Where do the Hakkas come from?

Hakkas moved here from the Central Plains.

The theory of Hakka Central Plains holds that the main body of Hakka people is immigrants from the Central Plains, while the theory of Hakka aborigines holds that "Hakka * * is the same main body produced by the integration of Han people who moved south and ancient Vietnamese immigrants in the triangle area of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi, and its main body is the ancient Vietnamese living in this land, not a few Central Plains people living in this area".

Since the Song Dynasty, the Han nationality in the Central Plains moved southward on a large scale, passing through southern Jiangxi and western Fujian to Meizhou, and finally formed a relatively mature and stable Hakka family. Since then, Hakkas, based in Meizhou, have moved abroad in large numbers and moved to the whole country and even the rest of the world. The "three Hakka States" are Jiaying, Ganzhou and Tingzhou.

Five major migrations:

1. The first great migration: at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, it migrated from the Yellow River basin (with the Central Plains as the core) to the Jianghuai and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

2. The second great migration: At the end of the Tang Dynasty, it migrated from Jianghuai and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to south-central Jiangxi, and some of them crossed Wuyishan into western Fujian.

3. The third great migration: the southern crossing in the late Song Dynasty, that is, a large-scale migration from the south-central part of Jiangxi to western Fujian and even eastern Guangdong; The war at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty moved from western Fujian to eastern Guangdong on a large scale.

4. The fourth great migration: from eastern Guangdong and western Fujian to central Guangdong, western Guangdong, Sichuan and Taiwan Province in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.

5. Fifth Great Migration: In the late Qing Dynasty, it migrated to southeast Guangxi and overseas.
