During the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang sent 500,000 troops south to attack Baiyue. After the attack, 500,000 troops stayed in Lingnan. Later, 500,000 residents moved in, and the total reached1million. At that time, Baiyue was vast and sparsely populated, but it was widely distributed. Everywhere the Central Plains immigrants went, they merged with Baiyue people. In the sixth year of Ding Yuan, Emperor Wudi sent troops to attack Nanyue, and Panyu City fell. Residents in the middle reaches of the Xijiang River can move into the Pearl River Delta. After Hanwu, the emperor took Lingnan as a place of exile, and many refugees moved in from the northwest.
The second batch: Eastern Jin Dynasty
During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, due to the chaos in the north, a large number of northern Han people moved south. Although there are five abuses in the north, it has not led to serious interference in political culture. But at this time, the Han people who moved south were not all Guangfu (Zhuji Cantonese), but more Min people, so the main branch was not Guangfu, and there was no Zhuji Lane at this time. According to more historical records, the name of Zhuji Lane comes from Zhuji Reward, and Zhuji Lane was also called "Beijing" before the Tang Dynasty.
The third batch: Northern Song Dynasty
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, when the Northern Song Dynasty perished, a large number of scholars and people in Kaifeng, the capital, moved south to Lingnan, while the emperor moved to Hangzhou. When I passed Jing Zong Lane, I missed my hometown, so I changed Jing Zong Lane into Zhuji Lane. At this time, a large number of Han people who moved south merged with the early Guangdong ethnic groups to become Guangfu people in the new period. This is why Guangfu people regard Zhuji Lane as a folk identity.
The fourth batch: Southern Song Dynasty
At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Han people who moved south were divided into three branches. One branch goes south to Lingnan by land via Jiangxi and Zhuji Lane, and the other two branches go south to Lingnan by sea. One is that Jiangdong immigrants finally merged into Guangfu, and the other is that Fuzhou immigrants finally merged into Minnan language group.
According to the statistics at the end of 2004; There are nearly 30 million overseas Chinese in Guangdong and compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, including 20 million overseas Chinese, 6 million compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao and 4 million compatriots from Taiwan Province Province, covering more than 0/00 countries and regions in the world.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government implemented the policy of "locking up the country" and "banning the sea", and the people were restricted from going to sea. During this period, Dutch and British colonists saw that overseas Chinese in Indonesia and Malaysia were hardworking, smart and good at doing business. So I wanted to requisition China's laborers, but because of the Qing government's "lock-up policy", I couldn't recruit laborers, so I hooked up with pirates and kidnapped young men to work as coolies in Indonesia and Malaysia to develop colonial resources, commonly known as "selling pigs" and "selling pigs". The colonists tied them up with "contracts", euphemistically called "contract Chinese workers". Some people are forced by the environment and act as "Chinese laborers". At that time, most of the overseas Chinese in Guangdong left their hometown as "Chinese workers".
The earliest immigrants According to the film and television materials of Phoenix Channel of Hong Kong TV, the earliest large-scale immigrants to Guangdong were the ancient "God of War" Chiyou ethnic group four or five thousand years ago. It is said that Chiyou was brave and invincible. Emperor Yan and Huang led his men to defeat Chiyou and drive his people out of the Yellow River basin. Defeated like a mountain, he moved all the way south, and now he has come to western Guangdong, Leizhou Peninsula and Hainan Island to thrive.
Western Guangdong was the active area of Luoyue and Ouyue in the pre-Qin period, and the active area of Li nationality from the Southern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties. During the pre-Qin period, other parts of Guangdong were active areas in South Vietnam, and a large number of local Cantonese remains were recently unearthed. The sites from the Southern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty found along the Luozhan Railway provide the first batch of systematic physical materials for the study of Guangdong's national history, the development history of Lingnan and the local history of western Guangdong. The Guangdong section of Luozhan Railway mainly passes through Gaozhou and Xinyi, which Maoming belongs to. During the cultural relics exploration along the route in June and July, 2006, the archaeologists of Guangdong Institute of Archaeology discovered 65,438+03 sites and remains, all of which were concentrated from the Southern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty and located on both sides of Jianjiang River. Archaeologists have made further explorations and further clarified their ideas-experts believe that they have discovered a new cultural type. The most outstanding representative of slang is Mrs. Xian, who was active in Lingnan politics in the 6th century. At that time, she was still in charge of Guangdong and was honored as the "Lingnan Xianfei" from Gaozhou. In 589, several counties in Lingnan adopted the virtuous lady as the "Virgin". However, for many years, no matter the study of national history or the study of Fairy Lady, due to the lack of records and objects, little is known about slang culture. The investigation of Luozhan Railway has obtained a batch of ironware and ceramics completely different from those found in the past, showing a new cultural outlook, which is of great significance in the archaeological research of Guangdong historical period and fills the gap.
The descendants of Max Loehr and Ou Yue used Gaozhou language family, but as to what ethnic language family they belong to in Guangdong, it remains to be verified by experts.
A brief introduction to the migration history of Zhuji Lane: there are two kinds of understandings about Zhuji Lane migration: narrow and broad. In a narrow sense, it refers to the migration of Zhuji Lane itself and its nearby residents; In a broad sense, it refers to immigrants passing through Zhuji Lane, including immigrants passing through Zhuji Lane and immigrants in a narrow sense. Residents of Zhuji Lane can be divided into two types: moving in and moving out. Moving in refers to moving into Zhuji Lane and nearby areas from other places, and moving out refers to leaving Zhuji Lane and moving into other areas. In terms of immigration history, the main contents are as follows: 1. The migration process of Zhuji immigrants from weekend to Song Dynasty, pointing out that the main source of Zhuji Lane residents is Lingbei immigrants (Guangdong ethnic group). Second, the main reasons for the migration of Zhuji township immigrants to the south are government persecution, natural disasters, social unrest and war in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Migrants to the south are mainly residents of Zhuji Lane and Nanxiong Basin. Zhuji Lane is the real hometown of the migrants, not the "transit station" or "just passing by" as some works say. Thirdly, the migration of Zhuji Lane in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties was preliminarily discussed, and it was pointed out that there were two large-scale migrations to the south in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Fourthly, the topic of overseas colonization and distribution of the descendants of immigrants in Zhuji Lane is put forward and preliminarily discussed. 5. By studying the migration route of migrants in Zhuji Township, some new and possible distribution areas of migrants' descendants are put forward, and the number of migrants' descendants is roughly estimated. We believe that the real migration of Zhuji Lane should begin after the emergence of Zhuji Lane in the Tang Dynasty, and the large-scale southward migration of Zhuji residents began in the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, Zhuji Lane had a superior environment and developed economy, which attracted residents from north and south to return. It was only because of turmoil and war that forced relocation occurred. Because it is located in the main road of traffic, it is a battleground for military strategists. Whenever there is a war, it will inevitably lead to immigration, and a slightly long-term war can lead to large-scale immigration. So there were several large-scale immigrants in the Song Dynasty. By the turn of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, almost all the residents were moving south. The main road has brought economic prosperity and frequent wars, which is the luck and misfortune of Zhuji Lane people. The prosperity of Zhuji Lane is due to traffic.
