Where did the Hakkas first migrate to Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi?

The theory of Hakka Central Plains holds that the main body of Hakkas is Central Plains immigrants, while the theory of Hakka aborigines holds that Hakkas are the * * * integration of Han people who moved south and ancient Vietnamese immigrants in the Fujian-Guangdong-Jiangxi triangle, and their main body is the ancient Vietnamese living in this land, not a few Central Plains people living in this area.

However, historians seem to be more in favor of the "Central Plains Theory", believing that Hakkas migrated from the Central Plains to the south and were a branch of the Han nationality in southern China. Because I am in a foreign land, I call myself "Heluolang" because I am attached to my hometown Heluo (Luohe Valley centered on Luoyang).

The earliest migration of Hakkas to the south can be traced back to the Qin Shihuang era, when the Han people in the Central Plains moved to Meizhou on a large scale, passing through Gannan and western Fujian, and finally formed a relatively mature and stable Hakka clan. Since then, Hakkas, based in Meizhou, have moved abroad in large numbers and moved to the whole country and even the rest of the world.

In this way, on the one hand, Hakka culture retains the mainstream characteristics of Central Plains culture, on the other hand, it accommodates the cultural essence of local ethnic groups.

Hakka ancestors originated in the Central Plains and Baiyue area in the south. After a long period of mutual integration, they lived in Jiangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Hunan, Taiwan Province, Qionglai and other provinces, and gradually spread out all over the world. Gannan is the first stop for Hakka ancestors to move south, and it is also one of the areas where Hakka people live most intensively. The origin of the term "Hakka" is related to the migration of Hakka ancestors. As far as their place of residence is concerned, these people are "guests" who moved from other places. It can be said that without migration, there would be no title of "Hakka".

Almost every large-scale war in the history of China has caused a great migration of Hakkas. According to historical records, there was a great migration of Hakka ancestors during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It is worth mentioning that there is also a special way of migration. It is said that in order to build the Epang Palace, Qin Shihuang drove tens of thousands of "wooden guests" from the Central Plains to the south of Jiangxi to cut trees and rejuvenate the country, but they stayed there before they were exhausted. This is probably the earliest ancestor of Hakka people in southern Jiangxi.
