The population of Lianping County

The vast majority of the population in Li Anping is descended from the Han nationality in the Central Plains. People lived in this county in the late Neolithic period. After the Zhou Dynasty, most residents in the county were Hakkas and a few were aborigines. Hakka ancestors once lived in the Central Plains, but due to war and other reasons, they have migrated to Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong and other places many times since the Sui and Tang Dynasties. From Sui Dynasty to Qing Dynasty, Hakkas moved into county towns, mostly from Fujian and Jiangxi in the early Ming Dynasty. During the Republic of China, a small number of residents moved in Meixian District, Xingning, Wuhua and other places in Meizhou City, eastern Guangdong Province. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were few foreign immigrants, only some reservoir immigrants and a few people who moved to the county seat because of marriage or work.
