Luo Xianglin, Yuanyi, Yitang, Guangdong Xingning Shuilou Village, Ningxin Town. famous historian A pioneer of Hakka research. Early graduated from History Department of Tsinghua University , apprentice Liang Qichao Wang Guowei And other famous scholars. Successive posts Sun Yat-sen University University of Hong Kong Professor of Zhuhai Academy, awarded the honorary professor title of Hong Kong University. He is knowledgeable and rigorous in his studies. He has written 41 kinds of books and published nearly 300 academic papers. He pioneered genealogy Onychology Dunhuang Studies After Jiandu School, a new field of historical research was opened up; Its《 Introduction to Hakka Studies 》《 Hakka origin Texts, Collection of Hakka Historical Materials and other pioneering works laid the foundation for the study of Hakka. Counter-Japanese War During this period, Luo Xianglin Guangzhou Zhongshan Library The curator made great efforts to ship the rare books and important books to Shilong, Liuzhou, to avoid war. Luo Xianglin devoted his whole life to learning, devoted himself to education, and promoted Chinese culture. He is famous in Chinese and foreign literary and historical circles and one of the eight sages in Meizhou.
After graduating from Xingmin Middle School in the summer of 1924 (the 13th year of the Republic of China), he went to Shanghai Zhengzheng University to study. Two years later, he was admitted to the Department of History of Tsinghua University Wang Guowei Liang Qichao Zhu Xizu internationally known sinologist Gu Jiegang And Americans Han Tingdun Many famous scholars have followed the spirit and attitude of scholars all their lives and achieved remarkable results. During the semester, he was elected as the chief editor of Tsinghua Weekly.
In the summer of the 19th year of the Republic of China (1930), after graduating from Tsinghua University, he stayed in the Institute to deal with the history of the Tang Dynasty and the origin of Baiyue. In the spring of the next year, he also studied in Yanjing University Research Institute. Obtained harvard-yenching institute Scholarship, went to South China to investigate folk issues and Hakka origin, and got a lot of first-hand information. After returning to Beijing, I attended classes in Tsinghua University and Yanjing University. In the 21st year of the Republic of China (1932) Sun Yat sen University, Guangzhou Appointed as the secretary of the president's office and the editor of Guangdong General Annals Museum. In the next spring, he became an associate professor of Sun Yat sen University and editor of the Monthly Journal of the Institute of Literature and History. At the end of the year, he sorted out the Hakka historical materials he had collected over the years, wrote and published Introduction to Hakka Studies, which was later translated into Japanese by Japanese Yuan Gang and published. Later, he wrote a Textual Research on the Origin of Hakka, a Collection of Hakka Historical Materials, and a Map of Hakka Migration and Distribution to further explore the origin, migration, and specific distribution of Hakka. He is the first Chinese scholar who systematically studies Hakka issues and is praised as an expert on Hakka issues by the academic community.
In the autumn of the 23rd year of the Republic of China (1934), he resigned from Sun Yat sen University and taught at Nanjing National Central University Central Antiquities Preservation Committee Audit matters. In March of the next year, he married Zhu Ru, the daughter of Zhu Xizu, in Nanjing. Served concurrently in September Shanghai Jinan University Professor.
Two years later, he returned to Guangdong, served as the curator of Guangzhou Zhongshan Library, and founded the quarterly Journal of Guangzhou and the semimonthly Book Forest with colleagues in the library. When Luo Xianglin was sorting out the books in the library, he found that Lin Fengchao had written "The History of Paradise" and "The Annals of Lanfang Company". After reading carefully, he knew that Luo Fangbo had established a grand general system in West Borneo, which was actually a republican regime, while Luo Fangbo was actually a member of the Shishan people in Mei County.
