Why do Sichuanese like to recite?

Many people may have found a strange phenomenon in Sichuan. No matter in the park or in the street, you can see that older people like to put their hands behind their backs. Just put your hands behind your back, below your waist, hold the wrist of the other hand with one hand and walk slowly. Maybe friends from other places don't know what's going on, and even look funny. It does look like it's tied up. In fact, this is a source, and the legend is hereditary!

It's time to go back to my hometown for the Spring Festival this year. This family hasn't returned to their hometown for the New Year for almost ten years. I'm afraid there are many people who haven't returned to their hometown for the New Year like me for a long time. Several years later, when I went to the ancestral temple to worship my ancestors, I saw the scene with my hands behind my back even more spectacular. I was pulled over by memories again. . .

I still remember staying at home, it was sultry in summer, and I couldn't stay in the room at all. At night, I will enjoy the cool in the dam in front of my house. Grandpa shook the cattail leaf fan gently, while driving away mosquitoes, and told us the fascinating story:

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, many people died in Sichuan. Later, the Eight Kings Zhang came to destroy Sichuan again. Coupled with the plague behind, tigers eat people, so there are not many people left in Sichuan. The new governor of Sichuan wrote to the emperor, saying, "Sichuan is really a land of abundance, and the land is very fertile. If someone cultivates it, there will be great gains. " It's just that there are few people in Sichuan now, which is wasted. Ask the emperor to move some people to farm. "Anyway, the governor said a lot of good things about Sichuan, the purpose is to move some people quickly, otherwise it will become a long-term army. Because there were many things that tigers ate people in Sichuan at that time.

The emperor didn't delay when he saw the throne, so he asked the Ministry to see the place with the largest population in the country. Officials of the Ministry of Housing finally found that Huguang had the largest population and reported it to the emperor.

In this way, the emperor ordered Governor Huguang to move some people there. The official did not dare to delay the moment he received the imperial edict, and immediately called all counties to report the population. Finally, I found that there were the most Hakkas in all places, so I simply let them move.

This time, I am desperate for life. I heard that I was going to move to Sichuan, thousands of miles away, and I didn't know anything. Where are these people willing to move to? Crying and crying, making a scene, no matter what the officials say, they just don't move.

The county magistrate had no choice but to report to the state official, who then reported to the governor, who dared not report to the emperor. I have no choice but to give an order. If Wen can't do it, we will come to Wu. Ordered the villages to send a certain number of people to move, and sent officers and men to Sichuan.

In order to prevent people on the road from escaping, all the people were tied behind their backs with a long rope, one by one. These people have also left their homes all the way. . .

I think the habit of turning my back may also start from here. It's far from Huguang to Sichuan. I don't know how long they have been gone, so that they are not used to it later. Whether this is heredity or habit, whether there is forced immigration, but the habit of carrying hands behind one's back is real, which has to make people doubt his authenticity.
