This kind of behavior is people's conscious preferences, customs, customs, taboos, etc. It is popular among the people and is consciously inherited by the public. The Han culture has a long history, and its customs have a long history, spanning over 5,000 years.

Most of the traditional customs retained by the Hakkas were brought by immigrants from the Central Plains during the Tang and Song Dynasties. In the long-term historical development, the Hakkas have integrated and assimilated some indigenous ethnic minorities. At the same time, they have absorbed and integrated their customs into their own customs. In their interactions with other regions and other ethnic groups, they have also absorbed and integrated their customs. Good customs and beautiful customs, coupled with the large Hakka population and vast living area, have resulted in "different customs in ten miles and different customs in hundreds of miles". Therefore, Hakka customs are particularly colorful and all-encompassing in their inheritance and variation.
Hakka customs are cohesive. How did the Hakka, as a ethnic group of the Han people, come together? There are many reasons for this, but the cohesion of Hakka customs is undoubtedly an important reason. Although Hakka customs are colorful, ever-changing and obviously regional, the basic connotation of Hakka customs is consistent or identical. For example, we eat rice dumplings on the Dragon Boat Festival, moon cakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and glutinous rice balls on the Lantern Festival. No matter which province or region we are in, whether we are in mainland China, the Hakkas in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, or even overseas, in The descendants of the Hakka people who are surrounded by Western nations are all without exception.
[Edit this paragraph] Hakka customs - production customs
Hakka people who come to Liangjiang, after visiting relatives and friends on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year, will hold a grand family banquet. When the brothers who have been separated are reunited, the older family members with rich production experience will analyze and estimate based on the situation in the past year and the coming year, and make production arrangements for the year, while the younger family members will supplement the work. Then focus on plowing, harrowing, and planting corn. After completing these tasks, we ushered in the busy spring plowing. On the day of "February Stove" (the second day of the second lunar month), when the sky is white, people (mainly women) rush to carry candles, incense, meat dishes, and glutinous rice to worship the "Kitchen King" and pray to the gods for good weather in the coming year. Produce a bumper harvest. Afterwards, sugar cane was planted and rice seeds were sown. After the seedlings have grown evenly, seize the time to carry out spring plowing work. Since the work of spring plowing is heavy and intense, people mostly help each other complete the planting. Management work is everyone's business. When the crops are about to mature, the elders usually decide when to harvest them, and the children are not allowed to say much. During the summer harvest, all kinds of livestock and poultry have grown up, and fishing can also be done in the pond. The Hakka people happily put on the most sumptuous meal on the table, but they also have to "wash their eyes (eating)". After the Zhongyuan Dynasty, people were busy with autumn planting and harvesting. After that, they concentrated on selling part of the crops they planted, and the pigs, ducks, geese, and fish they raised were put on the market.
