Features: The book "Bozai Hakka" elucidates a fresh perspective to the world, drawing upon the profound and distinctive cultural heritage of the Bozhou, Luchuan, Pubei, Hepu, Qinzhou regions, as well as the entire Guangxi and China. It argues that the Hakka people are a special group of Han migrants from Central China who moved southward. The essence of the Hakka identity lies in their Central Chinese connection, manifested in carrying forward the clan names and surnames of their ancestral homes in Central China, never forgetting the Hakka vernacular that aligns with the written language of the Tang and Song dynasties and gradually converges toward the modern Mandarin. They strive to uphold the legacy of "" (grand halls and courtyards) as successors to the Han and Tang dynasties, preserving the traditions of farming, reading, diligence, frugality, and valuing both culture and martial prowess to achieve prosperity.
