Until the Republic of China, Shanghai was the territory of Jiangsu Province! Initially, it was called Shanghai County, which was under the Jiangsu Province Songjiang Prefecture. Later, Shanghai Province was set up on top of Songjiang Province, and was known as the Shanghai Road, which was the "military defense road for the Suzhou-Song-Taichung area". Although the Shanghai Road also has the word "Shanghai", but here the "Shanghai" is not the concept of the administrative region, but more or the division of functions, Shanghai is still Shanghai County.
Shanghai County in the late Qing Dynasty
In 1927, in order to better manage Shanghai, the national government of Jiangsu Province, Shanghai County, Baoshan County, some of the townships were analyzed, the establishment of the Shanghai Special Municipality, by the national government direct jurisdiction. Since then, Shanghai has officially become a "municipality" (equivalent to a municipality directly under the central government). However, the scope of Shanghai during the Republic of China was still very narrow, mainly the old city center of Shanghai and some nearby townships, which was much smaller than the area of Shanghai now. The original Shanghai County and Baoshan County were separated from some of the townships, but the establishment was still retained, still under the Jiangsu Province.
The Special City of Shanghai in the Republic of China
In 1958, with the approval of the State Council, Jiading County, Baoshan County, Shanghai County, Chuansha County, Qingpu County, Nanhui County, Songjiang County, Fengxian County, Jinshan County, and Chongming County, which were under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu Province, were incorporated into Shanghai. Since then, the geographical scope of the current Shanghai Municipality has been finalized. In other words, many parts of the city of Shanghai were the territory of Jiangsu Province before 1958, such as Chongming District, Jinshan District, Fengxian District, etc., all of which were incorporated into the city of Shanghai after 1958. Before that, they were all under Jiangsu Province, not Shanghai. That's why many of Comrade Chen Yun's biographical data in the origin of the column are filled in the "Jiangsu Qingpu", rather than the reason for Shanghai.
Ten counties in Jiangsu province that were transferred to Shanghai in 1958
By this point, I think you can probably see the point. Now the so-called "Shanghai locals", in fact, the vast majority of them are once "Jiangsu people"! Only the "aborigines" of Shanghai's old town can barely be considered "Shanghai locals". Further back, before the Republic of China, there was no such thing as "Shanghainese", and even Shanghai was only the Shanghai County of Jiangsu Province! In other words, most of the so-called "Shanghai locals" are from Jiangsu Province. In other words, the so-called "Shanghai locals", the vast majority of the ancestors are Jiangsu. Including the Republic of China period, many because of labor and other reasons to move to Shanghai "outsiders", the vast majority of them are also Jiangsu people. Why don't many people now joke that Suzhou and Wuxi are the "far suburbs" of Shanghai? These two places were one of the main sources of foreigners in Shanghai during the Republican period! For example, the old Shanghai's most famous "Rong family" is from Wuxi, Jiangsu Province.
In addition to Jiangsu, Jiaxing and Huzhou in northern Zhejiang, and even Hangzhou, Ningbo, Shaoxing, and other places in the Republic of China (ROC) also had a large number of people moving into Shanghai for labor or other reasons. In other words, now some of the so-called "Shanghai locals", but also may be the original Zhejiang people. To this day, the two regions of southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang are still the main places of origin of many so-called "Shanghainese". Of course, Shanghai is the largest "metropolis" in the country since the Republic of China, the foreign population is still quite large, all over the country. The descendants of these people have basically become the so-called "Shanghainese". To put it bluntly, the so-called "Shanghainese" ancestry, in fact, is now a certain treasure package in the region ......
Before the liberation of the majority of business is the Ningbo people, live in the center of the region, such as Huangpu, and the majority of workers for the northern people, live in the Zhabei and other places. The majority of the workers were from the north of Jiangsu Province, living in Zhabei and other places.
Previously, the ancestry of the Shanghai people mainly consists of five major blocks of people! 1, Zhejiang, 2, Jiangsu, 3, Anhui, 4, Shandong, 5, Guangdong. Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui is mainly close to the road. Shandong, is the liberation of Shanghai, the East China field army left behind the troops. The Guangdong people were mainly left behind when they went to Shanghai to do business! Now, Shanghai's foreign population is a little more complex, people from all over the country, just a little less.
By the numbers:
The population of downtown Shanghai in January 1950 is shown above. The reason why it is "urban population" is that Shanghai at that time was only the urban area of today's Shanghai, and the ten counties in the suburbs belonged to Jiangsu Province at that time.
