Jingdezhen immigrants to northern Jiangsu

The Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty were bounded by the Huaihe River, which belonged to the Southern Song Dynasty in the south and gold in the north. It can be seen that Henan and Shandong provinces were controlled by Jin State, and most of northern Jiangsu was controlled by Southern Song Dynasty. Although most of the population and economic provinces at that time were controlled by the Jin State, the economic aggregate of the Jin State was still not as much as that of the Southern Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was the moderns with rapid economic and technological development in ancient China. According to "Miscellanies of Officials and People since the Foundation of Yan", the annual income during the prosperous period of the Northern Song Dynasty was 60 million yuan, and it was 65.3 million yuan at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, slightly higher than that of the Northern Song Dynasty. Lin 'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, was the political, economic and cultural center at that time. There is an endless stream of cargo ships from Zhejiang and other counties. In addition, Pingjiang, Jiankang, Ezhou, Jiangling and other cities along the river have developed handicrafts and commerce. The market is more common than in the Northern Song Dynasty. There are 800 markets in Guangdong alone, which reflects the prosperity of business from one side. Domestic trade in the Southern Song Dynasty was relatively developed. The Southern Song government set up markets along the Huaihe River and the western border, which were called monopoly markets. In addition to the market, there are a large number of private transactions among the people. Bronze mirrors made in Huzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty were found in tombs in Jilin and Inner Mongolia. Books carved in Fuzhou have also been found in the site of Heishui City in western Inner Mongolia. As for Jingdezhen and Longquan porcelain, it is found all over the country. Overseas trade in the Southern Song Dynasty also surpassed that in the Northern Song Dynasty. At the end of Emperor Gaozong's reign, scholar's income reached 2 million yuan, more than twice the income of 630,000 yuan in the Northern Song Dynasty. Due to the development of commerce and foreign trade, the demand for currency casting is in short supply. In foreign trade, a large number of copper coins flowed out. Paper money is increasingly replacing copper coins as the main means of exchange. During the coexistence of Song and Jin Dynasties, water conservancy in the south greatly surpassed that in the north. The history book says: "After crossing the south, the benefits of paddy fields are rich in the Central Plains, so water conservancy is built." (History of the Song Dynasty, Records of Food Goods) In addition to repairing long-neglected water conservancy projects, many new projects have been built. The area of polder fields in the Southern Song Dynasty was expanded. For example, in Dangtu, Wuhu and Fanchang counties, the area of polder fields accounts for 89/ 10 of the farmland in the county. Xuancheng county has 179 polder fields. In addition, a large number of farmland, Shatian and terraced fields have been reclaimed, and the area of farmland has been increasing. Agricultural production technology is also the most advanced in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, followed by Sichuan. Farmers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang dig deep into the land, making the soil as thin as the surface. In midsummer, it is called "relying on the field", so that the field water can bask in the sun and the seedlings can be firmly rooted; After the roots of the seedlings are strong, use the car to "backwater" into the field. After that, in case of drought, a bumper harvest can be guaranteed. At that time, five or six stones were collected from the advantageous fields. The proverb "Suzhou and Shanghai are ripe, and the world is sufficient" came into being.
