Why are there so many Hakkas in Chaoshan?

The origin of Hakkas began in the period of Qin Zheng Lingnan Rongbaiyue, and developed in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang and Song Dynasties. At the latest, a relatively stable ethnic group was formed in the Southern Song Dynasty, and they were called Hakkas.

There are about 8 million Hakkas in the world, and the number of local Hakkas in Guangdong Province is about 25 million, accounting for one third of the local ethnic groups in Guangdong. Hakkas are a very unique branch among the southern ethnic groups in China. These are considered to be? Guest? In the long history of migration, some people often have conflicts with people wherever they go, but they can always survive tenaciously and spread their branches and leaves. Whether it's language, folk customs or lifestyle, everything about them seems so magical.

But Hakkas are not ethnic minorities. On the contrary, they originated from the Han nationality in the Central Plains and are a branch of the Han nationality. As a group, Hakkas can be called a clan.

as the name implies, Hakka is? Guest for home? They are witnesses of many great migrations in history, and they are called Hakkas only when they live far away from their former homeland.

but in fact, the climate in the border areas of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi is humid, the soil is acidic and not fertile enough, and the terrain is mainly hilly, with many mountains and few fields, and there is a lack of fertile land, which is actually not suitable for the settlement of farming people.

However, in the chaotic war years, the disadvantages of inconvenient transportation and low agricultural level are the excellent conditions for building a paradise. Hakka people who settled in barren and remote land ushered in a relatively stable period of development.

Therefore, there will be many Hakkas in Chaoshan. Because of the inconvenient transportation, these people were too lazy to move in ancient times, so they settled here for a long time.
