Why did you go to Suzhou when you were sleeping?

This is related to the war between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng at the end of Yuan Dynasty. It is said that after the defeat of Zhang Shicheng, the king of Wu, Zhu Yuanzhang sent some people from Suzhou to Taizhou and Yangzhou. Due to political and traffic reasons, Suzhou people who were driven to Taizhou never returned to their hometown.

They can't get rid of homesickness. And the small bridges in the south of the Yangtze River, the homeland of people, can only become the dream water town. Finally, the dream of going back to my hometown was extended to one sentence-going to Suzhou.

Statement: Hong Wu drove away.

Yangzhou, Taizhou and Yancheng in northern Jiangsu have dialects called "Upper Suzhou" or "Upper Tiger Hill". It's normal not to have heard of it, because it's an old and seldom used expression.

At the end of Yuan Dynasty, Suzhou people were loyal to Zhang Shicheng, the king of Wu, and opposed Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhang Shicheng was born as a salt dealer. Later, after the 18-pole uprising, it grew bigger step by step, and finally occupied Suzhou and Jiangnan, named "Cheng Wang". Because he was very generous to the people under his rule, they all won the hearts of the people. At that time, there was a folk saying that "without Yang, I would not blame Taizhou Zhang when I died" (Zhang Shicheng was from Taizhou, Jiangbei).

When Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming army besieged Suzhou, Zhang Shicheng, a member of Suzhou Folk Gang, resisted tenaciously, especially in Nagato, Suzhou. This made Zhu Yuanzhang bear a grudge against Sunan people. Moreover, the soil in southern Jiangsu is fertile and there are many wealthy businessmen, among whom Shen Wansan is the representative. But at the same time, due to years of war, the population of Jianghuai dropped sharply. So, on the day when the city was broken, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the people in Nagato area of Suzhou to move to northern Jiangsu.

Since then, these people have left their hometown of Suzhou, and only in their dreams can they return to the place that haunts him and raises him. So I call sleeping "going to Suzhou" or "going to Tiger Hill".

According to the Records of Siyang County in the Republic of China, there were 25 clans, including Weng, Zhu, Lu and Wu, among which 2 1 clan moved from Suzhou. Up to now, the first sentence in the genealogy of many families in northern Jiangsu is "I am a master of Suzhou".
