" Chuangguandong " is actually adapted from some real historical events, not all of which are fictional. Its era background is that in the late Qing Dynasty, many people from the Central Plains came to the Northeast from the central region of our country to settle down from the central region of our country to settle down. This is also one of the rare large-scale population migrations in my country's history.
: Why do these people in the Central Plains have to go to Guandong? Isn't it good for them to go to the warm and rich south? We have to go north after going through a lot of hardships. We should know that the south is relatively better than the north in terms of climatic conditions and future development. In this way, it is wise to go to the south. Why did the people at that time do the opposite?
What is breaking into Guandong? Why go to Guandong?
It may be the first time that many people heard about the word "Chuangguandong" and don't know what it means. Especially those who live in the southern region rarely understand where the Guandong area is. In fact, in ancient times, the so-called Kanto refers to the area north of Hangu Pass, but by the Qing period, it turned into the area north of Shanhaiguan. Specifically, it refers to the area northeast of my country today.
Then why is it called "breaking"? The reason is also very simple. It is because after the Qing army entered the pass, , they established the imperial capital in the Central Plains. However, in case, or in other words, they believed that the Northeast was a "dragon vein zone", and were worried that a new emperor would be born, so they blocked the areas where the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty lived. Without the permission of the government and the order of the pass, no one would be allowed to enter and exit at will. Therefore, it was indeed not easy for the people in the Central Plains to enter the Northeast without a diploma. Moreover, it was also an act that violated the laws of the government at that time, so it was called breaking.
Of course, the people of the Central Plains do not want to leave their hometowns, and no one wants to live a stable and stable life in their hometown. If there is no special situation, no one wants to relocate with their families. This will not only cause certain economic losses to the family, but also means that they have changed their living environment. It is very likely that they will not adapt to the local environment, or it is difficult to adapt to the local social environment, customs and customs, etc. In view of the social situation in the Central Plains region in the late Qing Dynasty, the people of the Central Plains were forced to do so.
First of all, during this period, the Yellow River flooded severely, and natural disasters occurred frequently, which caused many people to grow crops without harvest and had to leave their hometowns, otherwise it would be difficult to survive. Secondly, the population in the Central Plains during the Qing Dynasty increased rapidly, from the initial 40 to 50 million to 400 million people, and they were also concentrated in the surrounding areas such as Shandong and Hebei and Zhili. Even if there were no natural disasters, the normal output of grain was not enough to support these people. In addition, years of war, these people could only choose to take risks in order to survive and seek a better way out and go to the Northeast region that was under ban and to be developed.
Why don’t the people of the Central Plains choose to go south?
Then again, why don’t these people in the Central Plains choose to go south? Isn’t it better to go to the southern region? Not only are cities in some areas located near the sea and have developed economies, but they also have relatively pleasant climates. It is obviously not a good idea to go to the Northeast with a severe climate. In fact, there are three main reasons behind it.
The first aspect is that although the climate in the south is good, it is too warm and humid. There is still a situation of "returning to the south" during spring and winter. Northerners cannot adapt to such a climate environment, which will cause obvious disagreement in the local environment, and eventually lead to some diseases. is that the customs and customs in the south are very different from those in the north. For example, the "sweet south and salty north" we are familiar with, with different eating habits. Sichuan and Chongqing are more inclined to spicy mouth, which is difficult for northerners to accept.
The second aspect is that the distance is relatively long. Take Shandong Province as an example. If you go to the southern province, it will span at least hundreds of miles or even more than a thousand miles. If you go north, the journey will be greatly shortened, and you will also avoid crossing big rivers and rivers, which will be less obstacles. After all, there were no advanced means of transportation such as planes and high-speed rail at that time, and did not have enough money to take a whole family to make a ship or train, so it would be really impossible to afford it. The elderly and children may not be able to withstand the tossing, so it is more beneficial to go north after comprehensive consideration.
The last and most important thing is that the situation in the south is turbulent and wars are everywhere. Moreover, from the series of treaties that were deprived of power and humiliating in the late Qing Dynasty, we can also understand that basically the ceased territory is mainly in the south. The waterways occupied by Western powers and the opening of trade ports in coastal cities have good economic development, but it also faces the danger of war breaking out at any time. is definitely a coexistence of opportunities and risks for merchants, but the people only like peaceful and stable days, while the Kanto area is not so complicated and chaotic.
Northeast is also good in the Northeast
After all, the Northeast region has greater attractiveness than the south, and the Northeast is also good in the Northeast. For example, the Northeast's dietary habits, climate characteristics, etc. are not much different from the Central Plains. The people of the Central Plains can better adapt to the local customs and build their own homes faster. In addition, everyone knows that Northeast people are straightforward, simple people, and foreigners can also integrate well into it, and there will be no ethnic discrimination or exclusion.
From another perspective, the Northeast region has been blocked by the Qing Dynasty royal family for many years, and the population is sparse, so the per capita land is only more. Foreigners come here without scrambling with others to get their own land. Moreover, the black soil in the Northeast is notoriously fertile and is suitable for planting a variety of crops. The important thing is to increase grain output.
In addition to agriculture, I believe many friends also know that Northeast China was once a heavy industrial base in my country, and even today it has played an important role. In the last century, it solved the employment and settlement problems of many people, and made significant contributions to promoting the national economic development. However, in today's new era, with high-tech as a new development point, the old heavy industrial base in Northeast China has been gradually forgotten by people, and no one knows that it has once been brilliant.
Conclusion
Based on the above factors, it is understandable that a large number of people in the Central Plains entered Guandong in the late Qing Dynasty. They initially wanted to survive, while the followers followed the footsteps of their ancestors for development. Of course, this does not mean that the southern region is not good, but the land and water nourish the other people, and each has its own choices. Some people may be due to personal family or interests, and some people may follow the trend. No matter what, it is forced by the current situation, a special phenomenon in social period.
