Gossip about Cousin Jiangxi

Outsiders like to call Jiangxi people "Lao Biao", and Jiangxi people themselves like to call themselves "Lao Biao", and "Lao Biao" also writes "Lao Biao", which usually has a certain intimacy. So, what exactly does "old watch" mean?

The name may have originated from a generation of Hakkas in Ganzhou, Jiangxi. At first, "cousin" simply means aunt, uncle, aunt and other cousins. Based on the traditional clan power and husband power system in China, China people generally divide all kinship into internal relatives and consorts, that is, relatives refer to families (with the same surname) and relatives (with different surnames).

There is an old saying that "only three generations are relatives, and the clan lasts forever." "Clans will last for thousands of years, such as the relationship between the sons of the same father; The "pro" in "pro only has three generations" is actually the "pro" in the above article, that is, relatives with different surnames, and all kinds of cousins belong to this category.

Folks often say that "one generation of relatives, the second generation of representatives, three generations and four generations are gone" (or one generation of relatives, two tables, three relatives are gone). Generally speaking, the first generation is immediate family members such as brothers and sisters, and the second generation is certainly cousins, cousins and cousins. Three generations and four generations are inseparable, or rarely walk, of course, but most of them are not absolute.

Based on the special subculture and experience, compared with other China people, Hakkas attach great importance to their cousins and have a subconscious attachment to matriarchal relatives. Later, in order to close the emotional distance between two unrelated people, they borrowed the word "cousin" and wrote "cousin", which is equivalent to "brother". Up to now, there are still some typical expressions in Gannan Hakka dialect, such as cigarettes, tea and candy.

Of course, the rapid expansion of the application of the word "old cousin" between Jiangxi people and Jiangxi people, and between mainlanders and Jiangxi people is related to early immigrants in Jiangxi. In the history of our country, during the Qing Dynasty, the population mainly from Hunan, Guangdong and Sichuan moved to Sichuan on a large scale to fill the extremely depressed population in this area (please refer to the two main founders of * * * and China, and fill in my book Hunan and Guangdong). In the process of "Huguang filling Sichuan", Jiangxi was also used as a transit point for immigrants in many cases, and then transferred to all parts of the country.

In fact, there is a prelude to "Huguang filling Sichuan", that is, "Jiangxi filling Huguang". At the end of Yuan Dynasty, the two lakes were the main battlefields where the Red Scarf Army and Yuan Army fought with Zhu Yuanzhang, and social unrest led to a sharp drop in population. After Zhu Yuanzhang unified the Yangtze River basin, during the Hongwu period, Jiangxi people with large population and little land were ordered to move to Hunan and Hubei. Today, there are still many people in all parts of the country who call their ancestral home the big pagoda tree in Hongtong County, Shanxi Province.

The living habits and eating habits of Jiangxi people who later moved to Hunan and Hubei (and Jiangxi people who moved to Fujian and Guangdong) and Jiangxi locals are still roughly the same. Later, Jiangxi people from other provinces expanded to the whole province and jokingly called them "Jiangxi cousins" as soon as they saw them. It is based on this historical origin that Jiangxi people are regarded as relatives.

Some people even exaggerate that Gannan people who believe in Feng Shui love to carry a watch (compass) with them in order to grasp the future and the direction of travel in the process of migration, and are nicknamed "old watch" by outsiders.

According to legend, another word "Jieshou" was also produced and circulated in the process of Jiangxi immigration. It is said that many Jiangxi people were forcibly bound and escorted to Huguang by the Ming and Qing governments to prevent them from fleeing halfway. Because the road is long and convenient, they must report to the escort officers and soldiers: "Sir, please untie your hand, I want to be convenient." More times, this verbal request is simplified to "Sir, stop", that is, "go to the toilet". Since then, "Jieshou" has become synonymous with defecation, which has been used ever since.
