During the Ming and Qing dynasties, a large number of immigrants from the Fujian and Guangdong regions moved to Gan and caused significant pressure and destruction to the local ecological environment
The paper investigates the large‑scale migration of Hakka people from Fujian and Guangdong to the Gannan area in Jiangxi during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It analyses how this population movement influenced local agriculture, land use, and the development of new production methods.
The study also documents the resulting ecological pressures, including deforestation, soil erosion, and increased frequency of water‑and‑drought disasters. Statistical tables compare per‑capita farmland and grain yields before and after the migration, highlighting the growing human‑environment conflict. This manual is written in Chinese.
The article examines the migration and ecological changes during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The research focuses on the Gannan area in southern Jiangxi province.
Deforestation, soil erosion, and a rise in water‑and‑drought disasters are documented as major impacts.
