Who is the Hakka? Why did the Hakka ancestors come from Jiangxi?

Strictly speaking, most Hakkas have moved out of Jiangxi. Hakkas can also be interpreted as people who live far away from home. Hakka people have recorded five large-scale migrations, and there are other important strongholds in Jiangxi. ?

At first, Hakkas migrated in the late Western Jin Dynasty. After the Eight Kings Rebellion, there were five rebellions in China, and bandits in the northern region made insurrections everywhere. Facing the increasingly serious life threat, the Han nationality in Shanxi and Taiyuan started the first large-scale migration in history. The specific route is from the Central Plains to Nanyang, Henan, then to Xiangyang, along the Hanshui River into the Yangtze River basin, and then to Hubei, Jiangsu and Anhui. A group of southernmost people arrived in Poyang Lake via Jiujiang, and then headed for the hinterland of Jiangxi along the Ganjiang River. The general route of migration of a group of Hakkas

In order to survive, some people along the way feel that the environment can survive and will start to settle in the local area. Of course, during that period, most Hakkas gathered in Jiangsu and Anhui. A small amount entered Jiangxi. The migration time lasted 170 years.

The second migration began after the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty. The situation in the Central Plains was once again chaotic, and most people moved south again. It is very uncomfortable to carry out a large-scale battle in the Jianghuai area, which was historically called the Jianghuai melee at the end of the Tang Dynasty. Most Hakkas who have settled in Jianghuai are facing the threat of life and move south again. At that time, the Central Plains was in chaos, and parts of southwestern Fujian, southwestern Jiangxi and northeastern Guangdong were peaceful. (The historical description of the event is as follows: only the south of Jiangxi, the southwest of Fujian and the northeast of Guangdong & ldquo This is a paradise. As a result, a large number of Han Chinese moved to Jiangxi, among which Ganzhou is one of the largest gathering places for Hakkas. ?

Because of the long journey and being prepared for danger in times of peace, most people settled in Jiangxi when they arrived in Ganzhou, which had been affected by the war. This migration route starts from Jiujiang to Poyang Lake, and then goes north along the Ganjiang River to reach the source of Ganjiang River. Some people stayed in Gannan, while others continued to March into Fujian and Guangzhou. Generally, the time is over 90 years.

The process of Hakkas' continuous southward migration is also the process of Han people's continuous development of southern Shan Ye. The third migration was the change of Jingkang. Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, was captured by the Nomads, and Song Gaozong had to cross south, claiming the title of emperor in Lin 'an, which is today's Hangzhou. A large number of Central Plains immigrants moved south. The rise of Mongolia took the lead in destroying the Northern Jin Dynasty and then attacked the Southern Song Dynasty. The border between Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong became a battleground for military strategists in the Southern Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty. Hakka people who have been recuperating for nearly a hundred years are forced to migrate again. This is why most Hakkas say they are from Jiangxi.