Luo Xianglin believed that such a Hakka person with pioneering spirit and advanced ideas should actually write a special book, which is the book "Research on the Republic Built by Luo Fangbo in West Borneo". This general system was known to the world as the republican regime. Shortly after the War of Resistance against Japan, the Japanese invaders landed in Daya Bay. Guangzhou was in an emergency. He chose rare books and precious maps from the library day and night and shipped them to Guangxi. As soon as we arrived at Cangwu, Guangzhou was conquered. The book was transported to Guiping for storage by a boat sailing upstream the Liujiang River. The precious books survived the war. At this time, the departments of Sun Yat sen University have also moved to the rear areas. Luo Xianglin stayed with Zhu Xizu, his father-in-law in Chongqing for a short time, and jointly proposed that the Kuomintang authorities set up a National History Museum and draw up regulations for the museum.
In the spring of the 29th year of the Republic of China (1940), Luo Xianglin went to Chongqing to serve as a special member of the Kuomintang Central Committee, planned academic conferences and carried out regular academic research, and completed the publication of Cultural History of the Tang Dynasty. At the end of the year, he returned to Ruyuan University of Arts College in northern Guangdong to give lectures. In May of the next year, I asked Sun Guixiang's family in Zhongba, Zijin County for an old banknote of the Sun's Genealogy. It was known that Sun Yat sen originally lived in Zijin (Hakka area), Guangdong Province, in order to fight against the failure of the Qing Dynasty, moved to Zengcheng, and then moved to Xiangshan, where he had never served in the Qing Dynasty, and encouraged himself by farming. On this basis, Luo Xianglin wrote a Textual Research on the Origin of the Father's Family, which was affirmed by Mr. Sun Yat sen and Sun Ke, the former president of the Legislative Yuan of the National Government, and began to write a preface. In September, CUHK moved back from Yunnan to northern Guangdong.
Luo Xianglin once led some researchers of the Institute of Liberal Arts to Guilin to investigate cultural relics and historic sites, and found the Buddha statue and related stone carvings in the first year of Emperor Gaozong's Diaolu's reign (679) at Guanyinfeng, Xishan, Guilin. Later, he translated the relics of the previous generation seen in Guangxiao Temple in Guangzhou as classics, visiting eminent monks, iron towers and Buddha statues. As well as the Kohler tree which is still growing well and the Banyan tree, we have devoted ourselves to research. It was found that Buddhism, which was introduced into Guangdong and Guangdong from the sea, had a different system and unique status from those from the Western Regions, regardless of the sects and artistic development it performed, and from this we could see its relationship with the developed maritime transportation between China and India. He specially wrote his research results into a monograph "Guangxiao Temple of Tang Dynasty and Guilin Cliff Buddha Statue", which was highly valued by Buddhist circles and Japanese historians.
After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, the Guangdong Provincial Government was reorganized. Luo Xianglin became a member of the Guangdong Provincial Government and president of the Guangdong Provincial College of Arts and Sciences, and founded the quarterly Guangdong Construction Research. At the beginning of the next year, Guangdong Literature Museum was proposed to be established. In September, the Guangdong Literature Museum was established. As one of the nine members of the Council, he made remarkable achievements in maintaining and developing Guangzhou's literature industry.
Before long, he resigned from his post as a member of the Guangdong Provincial Government and a full-time professor of Sun Yat sen University. Later, he served as the chief editor of Sing Tao Daily and Literary and Historical Supplement in Hong Kong and the director of the History Department of the Institute of Guangzhou University of Culture. He resigned in June 1949 and moved to Hong Kong with his family. He has successively taught in the Hong Kong Academy of Culture, the Guangda Academy, the New Asia Academy, the official Chinese evening school and the University of Hong Kong.
From the autumn of 1956 to the end of 1963, he was invited to Europe, Japan, the Americas, Taiwan and other places to make academic speeches and surveys, which had a great impact on sinology and historical research.
In October 1965, he delivered a series of lecture materials of the Chinese Department of the University of Hong Kong. He delivered a speech entitled "Research on Chinese Genealogy" in English. This is his first research topic, which can be said to be another new discipline field after oracle bone science. In addition to the relevant monographs and papers on the data in the genealogy, he also expressed his own unique views on the historical significance of genealogy research, the origin and characteristics of Chinese genealogy, the spread and preservation of Chinese genealogy, and later supplemented and wrote the book "Research on Chinese Genealogy", which has since established the academic status of Chinese genealogy and become an important branch of history. This is one of the outstanding contributions of Luo Xianglin in academic research.
