"The Hakka people, Ya speaks Hakka", Hakka has become one of the most popular topics on the Internet recently. Whether you can understand Hakka has become a challenge that netizens are very keen on. The Hakka dialect is very local and difficult to understand, but it sounds very nice. The Hakka people also have a "net celebrity" addiction because of their dialect.
But what most people don't know is that Hakka is not a minority language, but belongs to a very pure Chinese system and is one of the seven major Chinese dialects. In most parts of China's southeast coast, Hakka is a language with a very large number of speakers.
Hakka is one of the Han ethnic groups. According to legend, the ancestors of Hakka can be traced back to the Qin Zhengling Nanrong Baiyue period. After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Qin Shihuang sent general Zhao Tuo to the south to conquer Baiyue in order to conquer the world. Afterwards, the Qin army who stayed in Lingnan intermarried with the aborigines and formed the Hakka ancestors. Therefore, the history of the Hakka people is very long.
In the first year of Yongkang in the Western Jin Dynasty (300 years), the Eight Kings Rebellion broke out in the Central Plains, and the northern minorities took the opportunity to go south, and the Central Plains fell into a turbulent situation of "five chaotic China". In order to avoid the war, a large number of Han people moved their families south, and the Hakka people in Lingnan further expanded. Many of the ancestors of the Hakka people were Han who moved south from the Central Plains. Under the new environment, the Han culture merged with the original culture of Lingnan to form a unique Hakka culture.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was a clash between different ethnic groups of the Han nationality in the Lingnan area. The cause was disputes over rural resources, coupled with government provocation and restrictions on the landlord system, which triggered a series of fighting. The century-long turmoil also caused the Hakka people to start a great migration, to settle in Hainan, Guangxi, and even overseas.
Because the Hakka people are forced to leave their hometowns and live in an unfamiliar place, they are not disturbed in order to fight bandits. The Hakka people are very united. Most of them live together and overcome difficulties together. This forms the unique architectural style of the Hakka-Hakka Tulou.
Hakka Tulou is a large-scale, mainly formed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are mainly three types of Wufenglou, Fanglou, and Yuanzhai, and large-scale residential buildings with rammed earth walls. Known as the "Oriental Ancient Castle". Hakka ancient buildings have absorbed the Han etiquette and local characteristics in architecture, and are full of artistic quality. In addition, the walls are sturdy and extremely defensive, which has become an important line of defense for the Hakka people against the invasion of bandits.
In 1851, Hong Xiuquan Jintian uprising, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement broke out. The main leaders in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are almost all Hakkas. In the beginning of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the six leaders of Yong'an to be crowned king were all Hakkas. In the later days, Chen Yucheng and Liu Xiucheng were also Hakkas. Hakka has also become the "national language" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In this peasant uprising campaign against the Qing Dynasty, the Hakka people also showed their bravery and skill in fighting, and they were not afraid of power.
Nowadays, Hakka culture has also entered the public eye through continuous inheritance and development, allowing people to understand this unique and long-standing Chinese culture. Hakka dialect is also called the "living fossil" of ancient Chinese in the Central Plains. It retains many of the words and pronunciations of ancient Chinese in the Central Plains, and is of great significance for people to study ancient Chinese. The current Hakka language has also become the trendiest of the new era with the help of the Internet and Hakka pop music.
