The performance field of Hakka culture

The connotation of Hakka spirit is very rich, and its core lies in unity and forge ahead. This is very prominent and concrete in the history of Hakka immigration and Hakka culture.

First of all, the spirit of self-unity of Hakka ancestors formed a strong centripetal force. It is this centripetal force that enabled them to bring the splendid civilization of the Central Plains to the south during the long migration process without being assimilated by the indigenous people in the migration areas. The typical Hakka buildings in Gannan, Jiangxi and Meizhou, Guangdong, such as the multi-storey Longwu, Yongding Tulou and Changting Jiutang Eighteen Wells, are not only "a wonderful work in the history of world architecture", but also a symbol of Hakka unity and forge ahead. In some large earth buildings in Yongding, there are stone pillars, stone drums, carved beams and painted buildings; There are patios, gardens, rockeries, bonsai and fish ponds, which are beautiful. There is even an earthen building attached to a small school, with a building name and carved columns, such as "Zhencheng Building" and "Zhengang Building, Lide Shuren", which teaches people to abide by the law, pay attention to honesty and strive for progress. These cultural imprints all shine with the spiritual light of the Central Plains civilization, which respects literature and martial arts, and studies family heirlooms.

Secondly, this spirit of unity and forge ahead is also manifested in the absorption and assimilation of foreign cultures. The migration of Hakka ancestors to the south is a long-term struggle between the Han nationality in the Central Plains and the indigenous people who moved in, and finally formed a community. Today's Hakkas have never relied solely on the reproduction of the Han nationality who moved into the Central Plains, but have developed and grown up through the integration with local ethnic groups, and some other ethnic groups have moved into Hakka homes and been assimilated into Hakkas. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, with Hakkas as the main body, put forward that "harmony is precious and everyone enjoys peace" and "there are many people in the world, and all are brothers; The slogan "Many women in the world are sisters" shows the simple democratic thought that Hakkas should respect each other, live in harmony and treat the aborigines equally. In Hakka areas, people's religious beliefs are also very tolerant and friendly, and Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and Christianity can live together in a temple like a family. Even Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, enemies, can share a shrine to accept people's sacrifices. Mazu was originally the patron saint of people sailing along the coast, and Hakka invited her to Shanxiang as the patron saint of Shanxiang. Hakka culture inherits and develops the essence of China culture. Long-term migration has developed an eclectic and non-conservative folk custom, which has given Hakkas strong cohesion and vitality. Before Hakka ancestors entered Gannan, most of the aborigines here lived in houses in Ganlan (overhead buildings). Tuweizi was built in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, when bandits were everywhere along the Jiangxi-Guangdong border and the society was in turmoil. In order to effectively save their lives and accumulated property, the Hakka family spared no expense to manage and build it. Its structural form consists of 65438+ in Meizhou 2 District (Meijiang District, Meixian District, xingning city, Wuhua County, Fengshun County, dapu county County, Pingyuan County and Jiaoling County). This indestructible huge building has turrets at the four corners, which are connected and echoed, and the firepower is like a net; Fire attack, surrounding multiple fire water injection ports; In order to prevent siege, there are many granaries in the enclosure ... If we subdivide the shell, we can also see two basic modes: solid hollow type and solid type. The main building in the enclosure adopts "hall style", but the horizontal houses on both sides are raised to form a fully enclosed square enclosure plane, such as Kansai New Enclosure, with an area of 10000 square meters and three internal rooms (one main room and two auxiliary rooms). Hollow, such as Yi Yan round house in Yangcun, covering an area of 2,500 square meters. There is no main building in the paddock, only houses are built around the paddock, and there is a big peace in the middle except the well.

Today, Gannan is one of the main settlements of Hakkas, with more than 7 million Hakkas living there. When the distant years have passed, this enclosed house soaked with Hakka blood and tears has become a typical Hakka home structure in the eyes of the world and a symbol of Hakka emotional world. It embodies the whole spiritual feelings of Hakkas, embraces the vicissitudes of the years experienced by Hakkas, retains people's hearts, and constitutes the call of Hakkas to wander abroad. Hakka people have great ideas about funeral customs, even too much red tape. Hakka people have a strong sense of ancestor worship and attach great importance to the pursuit of the future. "General funeral etiquette can be divided into three parts, namely, before burial, during burial, after burial, or three stages.

Generally, there will be a second burial!

During the second burial, the body should be taken out, cleaned and sacrificed. Hakka ancestors came from the Central Plains, so their marriage customs were deeply influenced by ancient customs. Hakkas are the same, and men and women must be married by matchmaking, so as not to laugh at the country.

Hakka people are married in accordance with the ancient six rites. The so-called six gifts are: farewell, setting a date, giving a bride price, offering a dowry, seeing the bride off, visiting the church, eating noodles and bowls of chicken. Most Hakkas live in mountainous areas, and their economy is mainly agriculture. The main agricultural product is rice. Paddy fields in Hakka areas use streams near mountains and rivers near rivers. A waterwheel is used to irrigate fields. Farmhouse manure, using compost or furnace ash as manure seeds, and adding lime to fertilize the field.

