.

For example, Zhang wrote it in a new dialect? Written by Shi Yan II:? Sichuan is said to be tired today? , annotated as:? The Chu people call this fatigue? ; In Sichuan Mandarin? Discard or discard? Promise? Mixed? , and according to "Dialect" Volume 10 records:? ChuFan throwing things is mixed to eat? It is not uncommon for this different dialect to serve the current examples.

In fact, this also shows from the side that it is not that Sichuanese don't speak Huguang dialect, but that in the process of the formation of Sichuan Mandarin, Huguang dialect has been accepted and digested by Sichuanese for a long time and naturally merged into Sichuan dialect, which leads to the gradual weakening of its particularity and existence.

Although the popular Chinese dialect in Sichuan Province today is Sichuan Mandarin, there are reasons everywhere in Sichuan dialect, namely, Wang Yang Sea. Huguang fills Sichuan? Dialects brought by this historical wave of immigration.

In some areas of more than 20 counties and cities in western Sichuan, such as Xindu, Jintang, Guanghan and Wenjiang, the dialects they use are collectively called? Hakka? . Most of these Hakka speakers immigrated from Guangdong more than 200 years ago. Because they entered Sichuan late, most of them are now distributed in remote mountainous areas and flooded areas.

Especially the old people born before 1970s can not only understand the Hakka dialect in northern Guangdong and eastern Guangdong, but also communicate in Hakka dialect. Unfortunately, with the popularization of culture and education, many teenagers have long been unable to speak? Hakka? Perhaps in the near future, Hakka dialect will eventually be swallowed up by Sichuan dialect.

Migration route from Hubei to Sichuan

As for why Sichuanese don't speak Hubei dialect, it is because Hubei has immigrated to Sichuan for a long time, so Sichuan dialect is deeply influenced by Hubei dialect. After reading the dialect records, we will find that Chu dialect occupies a large part in Sichuan dialect, and some Chu dialects are very similar in pronunciation to Sichuan dialect. After a long time, these two dialects will eventually form Sichuan dialect based on Hubei dialect.

To sum up, due to the inclusiveness and openness of Sichuan dialect, coupled with the history of Huguang's great immigration to Sichuan, Sichuan dialect was finally established in the province, which led to Sichuan dialect replacing the dialects of other immigrants.
