Why do people who travel eastward choose the cold northeast instead of the rich Jiangnan?

Running around is one of the five major migration events in modern China, which mainly refers to a large number of mainlanders leaving their homes and moving from inland provinces to the cold northeast.

This population migration lasted for more than 300 years. Since the Qing Dynasty, people from the mainland have been migrating to the northeast. This kind of population migration reached its peak in the late Qing Dynasty and the period of warlord scuffle. In just 300 years, nearly 10 million people flocked to the northeast from mainland provinces.

The main force of this migration activity is Shandong people. Of every 65,438+00 people who go to the Northeast, eight or nine are from Shandong, and the Northeast lean Zhang was born in Shandong, and he also went to the Northeast. A large number of Shandong people migrated, resulting in a sharp increase in the population in Northeast China. In Dalian alone, due to the influx of immigrants, its population has increased eight times in just 30 years from 1903 to 1935.

1. Why do Shandong people travel to the East?

Who would want to leave their homes if life didn't force them?

Shandong people are forced to travel to Kanto because of their lives. During the Qing Dynasty, the population of China surged from tens of millions to 300 million. With the increase of population, land cannot be increased, and farmers have insufficient land for farming. Without enough land, they can't produce food and eat enough. Therefore, Shandong people want to move to the sparsely populated northeast, so that they can support their families.

At the same time, in the late Qing Dynasty and the period of warlord scuffle, natural disasters and man-made disasters continued in Shandong, and wars and natural disasters were frequent. In order to raise money, warlords imposed exorbitant taxes on the people, and the people of Shandong were miserable and had to leave their hometown with tears.

Second, why don't Shandong people go to the rich south, but to the bitter and cold northeast?

1 to obtain cultivated land.

There is an important reason why Shandong people leave their hometown to travel to Kanto, that is, they have no land and their lives are unsustainable. But the south is also densely populated, and it is difficult for them to obtain land after taking the south, so their life is still relatively hard. However, in the northeast, after the Qing dynasty entered the customs, in order to protect them? The land of Longxing? , the implementation of the ban policy, prohibiting mainlanders from moving to the customs to open up wasteland.

In the Qing Dynasty, people from other provinces were not allowed to enter the customs. Originally, people from the northeast entered the customs with the Qing Dynasty, so there was a lot of idle land in the northeast. After Shandong people migrate, it is easy to obtain cultivated land. In the early and middle period of Qing Dynasty, Shandong people could not move to the northeast in large numbers because of the ban policy, but by the end of the Qing Dynasty, the ban policy had expired, so it became easy to go to the northeast, which also made the trip to the east reach its peak, and a large number of Shandong people moved to the northeast.
