Historical background of tile dam

More than 600 years ago, 300,000 Raozhou immigrants moved from Waxieleng, Lianhu Township, Poyang County to Anhui, Hubei Province, becoming one of the two major immigrant distribution centers in China in the early Ming Dynasty. The tile fragments in Lianhu Township record the history of great immigrants.

1368, Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty. In order to govern the country, Zhu Yuanzhang formulated and promulgated a series of measures to restore production development. One of the most important is to emigrate to areas where the population has dropped sharply due to war and famine. As a result, a large number of immigrants moved to Anhui, Hubei, Henan and other places from a place called Waxieba by the beautiful Poyang Lake in Jiangxi.
