Several origins of Laobiao:
1. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, many areas in eastern Hunan and Hunan were devastated by war. It was desolate and a large number of people from Jiangxi moved into Hunan. When these descendants of Jiangxi people who moved to Hunan returned to Jiangxi to pay homage to their ancestors, they liked to call the local Jiangxi people "old cousin", which means "cousin."
2. It is said that during the late Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was rescued from an accident in Jiangxi when he was not emperor. In order to repay the kindness of the people of Jiangxi at that time, people in Jiangxi could go to him directly in the name of their elder cousin if they encounter trouble.
3. Originating from the Hakka area in southern Jiangxi, the Cantonese who moved from eastern Guangdong called the locals "Laobiao" (because people in both places are Hakka). Later, it spread to the whole of Jiangxi and became "Laobiao". Another name for "fellow fellow".
4. Taoism and Feng Shui have been popular in Jiangxi since ancient times. People from nearby provinces like to hire Feng Shui masters from Jiangxi to see Feng Shui. As a Feng Shui magician, dials are a must-have, and people from other provinces call them laobiao. Jiangxi Feng Shui Master.
