Hakka’s Custom (Zhuzhou)

DATE:09-06-2011

Hakka dialect in Yanling area has been blended with the local dialects for hundreds of years, so its vocabulary and syntax have been nearly the same with the local dialects, but its phonetic system still maintains its independent system. During the process of “doing in Rome as Rome does” for survival and existence, the Yanling Hakka people adapted themselves to local customs in some aspects, but they still remain some of their own customs. For example, women do not bind feet, they pay attention to education, they defy brute force, and they are affectionate and revere forefathers.
