What is the history and culture of the Hakka people?

The Hakka are an ethnic group or "sub-ethnic" of the Han nationality.

Generally speaking, the Hakka ethnic group originated from the Han people who migrated southward in the late Tang and early Song Dynasties and merged with parts of the She, Yao, and Nanyue ethnic groups ("Yue" also means "Yue") in the border areas of Fujian, Guangdong, and Jiangxi. "Guangdong", "Yue" and "Guangdong" in ancient times are Tongjia characters, referring to the indigenous inhabitants of Southeast Asia such as the Baiyue region in South China.

The main cultural characteristics of Hakka culture inherit the Han culture of the Central Plains in the medieval period, and are also mixed with the culture of the Nanyue (Southern Cantonese) people, thus forming a special Hakka culture.

Therefore, the term "Hakka" is a name for a Han ethnic group, not a racial concept, but a cultural concept.

The Hakka people are very united and cooperative. They mostly live in the Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi regions in mainland China, so they have a strong mountainous culture. The Hakka people are also known as the "people on the hills".

Because Hakkas travel all over the world, immigrate to the world, and have many successful people in overseas business circles, they are also known as "Oriental Jews".
