Abstract/Summary:
Culture, integrated with economy and politics reciprocally, has become more and moreimportant in its role and effect in enhancing comprehensive national strength at presettimes.In China, the cultural development strategy on national level is to build harmoniousnational culture, with the major goals of constructing the system of socialistic core values,building up common spirits for our nation, and exporting Chinese culture to the world, etc.The inheritance of traditional culture is the essential part of constructing harmonious nationalculture.In this sense, it is crucial and necessary for us to study the topic----CulturalDevelopment of Hakka People in Scientific Development for the purpose of continuallypromoting the Sinicism of Marxism.China is a country with various ethnic groups. Due to the differences of traditions,languages, and economic and social life within each group,sub-ethnic groups have beenformed.Thesesub-ethnic groups are the unique parts that form pluralistic integration of ournation.Hakka People,with a unique history of migration and a pride in inheriting Chinesetraditional culture, is the sub-ethnic group in the Han nationality. Ithas a population of over100million mainly living in South China region, Taiwan and Hong Kong, with about20million living overseas.Hakka culture is an important part of Chinese traditional culture, andits significance, uniqueness and charisma have drawn a wide range of attention fromresearchers of human studies domestically and internationally.The research on Hakka cultural development in the view of scientific development is aprocess based on the respect for cultural traditions, and a process based on present situationand faced for the future. It is also a process to discover, integrate, participate, practice,improve, andinnovate Hakka culture per se. In addition, it is a process to refresh our mind,beyond the empirical level of experience and the meaning of research. All these are of greatsignificance.The aim of this research is to pave a road to respect our traditions and activate the culturein the complex cultural background with a purpose of inheriting the culture of Hakka Peoplecreatively, based on people-oriented perspectives and the spirits of learning widely fromothers, against the backdrop of culture blending of the East and the West.Based on the viewpoints and methods of scientific development, the latest result of theSinicism of Marxism in China, we resort to different analysis and research methods of variousdisciplines, including sociology, anthropology, history, psychology, to sort out historicalmaterials, define relevant concepts of the Hakka culture and inquire into the formation process and cultural characteristics of the sub-ethnic group. In this way, we havesystematically drawn up a picture for cultural development of the group. We use the methodof observation to analyze the targets, compare the targets with others, and construct amultidisciplinary research system for in-depth discovery. As a result, we found that the HakkaPeople had a motivation of self-exploration, self-understanding and self-realization. Bystudying the current situation of the Hakka People under the influence of globalization andmodernization, and searching for a balance of cultural protection and development of theethnic group, we put forward an idea of constructing a cultural-orientated development circleto impart and inheritthe Hakka culture.
