Sichuan has a long history, in fact, it can be seen from the Sanxingdui ancient cultural site. Around 1045 BC, in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, Du Yu established the "Ancient Shu Kingdom". Until 316 BC, the Warring States period was destroyed by Qin, and Shu County was established in Chengdu. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, 13 prefectures were set up throughout the country, and Yizhou Washi was set up in Sichuan, which governed the entire Sichuan Basin and the Hanzhong region. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Yizhou was changed to Jiannan Province, until the Northern Song Dynasty, the merger of "Sichuan and Shaanxi Four Prefectures" was called "Sichuan", hence the name. After the Northern Song Dynasty, Sichuan was used, and in the second half of the Southern Song Dynasty, Sichuan's economy was depressed and its population dropped sharply. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, there were immigrants from various provinces to Sichuan. For example, Deng Xiaoping, the chief architect of our reform and opening up, according to the article published by the People's Daily: "Deng Xiaoping's ancestral home is in Luling, Ji'an, Jiangxi. His first ancestor, Deng Hexuan, moved into Sichuan in the 13th year of Ming Hongwu (1380) as a soldier and has been settling in Guang'an ever since. ”
In fact, the bigger wave of immigrants in Sichuan was in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. The so-called "Huguang" is now "Hunan and Hubei" During the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, these two provinces were called "Huguang province", not "two Guangdong (Guangdong Guangxi) and two lakes (Hunan Hubei)" as some people said. Of course, there are also two Guangdong people in the "Lake Filling Sichuan", such as Marshal Zhu De, the head of our Ten Marshals, whose ancestral home is: Shaoguan, Guangdong, a guest, who migrated to the saddle farm in Yilong County, Sichuan during the "Lake Filling Sichuan". Therefore, there are also Cantonese people in the "Lake Filling Sichuan". I learned from the genealogy that my ancestral home was Lingling County, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province, and in the 39-45 years of the Kangxi Dynasty, I successively moved to Guang'an, Sichuan.
To say where Sichuanese migrated to Sichuan, I found a map in the "Huguang Guild Hall" in Chongqing: "Huguang (Hunan Hubei) 32.9%, Jiangxi 13.9%, Shaanxi 10.4%, Guangdong 18.2%, Fujian 12.8%, Zhejiang 4.62%, Guizhou 4.76%, Yunnan 0.94%, other 1.4%. "In addition, the population that migrated to Sichuan is not a one-time migration. And Hunan and Hubei set up two immigration transit stations, all immigrants are concentrated in these two provinces, as for where the immigration stations are set up, it is not clear at present. However, I heard on the Internet that there is a transit station in Macheng, Hubei, and the transfer station in Hunan is not clear.
Finally, it should be noted that the immigrants in Sichuan are divided into "Huguang Filling River" and "Huguang Entering Sichuan" On September 7, 1694 (Kangxi 33), the Kangxi Emperor issued an edict of "Immigrant Reclamation". In response to the qing government's call, local officials from more than ten provinces, including Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong, and Jiangxi, led soldiers and horses to rush out and surrounded one village after another, whether the common people wanted to or not, and at the sound of an order, they were tied up in groups and escorted to Sichuan. There is a Sichuan dialect called "untie the hand", Sichuan people should understand, meaning to go to the toilet.
Because at that time, the people of "Huguang Filling River" were forced to fill the river, they were bound by the rope backhand, because the road was long, the road was urgent to urinate and wanted to be convenient, so they asked the escort officer to "untie" and go to the toilet. Therefore, "untie" later became a special synonym for Sichuan people going to the toilet. Therefore, "filling in the river in the lake" is a government act and is forcibly escorted to Sichuan. The later "Huguang into Sichuan" is due to a part of the people who entered Sichuan first, felt that Sichuan was very good, and voluntarily entered Sichuan to settle in order to survive. Therefore, the nature of the two is not the same.
