Are Hakkas Han Chinese

Hakka people are mainly Han people, and the main characteristics of their culture show that they have inherited the Han culture in the Central Plains, so they should definitely be a branch of Han people. But this clan is not pure Han descent, and its culture is not pure Central Plains Han culture. Therefore, as a group, its members should include members of different nationalities who are integrated with each other and enjoy the same cultural characteristics.

So "Hakka" is a title of Han nationality, but it is not a racial concept, but a cultural concept. "Hakka" is the name of a branch of the Han nationality. This ethnic group, known as "Hakka", migrated to the south from the end of Tang Dynasty to the middle of Ming Dynasty, gathered in the border area of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi, and merged with the local She nationality and other aborigines.

A Han nationality with a unique dialect, culture and characteristics different from other Han nationalities. It is dominated by the Han nationality, and at the same time includes the She nationality, Yao nationality and other "customized" ethnic minorities.

In history, almost all ethnic groups have experienced the migration of past dynasties and developed to this day. Today, the aborigines in Beijing and Shanghai are mainly immigrants hundreds of years ago, especially in Guangdong, Fujian and Taiwan Province provinces. Therefore, in thousands of years of migration history, Hakkas, like other migrant groups, have become aborigines in many places.

Hakka originated in Qin Zheng Lingnan Rongbaiyue period and developed in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang and Song Dynasties. At the latest in the Southern Song Dynasty, a relatively stable ethnic group-Hakkas was formed.

There are about 80 million Hakkas in the world. Among them, about 50 million people are distributed in more than 80 cities and counties in South China 19 provinces, and the number of local Hakkas in Guangdong Province reaches about 25 million, accounting for one third of the local ethnic groups in Guangdong.

About 6 million people live in Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province Province, and about150,000 people live in more than 80 countries and regions such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, the United States, Peru and Mauritius. Hakka dialect is also an important part of the local language.
