Shangyou, Jiangxi is one of the important birthplaces of Hakka's living and reproduction and Hakka culture. However, for various reasons, some traditional Hakka cultural projects are on the verge of extinction. Therefore, Shangyou County mobilized organizations and social forces at all levels to rescue Hakka cultural heritage and tap Hakka cultural resources. "Nine Lions Worship Elephants" is a large lantern unique to Shangyou County. Shangyou County invested heavily in organizing folk artists to redevelop and save this Hakka cultural heritage. Last year, "Nine Lions Worship the Elephant" participated in the first folk art performance in Gannan, Ganzhou City, and won five first prizes in craft production, folk culture and performance.
In recent years, the county has also collected and sorted out Hakka lintels, Hakka dialects, Hakka folk songs, Hakka proverbs, common sayings, two-part allegorical sayings, etc., and has successively edited and published books such as Inscription of the lintel, Selected Hakka Proverbs in Shangyou, and Hakka Traditional Wedding and Funeral Customs before Camp, which are deeply loved by the masses. The novels, essays and other literary works created by Li Boyong, one of the top ten literary and art workers in the province, are rich in Hakka language and are known as "a wonderful flower of local cultural creation". Hakka folk songs in Shangyou have unique charm. At present, there are more than 50 kinds of Hakka folk songs/kloc-0, and more than 40 kinds of folk suona Hakka folk songs. The 10 Hakka folk songs compiled by Lai Lianggan in this county were compiled into Jiangxi Folk Songs Integration.
In the landscape of Meijiao Town, Xingguo County, Jiangxi Province, there is a magical and beautiful village-Sanliao. Known as "the birthplace of Kanyu culture" and "the first village of Feng Shui culture in China". In recent years, groups of tourists from inside and outside the province, as well as overseas Hakkas, and even some news media, have come here in succession to look for traces of their ancestors and the mysteries of mountains and rivers.
This big village with a population of more than 4,000 is mostly named after Zeng and Liao. Sanliao, located in the hinterland, is famous for its geomantic master Yang Junsong. Yang is called the poverty alleviation fairy by the world for saving the world and helping the poor. In charge of the geography of Lingtai in the imperial court, he was worshipped as Dr. Jin Guanglu. In the sixth year of Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao took Chang 'an, which shocked the ruling and opposition parties. Yang Junsong left Beijing with the secret of court geomantic omen and settled in Sanliao. Yang Junsong, who is good at geomantic omen and astronomical geography, found that the topography of Sanliao Village is like a geomantic compass, and the orientation of a rocky mountain in the basin is also like a pointer in the compass. So, Yang Junsong, who was adrift, took his two apprentices, Zeng Wen and Liao, and built three huts here to settle down, hence the name Sanliao. Since then, Yang Junsong has been teaching and writing here, creating and spreading his theory of honesty. Under his advocacy, China's folk geomantic culture has been circulating endlessly for thousands of years, prevailing at home and abroad.
