Hakka is a unique ethnic group in the history of cultural development in China. Historically, due to the change of dynasties, wars, natural disasters and other factors, people living in the central plains Heluo area had to wander all the way, first east and then south. From the end of the Tang Dynasty, a population migration that lasted for thousands of years formed Hakka and Hakka culture that influenced the world. In this Hakka migration, three places are the most important: Ganzhou, Jiangxi, Meizhou, Guangdong and Tingzhou, Fujian.

These three States are the most concentrated settlements of Hakkas in history, and they have traveled from here to all parts of the country and even the whole world. Meizhou is known as the world's guest capital, and Tingzhou is the first of the three places. Guting Prefecture is now Changting, Fujian. Although Ganzhou and Meizhou are prefecture-level cities and Changting is only a county, in the eyes of Hakkas, Changting has a higher status. Historically, a large number of Hakkas have gone from Changting to the world, so Gu Ting is called "Hakka Capital of the World".

Changting has such an important influence on Hakka migration, mainly because of its geographical location. Changting, located at the southern foot of Wuyi Mountain, is the hub of the ancient road and the crossroads of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces. It is a commercial center connecting Ganzhou and Meizhou and the west gate of Fujian. Since ancient times, it has been known as "rich and prosperous, not reducing Jiangsu and Zhejiang Zhongzhou". Since the Tang Dynasty, Tingzhou has been one of the five famous states in Fujian, and has been an important state, county, road and government in Bamin for generations.

The development of more than 1000 years has left a precious ancient city for Tingzhou. After the construction of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the ancient city of Tingzhou has formed a unique pattern with mountains and water, the city in the mountains and the city in the water. The ancient city wall surrounds the whole city. From the two wings of Jinsha Temple at the top of Wolong Mountain, down the mountain, half of Wolong Mountain enters around the city, overlooking the whole city, like a bead on the neck of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Therefore, the ancient city of Tingzhou has the reputation of "Guanyin hanging beads".

The ancient city of Tingzhou was listed as the third batch of national historical and cultural cities as early as 1994. Now the well-preserved city wall is nearly three kilometers, with four gates: Chaotianmen, Wutongmen, Huijimen and Baozhumen. This ancient city was built in the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty, with a history of 1200 years. It was rebuilt and expanded in successive dynasties. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the wall factory was more than 5,000 meters and had twelve gates. There are mountains and water in the city, which is called "pillow mountain flows into the city", which not only embodies the superb architectural skills of ancient working people, but also has high artistic value.

With a prosperous business and a large population, Gu Tingfu developed into the largest city in western Fujian in the middle and late Qing Dynasty with strong economic strength. At the same time, it is also a historical city with prosperous culture, and countless cultural celebrities have left footprints in Tingzhou. Zhang Jiuling, a famous figure in the Tang Dynasty, and Song Ci, the originator of world forensic medicine, all worked here. Wen Tianxiang, a national hero, wrote a poem "Tingzhou" for Tingzhou, and a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty wrote a poem "Changting Daozhong" when he left Fujian. Huang Shen, Ji Xiaolan and Kang Yong were all deeply impressed by Changting's mountains, rivers and history, and wrote immortal poems, which have been circulated for thousands of years.

During the modern revolutionary war, Changting became an important revolutionary base, and many proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation, such as Chen Geng and Xu Teli, left footprints in Changting. At present, the Gospel Hospital in Tingzhou Ancient City used to be the Central Red Hospital, where Nanchang Rebel Army and Hongsi Army treated the wounded and sick. Geng Xin Villa is the former site of the headquarters and political department of Gongsi Army. Zhangjiaci is the former residence of Liu Shaoqi and the former site of Fujian Federation of Trade Unions. Qu Qiubai died heroically in Luohanling, Changting on 1935. Qu Qiubai Monument was erected at 1953 Luohanling, and Lu wrote an inscription for the monument.
