The problem of filling Sichuan in Huguang

I suggest you have time to go to the provincial or municipal archives to check local chronicles. The government office has a special organization to collect and write local chronicles to understand history.

The following is taken from Baidu's entry:

"Huguang filling Sichuan" refers to the decades in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, due to wars, plagues and natural disasters, Sichuan's population dropped sharply and cultivated land was barren. Under this specific historical condition, in order to solve the problems of labor force and grain production in Sichuan, the Qing Dynasty adopted the measures of "reclaiming land for wasteland", and ten immigrants from Yu Sheng, such as Hubei and Hunan, settled in Sichuan one after another, with Hubei and Hunan being the most. According to statistics, this migration lasted for more than 100 years, and the number of people entering Sichuan was about one million, of which Hubei and Hunan provinces each accounted for half.

My ancestors were from Sichuan, and Zhu Yuanzhang was rushed to Shandong with his hands tied behind his back during the Hongwu period (the genealogy is recorded). My point of view is not one-sided:

Cultural blending is a good way to promote development, and good economic conditions are the foundation of cultural development. Sichuan just has this condition.

Mr. Fei Xiaotong generally believes that the Chinese nation itself is a pluralistic and integrated open system. It never determines a country by region or race, but by cultural identity. Moreover, Huguang and Sichuan are both Han people, and their cultural psychology is the same.

Sichuan aborigines and Huguang immigrants have contributed to the development of national culture and the promotion of national progress. We don't need to separate them, and we can't distinguish them clearly.
