Hakka Folk Culture

Hakka immigration has begun since the late Song Dynasty, from the mountainous regions such as Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi to Shenzhen and Hong Kong, while large scale migration happened only after the abolition of the Edit of the Coastal Evacuation in the early Qing Dynasty. Because of the greograpic proximity to their original place, immigration scale and time etc., Hakka people in Shenzhen still keep many traditions of the original dwelling regions of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi especially those of Meizhou region in eastern Guangdong.
