As China people, why do Hakkas like to live in the mountains?

Hakka people are scattered, and most of them gather in mountainous or remote areas. Therefore, some scholars falsely claim that the Hakkas are not from China when pursuing their origins, and add their characters to Yan, calling them "savage tribes" in uncivilized language.

Until Professor Luo Xianglin, the pioneer of Hakka culture research, compiled An Introduction to Hakka Studies, which scientifically proved that Hakkas are a branch of the Han nationality, and also demonstrated in detail that the origin of Hakkas is "the old man dressed in clothes in the Central Plains" and defended their social status.

In 22 1 year BC, Qin Shihuang unified the six countries. In the 28th year of Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang sent Tu Youyou to lead an army of 500,000 troops into Lingnan in five ways. Five years later, the vast area of Lingnan was unified and Nanhai County was established, so the ancient city Longchuan became one of the three ancient counties in Lingnan. Zhao Tuo became the first county magistrate. During his tenure, he thought about what to do if he couldn't go back later. At that time, the Qin dynasty had reached the end of the Qin dynasty, and the whole country was at war. It is impossible to go back. Simply apply to Qin Ershi (Qin Shihuang was dead at that time) for 30,000 widows, that is, widowed women, to mend clothes for the army.

The laudatory name is: promoting the great unity of the Han and Vietnamese nationalities, in fact, you know. Qin Ershi was also very helpful, so he sent out half of the applications: 654.38+500,000. After the Qin Dynasty, many of these soldiers who stayed in Lingnan became the earliest Hakka ancestors.

Since then, the Hakkas have experienced five great migrations.

The first time began in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Influenced by the Five Dynasties Rebellion and the southward crossing of the Jin Dynasty, some Han people in the Central Plains moved southward, staying in southern Hubei, Henan, Anhui and Jiangxi along the Yangtze River and upstream and downstream of the Ganjiang River.

The second time, influenced by the Huang Chao incident, the descendants of Han immigrants from the Central Plains moved south again and settled in southwest Fujian and northeast Guangdong.

The third great migration was influenced by the southward migration of Jin people, the southward migration of Song people and the entry of Yuan people. Some Hakka ancestors moved from Gannan to western Fujian and then to northeastern Guangdong.

The fourth migration began in a.d. 1645. Influenced by Manchu people's southward entry into the Central Plains, some Hakkas moved from Hakka base camp to the central coastal areas of Guangdong and Sichuan, Guangxi, Hunan, Guizhou, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Taiwan provinces.

The last great migration was after 1867. Affected by the Guangdong West Road incident and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom incident, some Hakkas moved to Hainan Island in southwest Guangdong and overseas.

The continuous war has caused them to move south in large numbers. In order to survive, they have to leave their familiar homes, form their own Hakka ethnic groups in the long migration, and find suitable places to live and settle down.

Every mountain has guests, and every guest has a mountain.

After thousands of years of migration, searching everywhere, long-term settlement, survival, reproduction and development, Hakka people finally formed their own unique system, which was recognized by the outside world-Hakka people.

In the long-term historical development, the Hakkas' clans have formed a Hakka consciousness which is universally shared by Hakkas, mutually recognized and embodies the internal strength of the clan, that is, "the characteristics of Hakkas-the nature of Hakkas."

Hakka people have a strong sense of self-confidence, self-reliance, self-improvement and hard work. It is precisely because of this "four-self" magic weapon that Hakkas can take root and survive and develop in any environment during the harsh migration process.
