Hakka culture is a unique aspect of Chinese heritage, primarily associated with the Hakka people, a subgroup of the Han Chinese. Originating from northern China, they migrated southward over centuries, bringing their distinct language, customs, and traditions. The Hakka are known for their strong sense of community and resilience, often living in fortified villages called tulou. Culinary traditions are a significant part of Hakka culture, featuring dishes that emphasize preserved ingredients and hearty flavors. Popular foods include Hakka stir-fried dishes and salt-baked chicken. The culture also values education and hard work, contributing to the Hakka's reputation for entrepreneurship and adaptability in various regions.
