According to the records in "History of Liao Geography", the place names of the counties and counties in the Central Plains that migrated with the Han people's northward migration are listed as follows:

The large number of Han people who migrated to the north and the Bohai people in the Liao area greatly promoted the development of local agriculture, which became an important reason for the development of the agricultural economy in northern China during the Liao Dynasty; at the same time It also promoted the development and progress of Khitan society and accelerated the historical process of ethnic integration in the Liao Dynasty.
