History of overseas Chinese immigrants.

The migration of China people can be traced back to ancient times more than 2,000 years ago. As early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, China had the Silk Road to the Western Regions and ships sailing to Japan, some of whom lived in other places. Only in the Tang Dynasty, more China people settled abroad, which can be regarded as the beginning of the history of overseas Chinese.

Throughout 1300 years, the history of China people emigrating overseas can be roughly divided into four periods:

In the first period, from the Tang Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty (6 18- 1270), overseas Chinese gradually appeared. During this period, China's feudal commodity economy was quite developed, but Southeast Asia was still relatively backward, so many Chinese businessmen went to Southeast Asia to engage in trade. Some of them settled down locally and became the first generation of overseas Chinese.

The second period, from Yuan Dynasty to the middle of Qing Dynasty (127 1- 1840), was a period when overseas Chinese went abroad in large numbers and their social and economic foundation in the host country was gradually established. During this period, the opening of the maritime ban in Ming Dynasty promoted the further development of overseas trade.

Some parts of Southeast Asia have become colonies or trade relay places of western countries, and are in urgent need of cheap labor and handicrafts from China, thus attracting more Chinese businessmen and bankrupt farmers, fishermen and craftsmen to go abroad.

In addition, Zheng He, the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, led a fleet of more than 20,000 people to visit more than 30 countries and regions in Asia and Africa, which enhanced the friendship between China and Asian and African countries and created better conditions for China people to go abroad for business and immigration.

The third period, from the Opium War to the eve of liberation (184 1- 1949). It is the climax of large-scale immigration of overseas Chinese. During this period, the number, scale, distribution and experience of overseas Chinese going abroad were unprecedented.

The reason is nothing more than domestic and foreign. At home, because of political darkness, constant wars and economic bankruptcy, people are in dire straits and are eager to find a way out. In foreign countries, there is an urgent need for a large number of cheap labor because of the crazy economic plunder and development of imperialism to the colonies.

As a result, batches of "contract Chinese laborers" (commonly known as "piglets") were sold abroad, which became the main way for China immigrants in this period. This kind of trafficking started at the end of 18. 65438+ reached its climax in mid-2009 and began to decline in the early 20th century. In the past 65,438+000 years, about 7 million people in China were trafficked all over the world, thus laying the foundation for overseas Chinese to spread all over the world today. The number of overseas Chinese in this period has reached120,000.

The fourth period, from the establishment of 1949 People's Republic of China (PRC) to the 1990s. During this period, the history of overseas Chinese going abroad in large numbers basically ended. However, due to the economic differences between the East and the West and the adjustment of immigration policies in the United States, Canada, Australia and other countries, many China people still emigrate by reuniting with their relatives and studying abroad. Many residents of Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong and Macau have also emigrated.