As you can see from the data, 48% of the population is of Jiangsu origin, with the northern part of Jiangsu accounting for the bulk of the population. Zhejiang nationality 26%, of which the people around Ningshao accounted for the big head. Taken together, the northern Jiangsu people should be the largest source of population in downtown Shanghai.
Ningbo Gang is the largest modern Chinese merchant gang, the originator of modern Chinese industry! Sun Yat-sen in Guangdong evaluation of Ningbo gang: Ningbo people have been known to be good at business, and have a strong vigor", where "our country ports, all have Yong people business, that is, European countries, but also more than the footprints of Ningbo merchants, their influence and ability to be great, certainly can be second to none" [a flash of light] modern Ningbo gang has long controlled Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tianjin, Wuhan General Chamber of Commerce. The Ningbo Gang has long controlled the Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tianjin and Wuhan Chambers of Commerce. Commercial Bank of China, agricultural bank, Beijing Tong Ren Tang, real estate, stock exchange, insurance, ship bus, hospitals, chemical factory, printing press, daily chemical factory, machine dyeing and weaving enterprises, national drugstore, watch store and hundreds of other industries are ningbo people started! Firstly, they gained development in Shanghai. Ningbo nationality in Shanghai, the first buyer is a person Mu Bingyuan. 1843 November, the first British Consul in Shanghai, Baffour with British businessmen to Shanghai, Shanghai officially opened as a commercial port. In this year, Ningbo Mu Bingyuan accepted the employment of British merchants, became the first new type of buyer in Shanghai after the opening of the port, known as the "founder of the Shanghai buyer", took over all the Sino-British foreign trade transactions in Shanghai, and accumulated into a huge wealth. 1880s, the buyer of the Ningbo gang in Shanghai has surpassed the Guangdong gang and ranked first in the buyer group, until the abolition of the buyer system. After the 1880s, the Ningbo Bailiffs surpassed the Guangdong Bailiffs and became the first group of Bailiffs, until the abolition of the Bailiff System. Through this period of development, the Ningbo Gang established its dominant position in Shanghai, the most important economic center of modern times. Shanghai's modern commerce and industry were all started by Ningbo people! The Ningbo people, who were separated by only one water of the Ningbo-Shanghai transportation, flocked to Shanghai in large numbers, and by the end of the Qing Dynasty, they had reached as many as 400,000 people.
But what really makes Ningbo people take off is that, judging from the situation, the transition to modern shipping, finance, industry and other emerging areas, creating a hundred or so national firsts, emergence of a number of "king", writing the history of China's industrial and commercial centuries of splendor. the late 19th century, the beginning of the 20th century, a survey was done, the foreign immigrants living in Shanghai. In the foreign immigrants living in Shanghai, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, the most people. In these immigrants appear in the influential industrial and commercial figures, Guangdong gang accounted for 10%, other gangs accounted for 20%, and Ningbo gang accounted for 70%! The Republic of China published in the period of China's commercial geography, said: "Shanghai, that is, said the Ningbo people of Shanghai." The most people in Shanghai is the Ningbo people, accounting for 1/3 of the household population, followed by Suzhou people, mainly after the liberation of the suburbs into Shanghai, behind the Shaoxing and the old Shanghai before fleeing to work in the north of Jiangsu! Now there are nearly 10 million foreign workers in Shanghai, Anhui accounted for 2.48 million, but these people are not really Shanghainese [a flash of light] 2019 Oriental TV in the 150th anniversary of the Shanghai-Ningbo navigation in the introduction of the largest source of Shanghai's household population is the people of Ningbo, accounting for 1/3 of the total population, who are engaged in the financial, shipping, industry and commerce in Shanghai, is the most important people in the development of Shanghai's history!
Because of geographic and cultural factors, the majority of Shanghai's ancestry comes from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with a small portion coming from Shandong, Anhui, Guangdong, Henan, Jiangxi, and so on, and if you break it down to the cities Suzhou, Wuxi, Yancheng, Yangzhou, Ningbo, Huzhou, and Jiaxing, which are the most numerous.
Shanghai is very close to the sea, the original population here is very sparse, and then the neighboring (including Suzhou, Jiaxing, Wuxi, etc.) population slowly migrated here, the population here to form a certain scale. These are the original inhabitants of Shanghai, the late Qing Dynasty, the opening of the port of Shanghai, Shanghai has become a leading metropolis, thus attracting a large number of merchants from the north and south, of course, still to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas of the businessmen, the most famous of which is the Ningbo merchants. The most famous of them were the Ningbo merchants. The word "ala" in Shanghainese is said to be influenced by the Ningbo dialect.
