An Shi Rebellion of Ancient Immigrants in China

In the Yellow River basin and its vicinity, "all famous cities are empty, and there are countless people without people". As a result, the proportion of the population in the Yellow River basin dropped from 80% to 60%, and the population distribution in the whole country was basically stable under this situation until the "Anshi Rebellion" in the middle of the Tang Dynasty.

In the 14th year of Tianbao (755), "An Shi Rebellion" caused a large number of people in the Central Plains to move south for the second time. "The world is dressed in clothes, avoiding Wu Dong, and Yongjia moving south is not here."

After the "An Shi Rebellion", the Central Plains was "desolate and desolate", and the official population was only about170,000, less than one-third of that before this historical event.

Although the war lasted only seven years (755-763), the people of the Central Plains did not stop moving south because of the end of the war. Until the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms period, the people of the Central Plains who moved southward were still facing each other. After the "An Shi Rebellion", the people of the Central Plains moved south, and the population ratio between the north and the south was balanced for the first time.
