How did Jiangdong, a strong and inspirational country, become the "gentle hometown" of Wu Nong's soft language?

Jiangdong in Qin and Han Dynasties refers to the area south of the Yangtze River in Anhui, Jiangsu and other areas. Because the area south of the Yangtze River in this area is in the southeast of the Yangtze River, it is also called Jiangdong. The northwest of the Yangtze River is also called Jiangxi.

It can be seen that today's southern Jiangsu, southern Anhui, Zhejiang and other places basically belong to the category of Jiangdong. Xiang Yu himself is from Jiangxi, which is now from Suqian, Jiangsu. Xiang Yu's hometown is Chu, and there was once a part of Chu in Jiangdong area. Therefore, during the anti-Qin uprising, Xiang Yu went to Jiangdong to recruit his own soldiers to rebel. So why have the soldiers in Jiangdong, who were once full of fighting power, now become the gentle hometown of Wunong Warm Language?

First, the Eastern Jin Dynasty moved to the south, and the Jiangdong area has since been singing and dancing. From the Xiang Yu period to the Three Kingdoms period, the fighting capacity of the people in Jiangdong area was quite strong, which lasted for hundreds of years and did not lose to the northerners at that time. During the Xiang Yu period, 8,000 soldiers in Jiangdong followed Xiang Yu and overthrew the entire Qin Dynasty. From then on, Xiang Yu became the overlord of Chu, and his fighting capacity was the highest at that time. In the rebellion of Wu Chu in the Western Han Dynasty, the soldiers in Jiangdong were also the mainstay.

Of course, this is an unjust war. For the benefit of Wu Chu and the other seven princes, this war destroyed the peaceful living environment. After Sun Ce arose, he swept across Jiangdong. Since then, Sun Quan took Jiangdong as his inheritance, led troops in Jiangdong, and established a relatively stable Soochow Empire here. Until the Soochow Empire initiated by Sun Quan, the fighting capacity of Jiangdong soldiers should not be underestimated. Cao Cao has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and he has been through many battles. He failed to defeat Jiangdong many times in the south, which shows how effective it is here.

However, after the Western Jin Dynasty unified the whole country, only 50 years later, the world was in chaos again. Wuhu went south and occupied a large area in the north. In desperation, the imperial clan of the rulers had to move south. The emperor sent a messenger to find dun and said, If you don't forget this dynasty, if you don't fight here, the world will be safe. If not, Teng should be blamed for evil, so as not to take the right path. ? Xin Wei, Amnesty International. Dun himself is the prime minister, commander-in-chief of Chinese and foreign armies, recording the affairs of ministers and sealing the Duke of Wuchang and every household. The ancient generals in title of generals in ancient times, Bing Zi, Dai Ruosi, and Zhou E, were all killed. -The Book of Jin

With the help of Wang Dao and Wang Dun, Si Marui ascended the throne in Jiankang and established the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Jiankang is in Nanjing now. Although Si Marui was the founding emperor, his power was limited. The real regime is in the hands of Wang Dao and Wang Dun. So courtiers in Si Marui can only enjoy life here, and the real situation in Jiangnan began when Si Marui came to power.

Even if the soldiers in Jiangdong have fighting capacity, they can't play their fighting capacity without a decent leader as commander in chief. Since then, Jiangdong area has become a refuge. Before the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, the southern regime was in a relatively weak situation throughout the Eastern Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Sui Dynasty evolved from the Northern Zhou regime.

Second, the Song Dynasty moved south, and Jiangdong became a good place to escape the war. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Jiangdong became a famous romantic place. There are countless talented people who come here to linger, especially Emperor Yang Di himself. He also dug a big river and took a dragon boat to play here. Du Mu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, once left a poem in which a merchant girl did not know that she hated national subjugation, but still sang the backyard flower across the river. In fact, it refers to the romantic scene in Jiangdong at that time.

By the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the weaknesses in Jiangdong area had actually been completely exposed. Without such leaders as Xiang Yu and Sun Ce, hundreds of years of dormant life have already killed the fighting capacity of Jiangdong's children. South Tang, wuyue and other countries are simply not enough to compete with the powerful Zhao Kuangyin Legion. Finally, Li Yu kept losing his title, but he could not resist the doom of national subjugation.

