Jiangxi people's favor for "Lao Biao" has a long history, and the earliest saying probably goes back to the totem era. According to the examination, "table" refers to wood in the old days, such as "Twelve Years of Xuangong": "Tomorrow, the corpse will be regained under the wood." Du Note: "Table refers to wood." However, the excavation of Wucheng site in Qingjiang River revealed that the Shang Dynasty laterite altar was "distributed with hundreds of column holes of different sizes, mostly arranged in rows or staggered." This is obviously the primitive fetishism totem pillar belief of Dongyi ethnic group in Jianghuai valley and the extension area of Jiangnan. From the mid-Shang Dynasty to the end of the Warring States Period, "Lao Biao" was recorded in writing. Therefore, it is said that "Lao Biao" is a vernacular saying of totem table column, and it is the memory residue of totem impression in Jiangxi ethnic group. There are many kinds of folk sayings: At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, many areas in eastern Hunan were deserted due to war, and a large number of Jiangxi people moved to Hunan. Later, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a large number of Jiangxi people moved in, and even in some places, nine out of ten households came from Jiangxi. When these descendants of Jiangxi people who moved to Hunan returned to Jiangxi to pay homage to the ancestral tombs, they liked to call the local Jiangxi people by their cousins, meaning cousins. This is the legend of filling Huguang in Jiangxi, and it is also the most popular saying about the origin of the word Laobiao. According to legend, in the late Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was killed and rescued in Jiangxi when he was not an emperor. In order to repay the kindness of Jiangxi people in that year, he promised that if he won the world, Jiangxi people could directly look for him in the name of cousin. The third statement originated from the Hakka area in southern Jiangxi, and the Cantonese who moved from eastern Guangdong called the local people "old cousins" (because both people are Hakka), and later spread throughout Jiangxi, becoming another name for "fellow villagers". Statement 4 Taoism and geomantic omen have prevailed in Jiangxi since ancient times. People from nearby provinces like to invite Mr. Feng Shui from Jiangxi for geomantic omen. As a geomantic magician, the dial is a must-have, so mainlanders call these geomantic omen from Jiangxi by their old watches. Over time, it is also used to address all Jiangxi people. The word "old-class" has developed to the present. Compared with people in Jiangxi Province, some places in Jiangxi Province also contain certain derogatory meanings. In Jiangxi Province, the number of people using the word "old-class" has become less and less, and it has been rarely used in cities. In some towns and villages, the frequency of using this word is still high, but it is usually said when the family uses the local dialect. Because of this, "old-class" contains ". At the same time, the homonym of the old "watch" is also easy to be associated with (you know). Jiangxi people sometimes swear and say that that person is the same as the old watch, which means that he is very rustic and has never seen anyone in the world! So up to now, this word has a new meaning, but it has become a derogatory term. However, the meaning of derogatory words is unknown to many people from other provinces, but some people from Jiangxi know it. Sometimes outsiders call Jiangxi an old cousin, but Jiangxi people may not be very happy, but they will feel very angry! Therefore, for people in Jiangxi, please use this word carefully and pay attention to your tone of voice, otherwise the effect will be counterproductive. Another statement is also about migration, but it is not moving into Jiangxi, but moving out of Jiangxi. "Old Table" is the nickname given to the ancestor of Jiangxi by neighboring provinces. I'm afraid the historical reason is that Jiangxi was not included in the national political map very early. After the Qin Dynasty, Guangzhou, Fujian and other provinces were included, and the geographical position gradually emerged. However, agriculture was still the main industry. Because of the premature saturation of the population, most people in Jiangxi traveled around for cultivation and cultivation, mostly in the hinterland. Fujian people think that only they can call Jiangxi people "old cousins"; Guangdong people also think that they are cousins with Jiangxi people; There is a legend in Hubei, that is, Hubei people were killed in those days, and then they were passed down by three brothers from Jiangxi, and there are still ancestral temples in memory of these three brothers. More people have to count from Hunan. In Mr. Zou Huaheng's "Hunan Genealogy", he stated: "Most of the ancestors who moved to Hunan came from Jiangxi. In the genealogy of Hunan, when describing the origin, more than 6% of the genealogy claims that the ancestors moved from Jiangxi during the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, especially from Taihe, Luling and Jishui in Ji 'an, Jiangxi, Fengcheng and Nanchang counties in Nanchang. ..... Years of wars and wars at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty made rural areas in most parts of Hunan desolate, Lushe became ruins, and a large number of original residents scattered. Subsequently, people from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian and Jiangxi, especially from Jiangxi, poured into Hunan in large numbers ... Folk songs spread the saying that "Jiangxi fills the lake". Now, when Hunan people talk about Jiangxi people, they often call them Jiangxi cousins. The author is at a loss as to what they mean. In view of the historical origin of Hunan people, they mistakenly interpret it as: table means cousin, which means that children born to fathers and sisters and mothers, brothers and sisters are all called cousins; Old, the ancestor is also called. The' cousin' is the cousin of the ancestors, and the' cousin of Jiangxi' refers to the cousin relationship between the ancestors of Jiangxi and Hunan provinces, which is a nickname for Jiangxi people from Hunan.
