The foundation of Hakka traditional culture "Where does Hakka come from? This Han and Zhou (zh Plain native) has three generations, and lives in Heluo. Since the beginning of Jin Dynasty, the soldiers were in a state of chaos, and he went to the south. After the robbery of the Tang Dynasty, the robbery of the Song Dynasty sent a message to the distant wilderness, creating four industries, tracing back to the source and claiming to be a Millennium guest. Where is your hometown? A few ancestors, the old clan of the Central Plains, moved to Guangdong and Fujian. Since the end of the Song Dynasty, they settled in Ju 'an, stopped in Meizhou, resumed broadcasting in the Ming Dynasty, and moved to Qing Dynasty. The group is divided into border counties, and melons (Di Plain) are all over five States, with the same root (Ding Plain), and home is home in the world. " (Huang Huoxing: "Long Couplet One Couplet" is taken from Hakka Culture ResearchNo. 1 issue)
In the unprecedented national migration in history, countless hardships have tempered the perseverance and fortitude of Hakka people. The flame of Central Plains civilization is lit everywhere in the drift from place to place; Burning in the misery of wandering. Perhaps it can be said that if there were no Hakkas leading the Central Plains civilization south to maintain and continue the ancient civilization, Chinese civilization might be interrupted or even destroyed. It can be seen that Hakka is the oldest carrier of Chinese civilization and the "living fossil" of the ancient Han nationality.
So, what is traditional culture? Traditional culture usually refers to the cultural elements that existed stably in the past, spread to this day and still play a role. Hakka has its own traditional culture, which is the inheritance and development of the Central Plains and Heluo culture. Its long history, historical migration and environmental conditions in remote mountainous areas make it a Hakka cultural tradition with its own characteristics. Therefore, Hakka culture is a subculture of Chinese culture, with national color and regional characteristics.
Heluo culture is the root of Chinese culture and Hakka culture. Heluo culture is the core and symbol of Chinese culture, which originated from the traditional culture of ancient Yellow River and Heluo area in China. Heluo culture is the most mature main vein of China's ancient cultural development, and the central axis, cradle and holy land of China's cultural development. Heluo culture has a long history and rich connotations. As early as the Paleolithic Age, human beings lived and engaged in production activities in Heluo area, and Heluo culture was born. In the Neolithic Age, Heluo culture developed greatly. Heluo took the lead in entering the civilized era in China and has long been the core of Chinese civilization. Chinese characters first appeared in Heluo area. China's four academic thoughts, Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism and rationalism, can be traced back to Heluo. China's four great inventions, papermaking and block printing, all originated in Luoyang. Zhang Heng made "armillary sphere" and "seismograph" in Luoyang. Ma Jun of the Three Kingdoms invented rollover in Luoyang. The landmark articles of the Han and Wei Dynasties, the literature of the Western Jin Dynasty, the poems and songs of the Tang Dynasty, the masterpieces of history and geography, and the famous painters and calligraphers all flourished in Luoyang. Luoyang is an ancient capital with a history of thousands of years. There are many people and treasures here. There are countless cultural relics on the ground and underground, and the cultural accumulation layer is rich, ranking first in the country.
The Ganjiang, Tingjiang and Meijiang river basins in the base camp area are the most important areas for the formation of Hakka culture. Hakka research experts summarize the formation and evolution of modern Hakka traditional culture as "Sanjiang culture" (namely Ganjiang culture, Tingjiang culture and Meijiang culture), which shows that the formation of Hakka traditional culture is closely related to the natural and social conditions in the base camp area.
"Sanjiang culture" and its representative figures. 1. Ganjiang culture: It is mainly the culture of the Song Dynasty, with the cultural characteristics of Hakka settlements in southern Jiangxi, and the representatives are Hakka Ouyang Xiu and Wang Anshi. Secondly, Tingjiang culture: With the Hakka people moving south to Tingzhou Prefecture in Fujian, after the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Tingjiang cultural characteristics represented by Shixiong Li and Liu Fang were formed. Third, Meijiang culture: In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, a large number of Hakkas moved south to Jiaying House, forming one of the Hakka base camps in eastern Guangdong and becoming the hometown of culture, which gave birth to Meijiang culture. Its representatives are Huang Zunxian and Qiu.
Hakka traditional culture has a long history, just like a towering tree in Aoba Shigeru. Her tall and straight posture is bathed in the warm sunshine in the south; Her developed roots are deeply rooted in the ancient soil layers of the Central Plains and Heluo. This is a towering tree standing on the sacred land of the East! This is a towering tree that reflects the five continents and four seas!
Hakka culture full of "local complex"
"Local Complex" is one of the characteristics of China traditional culture, and it is also a prominent feature of Hakka traditional culture.
China has been a typical agricultural society since ancient times. In an agricultural society, people have lived on the same land for generations. People born and raised in Sri Lanka have infinite attachment to their homeland. Many Hakkas have left their native land for decades. Although their childhood life was so poor, they missed their homeland so sweetly. Local complex, injecting China traditional culture; Infiltrate Hakka culture.
Migrating, leaving my hometown, crossing mountains and mountains, crossing the ocean, I never forget my hometown land and relatives. Hakkas are forced to move again and again. How can people who are forced to leave their hometown and lose their hometown know more about the loveliness of their hometown? How can we not cherish the local friendship more?
Folk traditional culture and art reflecting local customs. In Hakka traditional culture, nothing can better reflect the local feelings than Hakka folk songs. As the saying goes, "Hakka folk songs are particularly famous" and "Hakka folk songs are released (place names are harmonious)" comes from the mouth. "This kind of folk songs with strong local flavor makes people homesick and is unique among China folk songs. Hakka folk songs are a wonderful flower in the garden of Chinese folk literature and oriental poetry. Hakka folk songs are the treasures of Hakka folk literature. It comes directly from the people and expresses the production and life, joys and sorrows of Hakkas, with deep feelings, simplicity and beauty, and is deeply loved by the people. For thousands of years, Hakka folk songs have been widely and persistently circulated in Hakka inhabited areas, with their charm and eternal youth, showing strong artistic vitality. Besides Hakka folk songs, there are local operas such as Cantonese Opera, Tea Picking Opera, Hua Chaoxi, Puppet Opera and Mountain Opera. These local operas, except Han operas, are all sung in Hakka dialect, and their tunes have strong local characteristics. In Hakka traditional culture, folk proverbs are the most popular, easy to understand and have a strong Hakka flavor. Especially those proverbs that are homesick are memorable. For example, "Life is long and you are not afraid of your hometown", "It's hard to go out at home for thousands of days", "Trees attract wind and leaves return to the roots", "You won't welcome guests at home, but you will know your host when you go out" and "As long as you are kind, eating sweet potato soup is sweet" ... Folk sculptures, paintings, folk handicrafts and local snacks are full of strong local friendship.
Hakka dialect! Whether you migrate from the Central Plains to the wild land in the southeast or from your native land to the thorny land in a foreign country, you are always so high-spirited and persevering. The word "success" is written in my heart, but the word "failure" can't be found in my heart. Hakka, why on earth are you as strong as steel? This is because your heart is filled with a piece of black coal from the traditional culture deep in the Central Plains stratum-burning the soaring flame of humanistic ideals-illuminating the way forward for all Hakka children. The heat emitted by this soaring flame makes the land of China warm as spring, and makes the five continents warm as spring. Yes, Hakkas are messengers of spring. Wherever they go, they can open up a brand-new spring.
