Why are Hangzhou people called Yuhang?

Hangzhou people are called "Yuhang" because Henan has a large population.

Knowing the population of Hangzhou will find that there are not many real "locals" in the local household registration certificate! A very important reason why Hangzhou people are called "Yu-Hang" in history is that during the Northern Song Dynasty, the capital moved from Kaifeng to Hangzhou, and a large number of northerners moved here. The southward migration in Song Dynasty was an important event in the ancient history of China. At that time, 76% of Hangzhou immigrants came from Henan, and most of them came from Kaifeng.

On the other hand, it means that modern Henan people went to Hangzhou to buy a house to live or work. According to local statistics, out of every 100 people who meet in Hangzhou, 16 people come from Henan, while only 18 people are "aborigines" in Hangzhou. Especially in recent years, there are more than 420,000 Henan people in Hangzhou. You know, the number of people going to Hangzhou from other places in Zhejiang Province is less than 6.5438+0.4 million, so naturally there is the saying of "Yu-Hang".
