Basic introduction:

Hakkas, also known as Hakkas, are the Han nationality in China, Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi and other places, and are one of the most widely distributed and far-reaching nationalities in the world.

Hakka originated in Rongbaiyue period in Lingnan, Qin Zheng, and experienced Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang and Song Dynasties. Because of the war and other reasons, they gradually moved to the south of the Yangtze River, and then to Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi. At the latest in the Southern Song Dynasty, they formed a relatively stable Hakka ethnic group-Hakkas, and then migrated to southern provinces, even Southeast Asia and other parts of the world, and finally became an important ethnic group with unique humanity among the Han people.

According to the estimation of relevant scholars, there are about 80 million Hakkas in the world. Among them, about 50 million people are distributed in more than 80 counties (cities) in Guangdong, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangxi, Sichuan, Hunan, Hainan, Zhejiang and other 19 provinces (cities, autonomous regions) in China. The number of local Hakkas in Guangdong Province is about 25 million, accounting for one third of the local ethnic groups in Guangdong. About 6 million people are distributed in Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province Province, and about150,000 people are distributed in more than 80 countries and regions except China (which originated from the Hakka movement in Southeast Asia hundreds of years ago). Hakka dialect is also an important part of the local language.

Huizhou, Meizhou, Ganzhou, Longyan, Heyuan, Shaoguan, Hezhou, Yulin, Fangchenggang, Sabah and Hsinchu are important Hakka cities, and Meizhou, Huizhou, Ganzhou and Tingzhou are called "four Hakka States".
