Why do you say that we all moved from Hongdong, Shanxi?

Things go back to the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, wars continued, which seriously damaged the social economy. In the early Ming Dynasty, many places in China, especially the north of Jianghuai, presented a desolate scene, with many people fleeing, the city walls were markets and the fields were deserted. Shandong, Henan and Hebei are the most severely damaged areas by the war.

In the early years of Yongle, the situation has not improved. The wounds of the war have not yet healed, and then a major natural disaster occurred. In the first year of Yongle (1403), there was famine in Zhili, Beijing, Shandong and Henan provinces. Geng Yin, a locust in Shandong. Ding you, Henan locust. In August of the second year of Yongle, lewd rain destroyed more than 5,000 feet in Beijing. In June 5438+10, the Yellow River burst and destroyed Kaifeng City.

Faced with this abnormal social and economic recession, Zhu Yuanzhang and Judy realized that if effective measures were not taken to reverse it, it would be very unfavorable to the new Ming Dynasty. Therefore, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to implement the policy of "opening up wasteland and guarding the border". At that time, as far as the north was concerned, Shanxi was less damaged by the war, with peaceful surroundings, favorable weather and abundant crops for many years. Especially in the vast areas along the Fenhe River, the land is abundant and the population is particularly dense. As a result, during the Hongwu and Yongle periods of the Ming Dynasty, the government moved a large number of people from the south of Shanxi.

According to the existing historical data, there were six people who moved from Shanxi in the early Ming Dynasty. These immigrants were not only moved to Shandong, Henan, Hebei and Beijing, but also moved far south of the Huaihe River. Today, there are many villages named after Shanxi County in Daxing and Shunyi counties of Beijing, such as Changziying, Tunliuying and Huozhouying.