Qian Hongchu, the king of wuyue, can only return to the Song Dynasty. From then on, the situation that the northern army completely defeated Jiangdong's children was completely formed. That's not all. After Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were kidnapped by the Jin people, the Northern Song Dynasty was declared dead.

Zhao Gou established the Southern Song Dynasty regime in Hangchow, which in itself was the time for Jiangdong soldiers to throw their weight around again. Finally, leaders like Yue Fei appeared, but Zhao Gou Group was unwilling to go to the Northern Expedition. Ma Jin was trapped in Jiangzhou, and Yao Shunming, the defender, abandoned the city. Two hundred people, including the bachelor king of Duanming Temple, were killed. You, Yue Fei led the troops to Hongzhou. Jin people committed crimes in Yangzhou. Xie Xiang cited Fan Ru as Liu Shiju, a thief in Jianyang. King made it, and Wu Jun beat him. Geng Xu committed another crime in Xining, and officials and ministers welcomed him to surrender. -History of the Song Dynasty

Even Yue Fei's head moved, and the Southern Song Group has been taking credit for the Jin people in the north with a compromise attitude. In the end, although it escaped the war and ensured peace for more than 100 years, it also brought hidden dangers to the demise of the southern regime. Since then, fewer and fewer southerners can fight. After such a long time of consumption, the fighting gene has basically disappeared.

Third, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Jiangdong became an important place for taxation. After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the status of Jiangdong vanished. At that time, the Yuan Dynasty implemented a four-level system. The first category is Mongolian, the second category is Semu, mostly from the western regions, and the third category is Han. The Han people here refer to the northern Han people, the Khitan people and the Jurchen people. The fourth category of talents are the Han nationality and the southern minorities.

It can be seen that since Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea with the little emperor, in fact, there are very few people with integrity in the whole southern region. At this time, the Jiangdong area became a slave of the Yuan Dynasty, and there was no possibility of training combat effectiveness. Under constant pressure, Jiangdong children can only sink. After the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, the population of Jiangdong decreased sharply. After the establishment of the Ming dynasty, people had to be seconded from all directions to fill it.

Anyone who is attached to the official family is allowed to take it when it is thousands of miles away from the official family, and return it when it is less than a thousand miles away. Jingtai, attached to the people, returned soldiers, artisans and chefs. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, more than 4,000 landless people who moved to Jiangsu, Song, Jia, Hu and Hangzhou went to Lin Hao to work and gave them cattle, seeds, cars and food as a means of severance. No tax for three years. -"Ming History"

The great immigration policy in the early Ming Dynasty made people of different cultures live together. Since then, the household registration system has been implemented in the Ming Dynasty, and everyone has been branded with the corresponding household registration. For example, military households, then your family has been a soldier for generations, and civilian households have been farming for generations. The Ming dynasty had the strictest control over people in history. Do you want to go home and farm, blacksmith This was impossible in the Ming Dynasty.

Most people in Jiangdong area are private households, or farming, or sericulture and weaving. I have basically lost contact with my military career. In addition, throughout the Ming and Qing dynasties for more than 600 years, Jiangdong area was taxed. In other words, the economy here is quite developed. With the development of economy, people's life is naturally better than other places, but at the same time it also causes Jiangdong children to covet a comfortable life.

Summary: The character of a group is a problem left over from history. In fact, people in every region have general personality characteristics. Northeast people are cool, Jiangsu and Zhejiang people are elegant, Hunan and Hubei people are brave, and Sichuan people are enthusiastic. These are all problems left over from history. People in a region can't all have the same personality, but generally speaking, most people are in this state.

The children of Jiangdong were able to recruit good fighters from the Qin and Han Dynasties, to sing and dance in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and then to be poor and happy in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This is actually a historical research route, and different historical environments have created the corresponding historical character of Jiangdong people. Up to now, Jiangdong people still continue the personality characteristics of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Of course, group personality cannot always lead individuals, and individual personality does not represent groups.
