Is the Hakka family Han?

The Hakka people are the Hakka people. The Hakka people are a branch of the Han nationality and belong to the Han nationality.

In addition to the Hakka ethnic group, the Han people also have eight major ethnic groups, including the northern ethnic group, the Huguang ethnic group, the Jianghuai ethnic group, and the Wuyue ethnic group.

Hakka is an excellent branch of the Chinese nation. The ancestors of the Hakkas were originally the Han people in the Yellow River and Huaihe River Basin, the cradle of Chinese civilization. Starting from the Tang and Song Dynasties, a large number of them moved south due to natural disasters, wars and other reasons. They first took root in the vast mountainous areas at the junction of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi, and later spread to the southern provinces and overseas.

There are now tens of millions of Hakkas living in more than 70 countries and regions around the world.

Extended information:

The Hakka people are called "Oriental Jews". Starting from the Tang and Song Dynasties, due to natural disasters and wars, they moved south in large numbers. After the "six great migrations" in history, perhaps it is precisely because of these great migrations that many people think that the Hakkas are an ethnic minority.

They first took root in the vast mountainous areas at the junction of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi, and later spread to the southern provinces and overseas. There are now 200 million Hakkas living in more than 70 countries and regions around the world. People often say: "Wherever there is the sun, there are Chinese, and wherever there are Chinese, there are Hakkas." The Hakkas have become one of the most widespread and far-reaching ethnic groups in the world today.

Hakka culture originated from the Heluo culture and Central Plains culture of the Tang and Song Dynasties that were retained by the Han people from the Central Plains when they moved southward. It also absorbed the cultures of the Miao, Yao and She ethnic groups, and merged with the Southern Cantonese culture native to Guangdong. That is, Lingnan culture or Guangdong culture), while the Hakka people in southern Jiangxi Province have integrated Wu culture and Chu culture.

Coupled with the environmental impact of long-term living in hilly areas, a distinctive Hakka culture has been formed. Different branches of the Hakka people also have different cultural characteristics. The Hakka people are also known as the "people on the hills".

The Hakka ethnic group is a great ethnic group. Since modern times, Hakka heroes have emerged in large numbers, fighting arduously for national independence and national liberation, and writing sad and tearful historical chapters.

Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing of the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom"; Feng Tianxiang, who "has never died since ancient times, leaving pictures to illuminate history"; "a generation of literary giants" Guo Moruo, "Father of the Nation" Sun Yat-sen; "historical poet" Huang Zunxian; "Ten "Generalissimo" Ye Jianying and so on, these names that have shocked the world in history are all Hakka people.

In summary, the Hakkas are a unique and stable ethnic group of the Han nation formed due to historical reasons, but they are not an independent nation. They have the same interests and have a unique and stable Hakka identity. Language, culture, folk customs and emotional mentality (i.e. Hakka spirit).
