Shi Yang (Sizhitang) in Yancheng is not from Nagato in Suzhou, but Luoshe Town in Wuxi, the next stop of the Grand Canal.

Nagato in Suzhou legend is a waterway transit station, so all the immigrants say it is Nagato.

Yancheng Yang Can found a passage:

On the Origin of Yancheng Yang's Life

In the version spectrum, the ancestor of Yancheng Yang is clear, and his birth, death, marriage and funeral are all lost. In the early Ming Dynasty, Hongwu moved from Luoshe to Yancheng, and was buried by Li Jiagang according to his father. Luoshe is now Luoshe Town in the northwest of Huishan, Wuxi. The first year of Hongwu 1368. How did the ancestors arrive in Yancheng from Luoshe, Wuxi in the early Ming Dynasty? Say the source first, then immigration.

Judging from the names of people and the list of deacons, Yancheng genealogy may have undergone two major overhauls. The second time was in the early years of the Republic of China, and the source was Yang Hongshan, Wuxi. In the 11th year of the Republic of China, the editor-in-chief of Wuxi Hongshan Genealogy (word Yu 'an) wrote in the Preface to Yancheng Yang's Genealogy that the genealogy was renewed (19 17) for less than four years, and Yang crossed the river to visit. After seeing Ji Yang's red mountain spectrum, I found the world table of Xiaoliu School, which is radiant ... My distant ancestor's name is on it, and it conforms to the age of the world, so I am very happy to rush over and tell you ... I am suspected of being a god ... I am in high spirits; Another preface says that in the past, the commander of the Anhui army curtain (Yang) shook hands and made peace. This spring, he met Shao Peng in Huaishang, holding Yang Hongshan's genealogy in his hand, and said: My family moved from Hongshan to Yancheng, and we compiled the genealogy of Yancheng, so I asked my son to preface my family.

Judging from these two paragraphs, the origin of the tribe in the first 500 years of the Republic of China is unknown, because the compilation of Yang's genealogy in Yancheng is very few times, and many historical materials of ancestors' lives are missing. The year of birth and death, marriage and funeral are unknown, and the name is known by Buzu and other folk records.

Speaking of immigration, I have to say that Hongwu drove away. This history is widely circulated among Yanfu people. The so-called Hongwu drive away is the immigrants who cultivated land during Hongwu years in the early Ming Dynasty. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, the coastal areas in the lower reaches of Huaihe River suffered numerous casualties and heavy losses, which were aggravated by the flood of tides, floods in Huaihe River and drought locusts. At that time, there were only more than 6,500 households in Yancheng County, with 2 1000 people. Natural and man-made disasters, resulting in fields and stoves everywhere abandoned, a depression scene. Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty as emperor, reclaimed land in some areas and restored the economy. Huai 'an Prefecture is one of the key land reclamation places (now Yanfu Prefecture belonged to Huai 'an Prefecture at that time). According to historical records, Hong (around 1370) once moved into more than 4,000 families from Suzhou, Songjiang, Jiaxing, Huzhou and Hangzhou for reclamation. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang successively carried out several large-scale immigrants, one from Jiangnan to Fengyang, Anhui 1 40,000 people, and one from Suzhou and Songjiang to Yancheng110,000 people. By the 24th year of Hongwu (139 1 year), the number of Yancheng residents had soared to 89 12 households with 6 1080 people. 1370, the ancestor Yang Qing was forced to move from the rich Jiangnan water town to the poor northern Jiangsu. The genealogy of many surnames in northern Jiangsu recorded the bitter history of this tragic immigrant in detail, and people who left their homes even dreamed of returning to their hometown in the south of the Yangtze River. The Ming government provided preferential policies for the development of the economy, and generations have to stay in this land in northern Jiangsu to survive. For 600 years, it has been said that immigrants came from Suzhou and Nagato. In fact, this place is just a sacred place in people's memory, and it is the starting point or transit point of waterway transportation. Many immigrants from one ship to another were forced to go north along the Grand Canal by water. Yang Hongshan Genealogy records that Yang Jian's second son, X, moved to Kansai Li in Yancheng. Luoshe, which is near the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, is one of the reasons for forced immigration. Yang Hongshan, to which Yang Qing belongs, is a big family.
