The so-called "Hakka" refers to the Han people in the Central Plains who originally came from Henan Province. They moved south because of the war in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and then gradually became a branch of the Han people with unique Hakka style and culture in several migrations. The most striking feature of Hakka people is to speak Hakka dialect, which is also one of the eight major language families of the Han nationality.

According to the survey, there are about 45 million Hakkas in the world, 5 million in foreign countries and 40 million in China. Most foreign Hakkas are concentrated in Southeast Asia, while domestic Hakkas are concentrated in southern Jiangxi, Guangdong and southern Fujian.

In the history, the Han people moved south five times because of the war, and now they have Hakka culture.

During the first great migration, the northwest minorities invaded the Central Plains, which caused a situation of "five random China" for the Han people, and officials and people in the Central Plains region went south in succession. In order to distinguish between aborigines and foreign Han Chinese, the local government called these new foreign household registrations "guests". This is also the first time that "Hakkas" appeared in Chinese history.

During the second great migration, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and the Huang Chao Uprising, the Hakka people did not escape the war, but moved from their original residence to the south of the Yangtze River, the north of Guangdong and the west of Fujian.

The third migration, Jin and Yuan invasions, Wen Tianxiang organized to resist the invasion, and after the failure. Song Gaozong fled to the south, and after the demise of the Song Dynasty, they had to flee to the more remote eastern and northern parts of Guangdong for safety.

The fourth migration was during the reign of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty. In order to win the hearts and minds of the people in the south, Kangxi gave out silver coins to encourage Hakkas to move to Sichuan, Guangxi and Taiwan Province. The ancestors of our beloved Commander-in-Chief Zhu also moved from Shaoguan to Sichuan in this migration.

The fifth migration took place during the Tianping Uprising. Due to the failure of the uprising of Hong Xiuquan, the leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, under the pressure of the Qing government, Hakkas had to retreat to the south, and some even migrated overseas.

Hakka culture has the following characteristics:

First, the most striking feature of Hakka people is to speak Hakka dialect. Some experts think that Hakka dialect is particularly similar to ancient Chinese, so Hakka dialect is also called "living fossil".

Second, Hakkas are mainly distributed in Guangdong, Fujian and Jiangxi provinces, and there are also a large number of Hakkas in Guangxi, Hongkong, Taiwan Province and abroad.

Third, Hakka's architectural style "Surrounding Dragon House" is famous overseas and is also one of the important Hakka cultures.

Fourth, Hakka women do not bind their feet, which is also different from traditional Han women. Hakka women teach their children at home in peacetime, and they will also take up arms and go to the battlefield in war. Who says women are not as good as men? )

The Hakkas are very loyal and patriotic.

Time 1500 years, five great migrations, this is a history of Hakka blood and tears. Hakkas are a branch of Chinese people, whose blood is soluble in water. They are all our relatives at home and abroad.
