Hakka ancestral culture
Shibi in Ninghua is the birthplace of Hakka folk culture, where the most primitive Hakka dialects have been formed, the oldest Hakka folk art, folk songs and operas have been introduced and disseminated, and the most primitive Hakka costumes have been made, which has continued the earliest Hakka customs and habits. Ninghua and its Shibi dialect retain many elements of the ancient Chinese in the Central Plains, while changes have taken place in phonology, vocabulary and grammar. And become a new language family-Hakka. Hakka dialects have evolved with the migration of Hakka ancestors, but the voiced mother of modern Hakka dialects was formed in Shibi, and Ninghua and its Shibi dialect became the source of Hakka dialects. Ninghua Hakka folk art is colorful, where you can find traces of ancient Central Plains culture with Hakka characteristics. In particular, Qupeng, Daole and other Hakka folk songs and ballads with a long history are deeply loved by Hakkas and are the treasures of Shibi traditional culture. Hakka music is rich in content, including homesickness songs, exhortation songs, love songs and revolutionary folk songs. Nowadays, there are still a large number of folk singers in the villages around Shibi, from the old to the dolls, who can improvise a few authentic Hakka folk songs. Ninghua Hakka costumes not only retain the broad characteristics of the Central Plains, but also incorporate the short and narrow characteristics of local ethnic minorities. In the past, women used five gold and silver hair clips to comb into a bun (boat-shaped), put on a veil (apron) with embroidery or peach blossom patterns on the upper part, and wore embroidered shoes on their feet. Embroidered shoes for middle-aged and elderly people are mostly blue and green. Children have embroidered Chinese-style chest covering with fishtail hat, cool ring or dog head hat, all embroidered, carrying a bag and hanging a longevity lock or Yu Pei; Men used to wear belts and wallets. The Hakka custom in Ninghua inherits the tradition of the Han nationality in the Central Plains and adapts to the special environment in the southern mountainous areas, such as its values of filial piety, benevolence, education, frugality, courtesy and hospitality.
