Immigration During Anti-Japanese War And Social Changes Of SiChuan

Population is the most important elements of the social structure, whose changes will lead the other elements of the social structure to move, change and develop. Population movements are generally regarded as an important reasons of social change. After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Japanese troops have occupied the east, north, south China and other places, which threat Chinese people's lives and property, bringing the Chinese people grave disaster. A large number of people during the time of war escaped to avoid become slave, The whole family moving to the non-theater area of The eastern region and western provinces and cities, which led to the largest migration of economic, cultural, and population in the modern history of China. Their number, scale,time are unprecedented.Especially after The Government of the Republic of China moved westward to Chongqing, as the political and cultural center changes in the war, which led to another large-scale migration of population. Different from the former migration, the movement of the groups lead to the western region, in particular, to the Sichuan region. A large number of celebrities, business people, intellectuals, students and refugees influx into Sichuan, which bring a wealth of human and material resources and bringing Sichuan region a good opportunity for development.During the entire Sino-Japanese War, approximately 300 million people moved to Sichuan, Such a large contingent of the population moving to Sichuan had profound consequences for local political, economic and cultural development. In the political aspect, Sichuan is a common inland provinces before the War of Resistance Against Japan, so it's plitical influence is rather weak. However, after the Anti-Japanese War, Chongqing became the capital of China, and Sichuan became a firm foundation of China, continuing to provide strong back-up support for the War, which greatly increased the political strength of Sichuan. In the economic aspect, A large number of factories moved to Sichuan, which has changed the Sichuan poor state of underdevelopment, and improved the local industrial structure to develop, promote industrial production and technology innovation, trained a large number of industrial and technical personnel, brewing a good social environment for Sichuan's industrial development. Inland population also expandedf local consumer demand and stimulated the funds transfer into bussiness, which promote the commercial development in Sichuan. In the field of culture, with University, scientific research institutions moving into Sichuan, the traditional deformity distribution of educational resources changed, activating local culture and changing people's attitude about knowledge. After college moved to Sichuan, Many of these colleges and universities participated actively in local primary and secondary education and social education, which have made a positive contribution of education in Sichuan area. In the aspect of social thought, it has changed the outdated custom conservative ideas and Stereotypical thinking of Bashu region, and the thought of making anti-Japanese national concept, the state concept, the spirit of democracy be respected, the concept of marriage, life, career have changed.Of course, the population moved to Sichuan to promote social development in the Sichuan region, but also brought a series of social problems to Sichuan, Such as social security, distribution of goods, marital relations, prices surge, etc. However, from the perspective of social development, the population movements to Sichuan during Anti-Japanese War, has a positive more than a negative impact. The process of population migrated to Sichuan during Anti-Japanese War is also a cultural process of moving to Sichuan, as two heterogeneous homologous culture, Ba-Shu area and eastern area in modern times has experienced different development, After the Opium War, China's large cities in the eastern region were forced to open as a trading port, a large number of goods flowed into the region, which impacted the self-sufficient economic structure, Accelerated the process of disintegration of the natural economic structure, In this brutal process, the modern capitalism gradually came into the eastern coastal areas, making the eastern part led ahead in Bashu region in the modernization of China. Whether in economic, political, or in education, culture, the eastern region have shown great advantages to the Bshu region. Of course, This difference is bound to dilute in the future. However, the Anti-Japanese War forced the population moved to Sichuan, which put the two cultures in the same place. Make both in the economic, political, and cultural dimensions shows conflict and integration. Not only the distribution of material contradicted, but also significant differences in culture ;Not only the eastern culture r promoted Bashu culture, Bashu culture also impact synchronizatly eastern culture. After the end of the Sino-Japanese War, refugees returned home, the situation gradually be diluted.After all ,Sichuan's population changes in time of war,is a non-normal population movements, which also determines the non-conventional of social development, It's sudden, short-term decised the Sichuan's social development is very limited. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Sichuan region has a extraordinary socio-economic development, but after the war, with the population, factories, schools and government agencies moving to the eastern region, Sichuan's economic prosperity has been once again plunged into recession. Of course, we should give full recognition to the population movement into Sichuan, which impact on the original order of Sichuan region, created a good market environment, education, environment, industrial technology environment, and strengthened the contact between the eastern regiom and Sichuan, which have a positive meaning For Sichuan social development in post-war.
