About Hakka culture I. Hakka people

Hakka dialect, pronounced as "Haga" in both Hakka dialect and Chinese Cantonese dialect, originally means "customer", which is symmetrical with the local aborigines and later calls itself. With Luodai Town as the center, there are about 500,000 Hakkas living in more than a dozen surrounding towns and streets, accounting for more than 80% of the local population. Their cultural identity is marked by whether they can speak Hakka, their ancestral home and family background.

The ancestors of Hakkas once lived in the Central Plains of China. Due to social changes and wars, they moved to the south on a large scale five times, and gradually formed the Hakka clan, which became an important branch of the eight ethnic groups of the Han nationality. On the occasion of the fourth migration of Qingkanggan, the Hakkas migrated from southern Jiangxi, eastern Guangdong and northern Guangdong to Sichuan, Hunan, Guangxi, Taiwan Province and western Guangdong, which was called "westward movement" in the history of Hakka immigration, and the Hakkas in Sichuan basically came from this westward movement.

In addition, there is a tradition of playing folk songs on the Dragon Boat Festival every year. Men and women love songs, and there are many improvisational masterpieces, such as My Love Sister Cow, My Love Sister Collecting Clothes, and I was drunk after a drunk driving yesterday, all of which are rare masterpieces. There are many Hakka dishes, the most famous of which are Jiudou Bowl, Stuffed Tofu, brine chicken and so on. At present, the special dishes such as scalded goose in Luodai Supply and Marketing Cooperative Hotel, wild mushroom banquet in Xinmin Hotel, and crispy noodle soup in Hakka restaurant have become the special dishes of Hakka catering in Luodai, which are well known. It's summer, and when wild mushrooms (locally known as "Coprinus comatus") that can't be cultivated artificially come out of the mountain, diners come here for early adopters.
