According to a large number of data, the ancestors of Hakkas once lived in the Central Plains of China. Due to social changes and wars, there have been five large-scale migrations to the south.

The first time was from the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties. During these hundreds of years, the root of the chaos was that after Sima Zhong proclaimed himself emperor, the ugly Jia Nanfeng killed Regent Yang Jun and abolished the Crown Prince, resulting in the rebellion of Sima Jia and the Eight Kings and crusaded against each other.
