Talking about history, where are Shaanxi people basically from?

As ancient ancestors who lived by agriculture, they gave full play to their wisdom and relied on the rich water resources of the Yellow River to irrigate and nurture the Chinese nation. Relying on the geographical advantages and the influence of China's traditional theological culture, emperors of past dynasties chose the ancient cities in the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins as their capitals. Shaanxi Province, one of the ancient regions of China, has a civilized ancient city xi 'an, along the Yellow River, with developed agriculture. Known as "the land of Guanzhong" in ancient times, it is one of the most populous provinces in China.

Shaanxi, referred to as Qin for short, originated from the first dynasty in history-the Qin Dynasty, so most parts of Shaanxi Province were descendants of Qin people at that time. However, with the passage of time and the renewal of history, as an important place in the north, the population loss and migration integration in Shaanxi Province led to mixed population, and most Shaanxi people came from different regions.

In the history of Shaanxi, the post-war flight, the trend of ethnic integration and the restoration policy of the rulers led to population migration. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, domestic chaos and the occupation of Shaanxi by ethnic minority regimes prompted a large number of indigenous people in the Central Plains to move south, and the first great ethnic integration in history began. Ethnic minorities migrated to the Central Plains and intermarried with the Han nationality, resulting in different populations in many places.

The second migration was in the early Ming Dynasty. After many wars and uprisings in the previous dynasty, the population loss in the Central Plains was serious. In order to stabilize the rule and restore the economy, the rulers forcibly moved Shanxi people out, and most Shanxi immigrants entered Shandong and other sparsely populated areas.

The latest population migration occurred in the late Qing Dynasty, when war broke out in Shaanxi-Gansu area, causing people to be displaced and heavy casualties. The population of Shaanxi Province, which was at the center of the war, dropped sharply, and the Qing government transferred the population from Shandong, Hebei, Hubei and even Sichuan, so today's Shaanxi people are mostly immigrants and their descendants in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In addition, during the liberation war, there was a great famine in Henan, and a large number of Henan people moved westward. Many of them have settled in Shaanxi and become an important part of Shaanxi's population.

In short, Shaanxi people now come from all corners of the country and concentrate in the Central Plains.
