When was the migration from Hongdong, Shanxi?

According to records, from the third year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1370) to the fifteenth year of Yongle (14 17), they went through formalities in Pingyang, Shuozhou, Zezhou, Fenzhou and other places in Shanxi, passed through the big pagoda tree in Hongdong County, Shanxi Province, and after receiving the "endowment", they immigrated to vast areas of the country.

In this way, in the early Ming Dynasty, millions of immigrants moved to all parts of the country through the big pagoda tree in Hongtong County. Its time, scale and influence are unprecedented not only in the history of China, but also rare in the history of world immigration.

Ancestor festival

199 1 In April, the first Rooting Festival of Sophora japonica was held in Hongtong. With the upsurge of reform, the activity of "root-seeking and ancestor-seeking culture" based on the relocation of ancient Sophora japonica has never been more active and vigorous.

The descendants of Sophora japonica in Kyushu and even the whole world are homesick for their roots, and the wave of returning home to worship their ancestors is increasing day by day. In order to conform to this historical trend, the Hongdong County Party Committee and the county government held the first Hongdong Sophora Tree Rooting Festival to worship ancestors with the theme of "building a stage with culture and singing opera with economy".
