History of Koreans in China

Korean is one of the ethnic minorities in China and a part of the Chinese nation. Mainly distributed in Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning provinces. The rest are scattered in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Jinan, Xi and Wuhan. Among them, most residents of Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture in Jilin Province use Korean and Korean. Chinese is widely used by Koreans living in mixed areas.

Early migration

Since the middle of19th century, more and more Koreans have moved in from the Korean peninsula, which is the main source of Koreans in China. Due to the cruel exploitation and oppression of the feudal ruling class in Korea at that time, especially the great disaster in northern Korea in 1869, some suffering Korean farmers crossed the Yalu River and Tumen River and came to China to reclaim land along the two rivers, where they lived together with the Han nationality, Manchu nationality and other ethnic groups. But at this time, the number of people moving in is not very large, most of them come in spring and go in autumn, and their residence is still unstable.

With the intensification of Japanese aggression against Korea, a large number of residents moved to the northeast frontier of China in order to find a way out, regardless of the ban of the Qing government. According to statistics, in 1870, there were 28 Korean-inhabited towns on the north bank of Yalu River. In the seventh year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (188 1), there were more than 10000 Koreans in Yanbian area. From 65438 to 0883, there were more than 37000 Korean residents in Ji 'an, Linjiang and Xinbin counties. During the same period, a large number of Korean farmers moved into the areas along the Wusuli River.

National integration

19 In the 1950s and 1960s, the Qing government still adopted the policy of prohibiting North Korean farmers from entering the country. Later, the policy of recruiting people to fill the sea was changed. 188 1 year, set up famine relief bureau in Jilin and reclamation bureau in Nangang (Hunchun), Yanji and Donggou to recruit immigrants. All the recruits are from China. 1885, the Qing government designated the northern bank of Tumen River, which is about 700 miles long and 50 miles wide, as a special reclamation area for Korean farmers, so as to facilitate a large number of Korean farmers to move to the northeast.

19 10, the Japanese annexed the Korean peninsula, and the Korean people and some patriots, unable to bear the cruel oppression and exploitation of imperialism, moved to the northeast of China in large numbers, reaching more than 360,000 in 19 18.
