Is Hakka daughter-in-law good?

Hakka women are women with Hakka characteristics. They are a unique group of Han women and the only one among Han women who has never had the bad habit of foot binding. Hakka women have exercised their unique diligence, hard work and tenacity, as well as strong living ability in the long-term social practice. British scholar Edel said in his book Introduction to Hakka Species: "Hakka women are the most beautiful working women in China." Hakka women embody the excellent qualities and spirits of Hakka people, such as diligence, simplicity, perseverance, self-improvement, intelligence and enterprising, and shape the image and spiritual outlook of Hakka people more completely and fully. When talking about the noble and great character, thoughts and sentiments of Hakkas, every Hakkas or people who know the life of Hakkas will suddenly show a picture: the first light of dawn, the scorching sun, the sunset arrival in a lonely country, the persistence and cultivation of four barefoot, or a dish of pickles and a bowl of porridge on the dining table. They shine with the aura of hard work, diligence, perseverance, intelligence and kindness, all of which are shocked and impressed by their spirit of struggling for survival and inspiring people. In addition, Hakka women have many characteristics, such as clothing and living habits, which have become a beautiful scenery. Of course, behind the hard work, courage, intelligence and kindness of Hakka women, Hakka women still have a side worthy of sympathy and regret. Like other women in feudal society, many of them were treated unfairly. The social image of Hakka women is 1. Diligence and frugality: Most Hakkas live in mountainous areas. This is the truth that "every mountain must have a guest, and there is no guest to live in." Because the countryside is scarce, the land is barren, and it is not easy to make a living, so most men go away to make a living. So, farming, housework, educating children, spinning and so on. Not only do you have to take care of housework, take care of the old and the young, but you also have to go out to work. All the work of chopping wood and farming in the fields has to be shouldered, forming a "men go out and women stay behind; Male industry and commerce, female farming "complementary family model. They dug in the narrow ravine and worked all day. This is quite different from the old habit in North China that women are forbidden to work in the fields and think that "women have been working in the fields for three consecutive years". The so-called "male ploughing and female weaving" is not applicable in pure Hakka areas. The women in Chaoshan haven't worked in the fields yet. Therefore, women in Hakka areas are relatively strong and have the ability to live independently. Therefore, the most prominent feature of Hakka women is their rare diligence, hard work and frugality. The traditional customs of Hakka women's diligence, diligence and frugality are preserved not only in Hakka areas such as Fujian, Jiangxi and Guangdong, but also in Hakka women who migrated to Sichuan and even overseas. "Hakka Scenery in Northern Sichuan" says: "Hakka women are the most diligent. They are generally in good health. When they are not married, they read books and practice embroidery. Sometimes they help their mother or learn to cook or spin. They are busy all day and seldom have fun. ..... They are used to working and don't feel bitter. We know that most ordinary women are willing to be men's playthings all day. They give men everything except children for their husbands. Only Hakka women have washed away this shame. Most of them can run their own family life without relying on their husbands. Because they are willing to work, they can do anything. For example, they grow cotton, weave and sew by themselves. The problem of food is also solved in this way. It is purely' self-cultivation and self-weaving'. Coupled with rural by-products, such as raising chickens, ducks, geese and silkworms, or feeding rabbits, sheep and pigs. The annual income is also considerable. Their economy can be self-sufficient. If you go for a walk in Sancun when the sun rises, you will hear the sound of looms and string songs, which is endless. It really makes people admire unconsciously. They worked hard and the anniversary went on as usual, and they never heard a complaint. " Hakka women's industrious and thrifty spirit is exemplary. Hakka women are very labor-intensive, and often work at sunrise. When they have no leisure, their makeup is particularly plain, and they despise the beauty of whitewashing, which also means frugality. Because diligence and thrift have become traditional virtues, the education of daughters attaches great importance to the so-called four female workers: "housekeeping", "farm head", "kitchen head" and "needle head". The so-called "housekeeping" means that they should get up at dawn, be thrifty, keep everything clean inside and outside, sweep the floor and wash, take care of their grandparents and raise their children in an orderly way. The so-called "field head" means sowing and transplanting rice seedlings, driving cattle to plow fields, weeding and fertilizing, and harvesting grains so as not to make farmland barren. The so-called "the end of the stove and the end of the pot" means cooking, preparing soup and judging the five flavors. Everything is handy, you can learn cooking skills with one hand, and you have to cut grass and firewood as fuel. The so-called "sewing tail" means that sewing, embroidery, tailoring, textile and other needlework can be done by yourself. According to Hakka traditional customs, only by learning these female workers can they be considered as capable, qualified and standard women and marry a good husband. The folk song "Hakka Good Girl" vividly and concretely reflects this custom: diligent girl, cock crows to get up. Comb your hair and wash your face. Make tea soup first. The end of the stove and the bottom of the pot are bright and prosperous. Make breakfast, it's just dawn. Sprinkle water to sweep the floor, carry water full of tanks. Wash clothes after breakfast. Go up the mountain to collect firewood, in a hurry Rain flower grows vegetables, stews soup and boils pulp. Spinning and weaving, never leaving. Needle and thread end, clean the cupboard. Don't talk about right and wrong, don't talk about absurdity. Cherish children, such as the liver and intestines. Pay attention to making rice, without grains or chaff. When the guests arrive, they will discuss it in a low voice. Happy, pick out the homely. Eggs, duck eggs, lobster sauce, sour ginger. There are rice and wheat, but also know how to raise food. Simple tea and rice, honest clothes. The more you have, the more frugal you are. No rice to cook, resistant to ice and snow. Collect firewood to sell, don't enrich yourself, don't steal or rob, and do it well. Don't blame your husband, don't blame your parents ... what a good girl!
