How to inherit and carry forward Hakka spirit

First, be brave in pioneering and enterprising.

The history of Hakka development is a history of arduous adventure and tenacious struggle. The hardships of wind and rain cast their indomitable and self-improvement character. These proverbs, "don't rely on relatives, rely on your own ambition", "People have ambition, bamboo has joints, and people have ambition to build the world with joints", "The mountain is higher than the foot board, and the stone is harder than the palm of your hand", all of which are excellent portrayal of Hakka people's unremitting self-improvement and pioneering spirit. Strong pioneering spirit is the first prerequisite for the success of Hakka immigration movement. It is this pioneering spirit that inspires them to overcome all difficulties with indomitable perseverance and indomitable courage.

Second, the persistent spirit of Chongwen.

Hakka people have inherited the fine tradition of Chinese civilization in the Central Plains and have always respected and respected education.

Hakkas have suffered a lot in the immigration movement. They hope that through education, their children and grandchildren can "learn to be officials". At the same time, in order to make a living, do business and be an official, we should also learn cultural knowledge; Therefore, the cultural and educational undertakings in Hakka areas have always been relatively developed. In addition, in the Hakka clan society, the social status of the clan is often closely related to the number and knowledge level of the gentry students in the family. If you are in a high position and have a large number of people, the family will have a strong voice; If you are low in status or widowed, your family is not obvious. In order to strengthen the family's right to speak and prestige, each family made every effort to raise funds to set up a family school and train their children, hoping that they could be admitted to the No.1 scholar and become the No.1 scholar. In the old society, anyone who got more than one person could erect a "lintel pole" to show his fame and honor, so as to honor the lintel and honor his ancestors. Therefore, Hakka people regard the education of family children as a major event. Custom rules, written in the family tree. As scholar Cui Can said in three papers about Hakkas: "The enthusiasm of Hakkas for education originated from the Central Plains, and greatly surpassed it. Most people in the Central Plains run education, and most of them are children of nobles or rich people. Children of the poor are often rejected. The education provided by Hakkas is for the benefit of the people, as long as they are children of the same clan, regardless of wealth ... "For this reason, there are many proverbs that Hakkas encourage their children and grandchildren to study, such as" pine and cypress are planted in barren hills, poor children study "and" study while the iron is hot ",which vividly depicts the situation that Hakkas attach importance to education.

Third, a strong sense of advocating the supremacy of reporting.

Historically, Hakka ancestors were forced to move south and left their homes all the year round. Wandering outside, they still "miss their relatives twice during the festive season." After years of migration, the Hakkas wandering abroad are naturally particularly devout in their nostalgia for their homeland and worship of their ancestors. Their descendants inherited this tradition with Confucian ideas, and the color became stronger. No matter where they move, even overseas, Hakkas will never forget where their ancestors came from. "Pick melons and find vines, advocate newspaper first". This awareness of giving thanks to newspapers first is strongly reflected in their worship of their ancestors.

Almost every household in the vast Hakka area worships ancestral tablets, and all surnames are widely popular to worship ancestors and repair genealogy. When we turn over the genealogy of every Hakka surname, there is bound to be a proverb "One tree has roots, and one water is active", and it is inevitable to describe the origin and spread of the clan in detail. Proverbs such as "never leave your hometown, never leave your relatives, never leave your ancestors" and "there are sun and moon in the sky, and one has a conscience" abound. The purpose is to warn future generations that no matter rich or poor, no one can forget where their roots are and what they stand on. In all parts of the mainland, Hakkas are all ethnic groups, and they worship their ancestors every spring and autumn. Some elderly Hakka overseas Chinese have returned to the motherland for a dozen or twenty times, which is deeply touching.

Fourth, the strong spirit of patriotism and love for hometown has made important contributions to Hakka people.

Hakkas have left their homes because they fled. In the homeless drift from place to place, the pain of being separated from their relatives and homeland makes them more patriotic and homesick than other ethnic groups of Han nationality. Strong desire for home stability, national prosperity and national rise. This feeling is fully reflected in Hakka proverbs: "Only when there is soil can there be flowers, and only when there is a country can there be a home", "The country is rich and strong, and the country destroys the people" ... expressing strong patriotism and love for hometown. Another example is: "I am far away from my hometown, and my hometown is unforgettable", "Other people's dragon beds are not as good as their own kennels" and so on. To express my deep love for my hometown.

Missionary Kembe said: "The guests are indeed the most prominent and powerful faction of the Chinese nation. Their migration to the south was not humiliated by foreign rule. Because they have been displaced from place to place and gone through hardships, they will certainly cultivate a patriotic mentality of loving their country and their family. This spirit of sharing common enemy will increasingly contribute to the future of the Chinese nation. "
