The development of Jiangnan area;
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, due to the war in the north, a large number of people moved south, which promoted the economic development in the south of the Yangtze River. This is the first large-scale population migration to the south in the history of our country.
Social and economic characteristics of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties;
Jiangnan develops rapidly, while Central Plains develops relatively slowly. Gentry manor economy and temple economy occupy an important position; Low level of commodity economy; Economic exchanges between ethnic groups have been strengthened. With the development of national integration, all ethnic groups learn from each other, learn from each other's strengths, and promote economic recovery and development.
Reasons for the rapid development of Jiangnan economy in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties;
1. The war in the northern region caused a large number of northerners to move south. After the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, millions of northerners moved south, enriching the labor force in Jiangnan and bringing advanced production technology.
2. The integration of southern minorities and Han nationality has accelerated the development of local economy.
3. Some rulers of the southern regime have implemented policies conducive to agricultural development, such as persuading farmers to plant mulberry, rewarding agricultural weaving, appeasing refugees, and building water conservancy projects.
4. Because the wars in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were concentrated in the north, the wars in the south were mostly wars within the ruling class, which maintained a stable social environment for economic development.
The superior geographical position and natural environment in the south contain great potential for developing agricultural economy.
6. The southward movement of the political center has an impact on the southward movement of the economic center. "Yongjia Du Nan" is not only the southward migration of northern people, but also the southward migration of northern gentry and even the Jin government, and it also brings a large number of talents to the development of Jiangnan.
7. With the efforts of the people, the refugee groups in the north should be concentrated in Jingzhou and Yangzhou, followed by Minjiang River Basin and Lingnan. In order to rebuild their homes and seek a stable life, they have a strong desire for economic development.
