In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Sichuan implemented "Guangdong and Guangxi to fill Sichuan" because of the sharp drop in population. Then why doesn't Sichuan speak Cantonese?

Sichuan was called the land of abundance in ancient times. This is because Sichuan is located in the Sichuan Basin, with fertile land, abundant rainfall and naturally high grain output. In particular, the ancient society was an agricultural society, which advocated farming as the main means of social production, and the population was naturally dense.

Because of its superior natural resources, Sichuan has always been a battleground for military strategists in history and a place where local separatist forces are deeply rooted. Because Sichuan was an ideal habitat for local governors or exiled regimes in ancient times, this place was easily affected by war. Especially in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, this area was sparsely populated due to the massacre. Because of the small population, it exists naturally? Guangdong, Guangxi and Sichuan? Immigration policy.

Guangdong, Guangxi and Sichuan? Are you online? Guangdong and Guangxi? It refers to the ancient Huguang area, that is, the two lakes area today, that is, Hunan and Hubei. Although Huguang area carries one? Hiro? But it is completely different from Guangdong, and the folk customs are very different. For example, in Huguang area, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Chu was located, and Jingchu culture was popular. Guangdong and Guangxi are Guangxi and Guangdong, and they are Lingnan areas. The pre-Qin period was the land of Baiyue, which was occupied by Baiyue ethnic minorities and has never been included in the category of Central Plains culture.

Due to different cultures, there are also differences in language characteristics between Guangdong and Guangxi, and between Hubei and Guangzhou. For example, many people in Huguang speak Southwest Mandarin, and many people in Guangdong and Guangxi are popular in Cantonese. So Huguang people can't speak Cantonese in Sichuan.

At that time,? Huguang fills Sichuan? It is to move the refugees who love Hunan and Hubei or the poor peasants who have no land to Sichuan and other places, give these peasants land and land, and let these immigrants settle in Sichuan and reproduce.

The war that had the greatest influence on Sichuan's population decline in history was the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. At that time, Zhang, the leader of the peasant uprising army, was defeated by the officers and men of the Central Plains, and finally fled to Sichuan to establish a separatist regime. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Central Plains was far away from the war, but Sichuan was still the entrenched place of anti-Qing forces. In the protracted war of the Qing Dynasty to encircle the anti-Qing forces in Sichuan, coupled with the outbreak of plague, the population of Sichuan fell to the lowest point in history.

Ten years of Kangxi, until forty-one years of Qianlong, passed a hundred years of history. Huguang filled Sichuan, restored the population of Sichuan and increased the population.

In fact, the population of Sichuan dropped sharply in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and not all of them died after the war. Many Sichuanese also went to Hubei in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and Hunan near Hubei to live along the Yangtze River that runs through Sichuan. Therefore, the important task of the population policy in the early Qing Dynasty was to urge these Sichuanese in Huguang area to return to their original Sichuan as soon as possible. Therefore, the population base of Sichuan is still the same as that of Sichuan, and it is normal for Sichuan's Southwest Mandarin to be popular instead of Cantonese.
