The Relationship between Xue Family in Fujian and Gushi in Henan Province

Gushi County, Henan Province is called "the north of the south, the south of the north". Taking the Huaihe River in Qinling Mountains as the north-south dividing line in China, Gushi, Henan Province is located on this dividing line. Gushi county is located at east longitude11521′ ~1556 ′ and north latitude 3146 ′ ~ 3235 ′. The longest from north to south is 94. 16 km, and the widest from east to west is 56. 19 km, with a total area of 29 16 km2.

Gushi is the most populous county in Henan Province, with a population of over1800,000. Henan dialect of Gushi dialect has been occupied by Anhui dialect for 50% of the accent. This is because Gushi borders Huoqiu, Fuyang and Jinzhai counties in Anhui Province. According to the proportion of county boundaries, Gushi borders Anhui more than Henan.

Historically, whenever the dynasty changed, a large number of China people fled to Gushi, Gwangju, surrounded by mountains in front of Dabie Mountain. Later, they went south from Gushi along the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River not far from the south. Gushi has thus become a major channel for southern immigrants. Historically, Gushi in Gwangju was known as "the hometown of Tang people, the ancestral land of Fujian and Taiwan" and "the first hometown of overseas Chinese in the Central Plains"

In the second year of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 26), Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, appointed Li Tong as the official office of Gushi, which means that the core area of the fief in Gushi is now Gushi, and the place names of Gushi have continued for nearly two thousand years.
