Luchuan Hakkas diet culture reflects the idea of the positive adaptation to the ecological environment,for example,the selection of raw materials, the use of cooking, the arrangements for the special meal and eating habits. Meanwhile, it is experiencing the impact because of the global mobile population and culture, in the face of the impact of external industrialized civilization, Hakkas who is known for tolerance, wisdom and compatibility is no longer passively used to be, they try to give those industrialized food which have beautiful and decent packaging the emotional value, make it be included in the gifts network of Hakkas community. Meanwhile they take an active attitude to invent and creat the traditions, now produce a series of dishes which are considered to be Hakkas cultural symbols, such as Baiqie pig, pig burning ,Kourou juan, and strive to increase the space for ethnic group'survival and development.At present, the Hakkas'diet custom which is considered to the value and significant culture obtain the approval of the majority, but its latent difficult condition of cultural inheritance makes us feel anxious to its prospect.
