They left their hometown, moved out of Hongdong County, Shanxi Province, and traveled all over China to find their future home.

In view of the inconvenient transportation at that time, almost all of them walked out on their feet, so why did they give up their homes under such difficult conditions and live and work in peace and contentment for generations?

Hong Tong-ren's Historical Experience

At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, large-scale military disasters and natural disasters occurred in the North China Plain and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. First, the Ming army led by Zhu Yuanzhang and the Yuan army fought to the death in this land, and then Zhu Yuanzhang's son Judy and Jianwen Emperor had a cruel battle for the throne. Jianwen Emperor made Nanjing its capital, which is known as the change of Jingnan in history.

In these two large-scale military disasters, natural disasters have continued year after year. Bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no crows in a thousand miles. The fertile North China Plain and Jiangnan water towns have become a mess, and some places have even become no man's land. In sharp contrast, the Sanjincheng area, especially the southern Shanxi area, has stable politics, abundant food and grass, and simple folk customs.
