ethnic minority

The She nationality in Zhoufang town is a freedom loving people. They called themselves "Shan ha" (she's meaning is a mountain guest), and they were not registered in the registered residence. In order to avoid the oppression of feudal rulers, they migrated frequently from generation to generation. Of course, this kind of migration is helpless and difficult. She people in Zhangping heard their ancestors say: when the old grandfather came to Jiangxi, he helped the old and the young from afar, carried a pair of stone mill on his shoulder, and dug mountain powder (fern powder) to satisfy his hunger. Children can't eat Shanfen, so they grind some rice flour to feed. In order to prevent the people on the way of migration from being separated, they explain to each other again and again. No matter where they go, they should not forget their own language and tone. As long as you can speak she dialect, you can find the same people. After many hardships, they came to the Tianhua mountain in Guixi (formerly known as Jianghu mountain) and began to reclaim wasteland and cultivate land there. But as soon as the crops were planted, the Han nationality forced them to pay "wasteland rent", so they had to move to Zhangping, Taiya, Laowu, taotian and other places in the mountains and forests. Since then, he has settled down in this rich and beautiful mountain area.