In the late Qing Dynasty, there was the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, and the war spread to the southern part of Jiangsu Province, and a large number of people from the southern part of Jiangsu Province fled to Shanghai to avoid the war, and the development of Yangzhou was in the doldrums due to the reform of the salt industry in the Qing Dynasty, coupled with the impact of the Industrial Revolution in the West, and at this time, Shanghai had already emerged, and therefore, some of the practitioners of the industries in Yangzhou moved to Shanghai for the sake of development, for example, Yangzhou's Three Knives, and so on. Since the Yellow River after the capture of the Huaihuai, the north of Jiangsu Province is often flooded, the end of the Qing Dynasty, the north of Jiangsu Province and several major floods, washed away the houses, drowning crops, Yancheng area was the most seriously affected by this time, Shanghai's economy is developed, there are many trades, so there are a large number of refugees from the north of Jiangsu Province in order to make a living and migrate to Shanghai.
Shanghai before the opening of the port, belonging to the Suzhou Songjiang Province under the jurisdiction of the fishing village nature. Under the foreign guns and cannons of the Eight-Power Allied Forces, it was divided into several concessions and the construction of the Ten Mile Ocean Park began.
At the beginning of the old Shanghai, Suzhou and Shaoxing, Hangzhou people due to geographical proximity, more people came to Shanghai to do business. Ningbo is a seaport city, some engaged in maritime transportation businessmen have also come to Shanghai to look for business opportunities, and foreigners to cooperate in business. So, in the past, people in Shanghai gossiped that the big bosses in Shanghai are all Ningbo people, and there are some basis for this.
The prosperity of the old Shanghai, but also the support of the bottom of society, people from all over the world to make a living have come. At this time when the old China is the most chaotic end of the Qing dynasty, the soldiers and bandits around the chaos as hemp, the people are difficult to follow the day, the people do not want to live. Refugees flocked to Shanghai to warm up, the old Shanghai's various civic organizations have appeared, rogues Fei rampant ...
Shanghai people's component, with a few geographical areas is difficult to say accurately, can only say that the people of East China accounted for most of the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces, which is the largest number of people. Shandong and Anhui in the past due to the Huaihe River and the Yellow River floods, and caused by the refugees to supplement, as well as some other parts of the displaced refugees and so on. The main reason for the migration of business investment to Shanghai is Suzhou people, Ningbo people, Shaoxing people, and Guangzhou people and Foshan people.
The Guangzhou people are mainly the merchants of the past Xiguan Thirteen Houses who came first, while the Foshan people are the ones who are doing the industrialization.
This is the basic situation of the formation of the Shanghai people after the opening of Shanghai, there are omissions, welcome to criticize and correct.
I'm not a Shanghainese, but my family has been entangled with Shanghai for several generations, and the pre-liberation Shanghai rice stores and textile factories, and my family's assets. The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night.
Shanghai as a domestic metropolis, there are a lot of people born in Shanghai, but the ancestry is not Shanghai, now we look at the entertainment circle born in Shanghai, the ancestry is not Shanghai star ancestry from which?

In fact, it seems that many Shanghainese people's ancestral home is from Jiangsu, Zhejiang The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money to pay for it. You also know which Shanghai star ancestry? You're welcome to add to the list.
The old Shanghai that is, before the liberation of the general to Shanghai Jiangzhe majority, followed by Shandong Guangdong, other places less. South Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Shanghai to do business to make a living more, North Shandong disaster escape more, the old Shanghai downtown a lot of Cantonese stores, the four major companies are Guangdong people open, their employees are brought from their hometowns, so Shanghai is also a lot of Guangdong origin.
Shanghai people's ancestry mainly depends on the distribution of the region, about 60% of the urban area from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, about 10% of Shanghai locals, 30% from all over the country to Anhui, Shandong, Henan, Sichuan and so on most of the suburbs of Shanghai, 50% of Shanghai locals, such as Baoshan, Jiading, Songjiang, Pudong, Fengxian, Qingpu, Minhang, Jinshan and other places where the locals are dominated by, there are still 50% from the country below! All over the country, to Hui Lu Chuan Ji Yu Min people mostly! So Shanghai has a sea of people from all corners of the new Shanghai (people)! Comprehensive cosmopolitan city that synthesizes elite talents from all over the country!
