客家
客家 (Hakka) refers to a Han Chinese ethnic group known for their unique language, culture, and traditions. Originating from northern China, they migrated to various regions, including southern China and beyond, due to historical conflicts and economic opportunities. The Hakka people are recognized for their distinct dialect, which is part of the Chinese language family, and their traditional customs, such as the famous 客家围屋 (Hakka tulou), which are fortified communal living structures.
The Hakka culture is rich in culinary traditions, with dishes like 客家小炒 (Hakka stir-fry) and 客家酿豆腐 (stuffed tofu) being popular. They are also known for their strong emphasis on education and community values. Today, Hakka communities can be found in countries like Taiwan, Malaysia, and Singapore, where they continue to preserve their heritage while integrating into local societies.
