Is Hakka a nation?

The ancestors of Hakkas were originally Han Chinese in the Central Plains. Due to war, famine and government rewards and punishments, they moved south and spread to Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Hunan, Taiwan Province and other provinces and regions and more than 70 countries and regions in the world. At present, there are more than 1 billion Hakkas in the world. ?

Hakka ancestors moved south from the Central Plains for five times. Between Qin and Han Dynasties, Zhao Tuo became the king of South Vietnam. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops south to pacify South Vietnam, and then on the basis of the three counties in southern Xinjiang in the Qin Dynasty, nine counties were set up, including Minzhong County.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow Scarf Uprising led to frequent wars. A large number of Han people living in the Yellow River basin have moved south, as the saying goes, "Heroes fight for the middle earth and Li Shu goes south."

Extended data:

Hakkas are an important group and have lived in southern China for more than 2,000 years since the Qin Dynasty. It is one of the major local ethnic groups in Guangdong (Guangfu, Hakka, Chaoshan, Gaoliang, Siyi, Hailufeng, Shao Min in northern Guangdong, etc.) and one of the important local ethnic groups in Jiangxi and Fujian.

Several major ethnic groups in Guangdong are all mixed and assimilated by the earliest indigenous Baiyue in Lingnan.

Hakka clans did not form later than other clans in Guangdong.

Because Hakka dialect was originally appealing to both refined and popular tastes in the Central Plains, it only absorbed some indigenous languages in the South, but its main body is still medieval elegance, which can correspond to the pronunciations recorded in ancient rhyme books such as Qieyun, Tangyun, Guang Yun and Jiyun, and also retains a large number of classical Chinese words, such as you, me, he is Er, Wu and their ancient sounds.

Hakkas came to Guangdong no later than other nationalities. The earliest settlers in Meizhou, Heyuan, Huizhou and other places in Guangdong were the Hakka ancestors who integrated the original ancient Yue ethnic group.
