These immigrants are of two categories: the first were people who fled the Central Plains during perennial wars at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty and Tang Dynasty. They found refuge in Huizhou in the recess of the mountains where they settled down. The second were officials who remained in the region after their tenure expired. Many of these are the ancestors of eminent families in Huizhou.
These immigtants brought with them Confucianism and a better civilization, which was gradually incorporated into the local mountainous culture. At last a new regional culture came into being that was based on Confucianism.
