Hakka is a branch of Han nationality,which is mainly distributed in western Fujian,southern Jiangxi and northeast Guangdong.As a later-comer,the hakka people not only inherited the ancient Han culture,but also assimilated and absorbed other native ethnic cultures,making the boundaries of the hakka ethnic group more obvious.Zijin county is located in the central and eastern part of guangdong province,with a population of 840,000.Hakka people account for 97.63%(2014 data).It is hard to imagine that there are huge differences among people in customs,dialects,diets and so on.This difference can be used "cultural diversity" to describe,its main performance for dialect is complex,the county is in hakka as communication tools,but as many as five tone,west chamber also include ancient bamboo words,the Yellow River,pond she dialect and southern min(guy),the villages and towns people have to use broken the national language(mandarin)to communicate;Customs are different,such as different time of ancestor worship,different objects of belief,different forms of festivals;There is a huge difference in diet,or love pepper,or taste light,or love to drink lei tea,or eat cold water cake,and so on and so on.The reasons for this situation are as follows:Zijin is a typical mountainous county,the territory of the mountains,ravines all over the special geographical structure,"eight mountains one water one field," said.Residents scattered in the valley,valley,traffic congestion,travel difficulties.But the mountainous area resources are deficient,the production structure is unitary,the economic condition is not good,the land is poor,the people are poor,the commercial trade is not developed,the population flow is few,the human relations are not many.And after the Ming and qing bandit in the county,township people since BaoJie village,the units formed around the village,the shan clan is tight defense system,autonomous system is closed,people in one by one each space unit in Chinese,day afterday,year after year to conduct business,had a clean,leisure life,turned a deaf ear to the outside world,the cultural communication difficulties.Before the hakka came,Zijin was a place where ethnic minorities lived together.The hakka who arrived late were not aware of the ethnic group and easily accepted their culture in the contact with the local indigenous groups.The custom of believing in ghosts can still be found in Zijin.The "sliding down" of funeral customs is related to the municipal feet of Yao and she,and the "secondary burial" is the vestige of Baiyue nationality."She" words of place names and the article(snake,Dongjiang water)along the renewal,and Yao,She of the intimate As a guest,hakka resources distribution and other aspects with indigenous competition,friction,and after the formation of national integration,the formation of a dominant ethnic group,but the original ethnic culture is tenacious ceaseless,the successor is now the dominant hakka.After the hakka settled in Zijin,Guangfu people and their culture followed each other up the Dongjiang river,making cantonese into hakka,and the discourse of some residents in ancient bamboo and Linjiang towns carried the tail of "vernacular phonology".Chaoshan culture followed the footsteps of others,especially the influence of Zijin on the modern peasant movement and the adjustment of administrative jurisdiction,from architectural style to school education.The west spread of the culture of southern Fujian brought the wind of fighting with each other and the belief of mazu to Zijin,which led to the dispute among the local people in modern times.Due to the dispersive inhabitation,the hakka people in Zijin could not resist the impact of the later culture while inheriting the customs of the original ethnic minorities.The hakka clan is established on the basis of different surnames,and it is further divided into different clans by ancestral origin,blood relationship,geographical distance and historical legacy,thus forming a multi-layer self-identity.The division and refinement of this clan organization made the branches and tenderloin of the originally numerous Zijin hakka clans more complex,the relationship between the same clan was loose,the internal contradictions were fierce,and the conflicts between different clans occurred from time to time.As a result,the hakka culture lost its foundation.Without the ability to resist foreign cultures,Zijin is widely influenced by the surrounding ethnic cultures.The long-term immersion of Guangfu culture and the subtle influence of Chaoshan culture have torn apart the hakka culture of Zijin and made it lack of individuality.On the other hand,due to the on-off,on-off and on-off establishment system and frequent changes in zoning,zijin is far away from the hakka cultural center,like an all-encompassing island.Theso-called pure ethnic group and all-inclusive culture are increasingly different from the hakka stronghold Meizhou.Through the analysis of the multiple causes of hakka culture in Zijin county,it can be seen that hakka is an ethnic group with strict boundaries and fuzzy boundaries,and at the same time,it is an inclusive ethnic group.This inclusiveness has enabled the integration of ethnic groups and the exchange of ethnic groups,despite the fact that integration and exchange have been achieved through arduous efforts after rejection and struggle.Different ethnic groups with different origins and cultural traditions came to live together in Zijin successively.In the process of communication and integration,they still kept the cultural characteristics of the original ethnic group,which seems a little inexplicable today,but it actually happened and continues.This is what Confucius said "harmony without difference".Hakka people are called hakka because they leave their origin and live in other countries.Into Zijin,migration flow,fixed contact between the hakka can not be guaranteed.However,as time goes by,the blood relationship gradually becomes estranged and the connection becomes more relaxed,and the unified and accepted culture never forms.In addition to the barrier of mountains,there are more than 200 surnames in the county,which are divided into different genealogy based on blood lines.The ethnic regulations formulated are actually cultural symbols with their own characteristics.It can be said that the dispersion of ethnic groups is the basic factor of Zijin’s multi-cultural development.The scattered farming culture and slow development of commerce and trade,the lack of leading role of the county government,make Zijin economic backwardness failed to get fundamental change.Although the development of Zijin county has been obvious since the reform and opening up,especially from the vertical comparison,but compared with the surrounding cities and counties,the gap is quite large.Multiculturalism is a complex that Zijin people,eager to change the status quo,have to grapple with as they ponder the weighty issue of how to become rich.In fact,cultural diversity is an objective existence and a product of the development of human history.Facts have proved that cultural simplification is only a development direction and cannot be realized in a quite long period of time.Face reality,how should do?Fei Xiaotong said very reasonable,that is,the United States of America,the United States and the United States,the world.