When the rice is ripe, no employees are hired when harvesting; As for the women nearby, they will take their sickles to the fields to help cut rice. This is called "helper". When their families harvest rice, the women who get help will help others. It fully embodies the fine tradition of Hakka people's unity, mutual assistance and equal treatment. Hakka costumes are simple and practical, spacious and simple. Generally like to wear plain colors, especially blue, black and white. The apron worn by rural women to cover their stomachs can actually cover their chests. The hem is wide to both sides, and the upper end is embroidered with flowers, plus "neck chain", "waist chain", "tooth tag" and "bracelet". Girls wear braids and young women wear buns. Workers often wear short shirts, commonly known as jackets, to make up for it. Most men who read books have changed their suits and pants.

In terms of shoes and socks, more cloth shoes are made by housewives. Hakka customs generally include national traditional festivals, local sacrifices and rituals.

If there is no writing on the wall within three days, the marriage is settled (if the eight characters don't match, the man will return the Geng Tie to the woman's house).

Fill the red list: also known as "opening a red wedding post", or talking about bride price.

When the bride arrives at the man's house, she will wait at the gate or the house next door if she hasn't arrived at the prescribed time. The introductions are usually at 7: 00 or 8: 00 in the morning, and some even have to wait until noon. When entering, the bride will kick open the door of the sedan chair, and the man's bridesmaid will lead the bride out of the sedan chair and then "cross the fire" at the gate. Before entering the gate, the bride will cross the fire with fir branches.

Visiting the bride: After the bride enters the hall with the sound of drums, she begins to visit the bride. There are incense tables in the hall, with parents and elders in the east, consorts in the west, relatives in the north and younger generations in the south. Before meeting the bride, the husband will hang red on the groom and cover him with a five-foot red cloth. I read aloud: "I have five feet of red in my hand, and I only beat the groom, so that the groom can have a son and his son can be the champion." When visiting the church, the groom stands on the left and the bride stands on the right. Li Sheng said: One worships heaven and earth, the other worships ancestors, the third worships Gaotang, and the four couples respect each other as guests. Hold a banquet at noon, eat a wedding banquet, invite guests with firecrackers, once every half hour, and let the banquet ring three times when you start sitting.

When the column is on the beam, it should be decorated with lanterns and pasted with red couplets.

Then burn the title deed written by the fortune teller and inform the gods and ancestors that there is a master here. Wait until the ancestors of God eat, burn paper money and set off firecrackers. The head of the latter family carries a charcoal stove, and each family member carries new kitchen utensils and other small objects (a few families bring hens and a nest of chickens, indicating a prosperous population), and every place in the new house has to pass by. The next morning, the daughter-in-law of the same family came early to help "make tea" (food for local Hakkas to receive guests), make glutinous rice balls, receive relatives and friends who came to congratulate, and prepare a banquet at noon to entertain relatives and friends.

Worship nine customs:

Hakka nine is homophonic with nine nine, so Hakka people regard nine nine as an auspicious symbol and have the custom of worshipping nine nine.

When Hakkas build new houses, they usually choose dates related to the ninth festival, such as the ninth and eighteenth day of the first lunar month. The number of floors and rooms in the completed building is also a multiple of 9, which means that we can live together for a long time. Nine is especially important in the wedding ceremony of Hakkas. When men and women meet and exchange invitations, they usually choose dates related to Nine. The mantissa of the engagement fee should be nine, such as 1999 yuan, and the wedding team should fill in nine people. All gifts should be nine parties for good luck. For Hakkas' birthdays, they have to make 865,438+0 or 360 birthday pins, and all the dishes they use are three, six and nine cuts, such as three fresh soup, stewed dog meat (nine dogs), leek tofu, Chongyang (99) birthday cake and so on.

Because nine and leeks are homophonic, children should eat leeks when they drop out of school. Hakka folk songs also use nine leeks, such as: swallows carrying mud across Jiujiang, sisters sending lang abroad, and nine kinds of leeks in September. These two people have a long friendship. Hakkas attach importance to Nine, which is also reflected in the fact that they regard the ninth day of the first month as an auspicious day. After the Spring Festival, people who go out to work or do business will not leave home until the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, expecting good luck and prosperity in the new year. Proverbs are a kind of idioms that are easy to understand. Almost all of them are one or two short sentences in form, which generally express a complete meaning.

Hakka proverbs are spiritual wealth summarized and created by Hakkas in their long-term working life. Their language is vivid, rich in content, meaningful and intriguing.

Hakka proverbs can be roughly divided into the following three categories:

(1) Production proverbs. Summarize production experience, including meteorology, seasons, farming techniques, livestock raising, handicrafts and so on.

Such as "getting up early and raining late, getting up late and drying fish with Xia Hong", "awn seeds burn the sky, and it rains on the summer solstice", "hoeing mud in spring and peeling skin in summer; Dry hoe is shallow, wet hoe is deep ","pigs should be fed well, cows should be fed night grass "and so on.

③ Life motto. Summarize the experience in all aspects of daily life and reflect people's world outlook, attitude towards life and moral concepts.

For example, "standing firm is not afraid of strong winds", "good years are bad years, and you will not starve to death in bad years" and "you will be tired every day if you have the opportunity; If you want the essence, you must first listen to others say, "Take a hundred steps after dinner, and don't go to the drugstore".

Hakka nursery rhymes are indefinite in length, short in sentence structure, changeable in rhyme and clear and brisk in rhythm. These nursery rhymes are as popular as Hakka folk songs, and every sentence ends with the same rhyme, so they are catchy and unforgettable when I was a child.
