Social value of westward advancement;

"Westward Journey" is a bitter history of immigration, but also a history of hard struggle and entrepreneurship. Groups of immigrants left their homes and came to Mongolia outside Beikou to develop Inner Mongolia.

With the process of "westward migration", Inner Mongolia outside the mouth has evolved from a traditional single nomadic society to a diversified society with both banner and county, grazing and farming. In this evolution process, Shanxi immigrants, as the main body of immigrants, have made great contributions.

Because Shanxi immigrants account for the vast majority of immigrants, the local immigrant culture is more characteristic of Jin culture, which can also be said to be the expansion of Jin culture in this area.

The flow of population promotes the spread of culture, which narrows the distance between regions and enhances the sense of identity between regions. The migration wave of "going to the west" has greatly promoted the exchanges between the central and western regions of Inner Mongolia and the mainland, further enhanced the national feelings of Mongolia and China, and had a certain positive impact on the prosperity and stability of our multi-ethnic country.
