Hakka taken a special ethnic group of Han nationality ,the academic circles have spreat out various researches to it at present .But mainly focused on the Hakka sources,the migratement,the dialect,the folk song,the room,the national character and so on ,fewly researched on their contemporary society's life .There are more than 5.6 million Hakkas in Guangxi province ,the academic circles were insufficient to its attention by far ,because of the history and the geographical position .So,through the investigation and research ,using menthods of documents,field investigation and comparison ,taken Hakkas festival diet in Da'an village Bobai as the example ,the paper discussed the feathure of Hakka festival diet custom in the modern society,the formation of the festival diet custom ,as well as the development tendency of the multual integration under the modern cultures ,even provided an advantageous supplement for further studies .Hakka festival diet in Bobai is the typical Hakka diet ,mainly presented three characteristics : Firstly ,taken the reunion and jubilation as the central festival diet ,just as the Spring Festival and the Midautumn Festival ,Hakkas participated in and manufacted a colorful festival diet ,the reunion and jubilation cultures infiltrated in every postion of Hakkas'life .At the same time ,accumulated by the cultural pattern ,which manifested the diet cultural prychology that Hakkas hoped to reunite ;Secondly ,taken the sacrificial offering and souvenir as the central festival diet ,just as the Qingming Festival,"On 14th July"festival,the Dragon Boat Festival and the Double ninth Festival ,the diet characteristic lay in all kinds of sacricial offering ,Hakkas using the different rank god food to the their ancestors ,which manifested the diet behavior that Hakkas honored and cherished their ancetors ;Thirdly ,taken the farming as the central diet ,just as the Land Festival and the Winter Solstice Festival ,the main connotations of the festival diet were for the harvest of the grain and the safety between the person and the livestock ,which manifested the diet goal of the traditional farming view .On this paper ,through Hakka festival diet ,it had reflected the cultural adaptability of the Hakka festival diet under the modern cultural context .In a word ,the characteristics of the festival diet custom gave expression to Hakkas value ,reflected Hakka culture.However ,this kind of special diet isn't completed quickly ,is a long-term .In this process ,one side ,Hakkas had the diet cultural gene of the Yellow River area ,their diet thoughts and ideas of the ethnic group ,which seemed real in fact ;the other side , Hakkas absorded increasingly Baiyue diet that mainly in the branches of Zhuang Dong language ,especially Zhuang nationality's diet custom ,which are very important to Hakka festival diet custom's formation ;And on the base of the former two , Hakkas tried their best to creat a new diet ,using the unique natural environment in Bobai ,thus they had an unique Bobai Hakka festival diet custom .The custom is a living culture ,the diet custom is also a developing process under the modern cultural background . Hakka traditional festival diet custom had their characteristic in the long-term .However ,the modern culture welled up into Hakkas'life just like the tide , Hakkas with opening disposition,being good at absorption and innovation ,in the foundation of absorbing modern culture ,had being approached to the modernization little by little ,then the traditional festival diet custom would have changed with the further understanding :the mutual integration between the clan groups and the ethnic groups ,caused a diet custom's continuity ,then Hakka festival diet with an more advantageous and native culture will appear in a greater scope ;the coordinate integration with the modern healthy conceptions ,rejected the bad diet custom ,a more healthy festival diet custom with Hakka feature will form ;the developing integration with the modern traveling resources ,made full use the tourism ,exploited the diet resoures that had Hakka cultural connotation deeply and the flavor distinctively ,then riched and prospered Hakka festival diet custom .In brief ,the paper ,through the discussion of Hakka festival diet in Bobai ,has revealed the real life of the modern on the festivals ,thus provided a typical case for the research of Hakka festival diet ,and even perspected the essence that the history and the space and time culture exchanged and integrated in the entire Hakka cultural development .
