Other information about ancient Huai immigrants

At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, the population of Shandong was equivalent to that of Shanxi, but the cultivated land area was much larger than that of Shanxi. Due to the flood of the Yellow River, the epidemic of disasters, the "Jingnan Campaign" and the army building in the north and south, it is one of the key provinces for immigrants to move in. The Hongwu dynasty was the largest immigrant in Shandong, followed by Yongle dynasty. Some people have emigrated to other countries. Judging from the records in genealogy and inscriptions, most of them are recorded as moving out of Hongdong, and some of them are moving out of other counties. There are documented immigrants in more than 80 counties in Shandong. In order to avoid the unstable factors in the immigrant areas, the government arranged for the immigrants to move with the same surname and family. The ancestor of Niujia in Shuiwan Township, Wudi County moved to Haifeng (Wudi) in the second year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty. According to the legend of our ancestors, when we left, we smashed a cauldron under the locust tree in Hongdong, and each person took a piece of broken iron as a souvenir, which was called "beating the pot cow". 1956, an ancient tomb was discovered in Jining, Shandong Province. The coffin didn't rot, and neither did the shroud. The paper reads: "Guo Xuan of the Ming Dynasty moved from Hongtong County, Shanxi Province to the south gate of Jeju fifteen years ago. At the age of 56. " It can be proved that there were descendants of Guo among the immigrants who moved from Shanxi to Shandong in the Ming Dynasty. However, due to the separation of roads, even if Guo moved to Shandong at the same time, his residence was quite scattered, and it was difficult to get in touch for quite some time. The Guo family in southern Hebei and northern Shandong gradually learned about each other's whereabouts after they moved from Hongdong, Shanxi for several years in the second year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty, and compiled a genealogy of the Guo family with the surname Guo who moved together as the whole ancestor.
