What are Hakkas?

The so-called Hakka people refer to the Han people from the Central Plains who were originally from Henan. They moved south during the war in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and began to become a group of residents with a "special identity". In the subsequent migrations, they gradually became Today's Hakka ethnic group with unique features has formed. The Hakka ethnic group is a branch of the Chinese Han ethnic group. The most obvious characteristic of the Hakka people is that they speak Hakka, which is one of the eight major dialects of the Han nation. In history, the Hakka people migrated southward five times, with records spanning 1,500 years.

Currently, there are about 45 million Hakka people in the world. Among them, there are 40 million people in China and about 5 million people abroad. Hakkas are widely distributed overseas, and are more concentrated in Southeast Asia. Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew and internationally renowned writer Han Suyin are both Hakkas. There are 17 provinces and 185 cities and counties in China where Hakka people live together, including 50 pure Hakka counties where Hakka people account for more than 95%. The places where Hakka people are most concentrated are southern Jiangxi, southern Fujian and northeastern Guangdong. There are more than 20 million Hakkas in Guangdong, accounting for nearly 30% of the total population in the province, including 15 pure Hakka counties. In various countries in Southeast Asia and around the world, wherever there are Chinese, there are also Hakkas. Because the Hakka people tenaciously preserve the cultural traditions of the ancient Central Plains, apart from the linguistic variations due to historical and environmental reasons, most of the rest of their production and living habits still retain strong Central Plains heritage.

When they first arrived in the mountainous area, they first built thatched huts and wooden houses to live in. Then it was converted into a mud house. Use methods inherited from the primitive times in the north to make raw adobe bricks to build earth walls, or use rammed earth slabs to build earth walls. Both of them used local raw soil to build walls. There are two categories of the latter, which use raw soil and ingredients: one is built with ordinary clay slabs. Some use sticks and hammers to pound the walls with bamboo branches, wooden strips or broken rubble, stones, and fire bricks to enhance the rigidity of the walls; others use Sanhe soil (yellow mud, lime, sand) boards. When building walls, some also add gravel and pieces of stone. Some add tung oil, glutinous rice, red pond, egg white and other sticky substances to the Sanhe soil to make the soil wall stronger. This is a glorious page in the history of vernacular architecture created by the Hakkas, and a proud technological innovation in architectural science.

The Hakka ancestors moved south from the Central Plains and then came to mountainous areas where the land was narrow and densely populated and insufficient for food supply, so people had to expand outward. The Hakka people left the mountains and went to the world. While developing and promoting the economy, they also brought the essence of local cultures back to their hometowns.

The result of this exchange and absorption is that although the Hakka live in mountainous areas, their literary style is prosperous, resulting in a unique cultural atmosphere that is different from other ethnic groups. Hakka residential architecture is closely connected with the dragon - it not only retains the elegant form of the traditional culture of the Central Plains, but also incorporates the folk customs of witchcraft culture that strictly pay attention to Feng Shui, "dragon potential" and seat orientation. At the same time, it must be combined with the characteristics of the mountainous area, so The unique Hakka residential style appears in the architecture. Taken together, there are several main house styles as follows: "Weirong House", "Four Points of Gold", "Zou Ma House", "Five Phoenix House", "Column Multi-bar House", "Round House", etc. Among them, Weilongwu is the most popular and has the most "guest" flavor.

Answer: enpingdeer -, "Hakka means 'guest' or 'outsider'. Therefore, Hakka are outsiders." It can be seen that Hakka is relative to the "main" (indigenous) A kind of symmetry, the "Ke" of Hakka means outsider. "As a guest, we are at home." Those who visit a foreign country and call it home are called Hakkas.

The term "Hakka" generally reflects the Hakka people's historical experience of being guests all the time and being a guest everywhere, and the generosity and open-mindedness of "calling themselves guests". "Man is gifted with ambitions in all directions, and he can establish a constant guideline wherever he goes. When he is in a foreign land, he is still in my own land. When he enters a foreign land, he is his hometown." This is a song that has been circulated in the Hakka area for a long time. This ballad reflects the historical experience of the Hakka people leaving their homeland and traveling to other places. It also expresses the Hakka people's happy-go-lucky and broad-minded spirit. The magnanimity of "people are gifted with ambitions all over the world" and the spirit of "when you enter a foreign country, you are your hometown", which shows the Hakka people's heroic spirit of "being a guest in my home and calling myself a guest". Without this heroic spirit, how could the Hakka people be proud to be called or call themselves "Ke"?

Hakka, this resounding name, makes future generations of Hakka proud and proud. The formation process of the Hakka ethnic group allows people to clearly see the formation and development process of the Chinese nation; the Hakka spiritual culture of the Hakka people reflects the brilliance of the Chinese nation's extensive, profound and long-standing civilization. The magical and colorful Hakka spiritual culture needs us to inherit, carry forward and carry it forward