In 1967, he became the Vice Chairman of the Management Committee of the Hong Kong Center for Greater Asian Studies, making contributions to the promotion of Asian academic and cultural research. At that time, various research institutions and institutions of higher learning in Hong Kong employed him one after another. He only served as the dean of the College of Arts of Zhuhai Academy. The focus was to consider the doctoral program of the Institute and the school's publishing matters. In the spare time, he mostly participated in guest conferences, Chinese and foreign academic and cultural activities, and edited Xingning Family Literature.
At the end of 1968, when his term of office expired and he retired, the University of Hong Kong gave him the honorary title of professor for life. In the 10 years after retirement, he traveled to Taiwan and the United States, gave lectures, and worked hard for Xiangzi culture and Hakka literature. He died on April 29, 1978 at the age of 73, due to diabetes and liver cirrhosis in his later years, although the medical effect of various medical treatments was not good. [8] [12]

He has a high scientific attitude Academic value It is highly praised by the historians.
Luo Xianglin has two achievements in historiography:
1、 Pioneering Hakka Studies
In the 1930s, the Guangdong local history and geography textbooks and some newspapers and local chronicles compiled by Huang and other scholars insulted the Hakka, falsely claiming that the Hakka was "non Han", and adding the word "ke" to the word "dog", which triggered many debates about the Hakka nationality. Luo Xianglin actively participated in the debate, and based on his years of research on national history and Hakka culture, he wrote an Introduction to Hakka Studies, which scientifically proved that "Hakka is a branch of the Han people", effectively refuted the false accusation of Hakka as "language chirping is not very civilized", "barbaric tribes, degraded people", and defended Hakka people Social status.
In the early 1950s, Luo Xianglin launched another masterpiece of Hakka research《 Hakka origin Textual Research, starting from the composition and evolution of the Chinese nation, makes a detailed analysis and textual research on the origin and system of Hakka in the Chinese nation, the distribution and natural environment of Hakka, and the characteristics of Hakka language. It is a classic work in Hakka research and lays a solid foundation for Hakka research. Here are the records about pure guest counties and non pure guest counties in the Research on the Origin of Hakka:

2、 Has established the position of Chinese genealogy
In the 1960s, Luo Xianglin wrote a book called "Research on Chinese Genealogy", which revealed the writing object of Chinese genealogy, clarified the migration of Chinese nation, social evolution, the rise and fall of cultural relics, genetic eugenics, and its relationship with Chinese history, and the future development direction of Chinese genealogy Onychology Dunhuang Studies Bamboo slips After learning, another new discipline of historiography has become an important branch of Chinese historical science.
Appendix I:
Luo Xianglin's Hakka Ethnic system Formation of
What is "Hakka"? Chinese historians have always believed that the Han people who migrated south from the Central Plains were called Hakkas. As there was a "customer giving system" in the Tang and Song Dynasties, there was a "customer" status, compared with the local aborigines. According to the entry of "Hakka" in Cihai, "It is said that during the Yongjia period of the Western Jin Dynasty (early 4th century), a part of the Han people in the Yellow River basin migrated south to cross the river due to war, and by the end of the Tang Dynasty (late 9th century) and the Southern Song Dynasty (late 13th century), a large number of Han people also crossed the south of the Yangtze River to Jiangxi, Fujian and eastern Guangdong guangdong And other places, known as' Hakka ', were different from the original local residents, and later became the local Han people's self identification. " In recent years, many scholars have published many academic papers and have different views on the definition of "Hakka", including the following:
(1) The word "Hakka" as Ethnic system The connotation of the title "" is prescriptive, which is determined by its characteristics different from other ethnic groups, and is not a relative title to the indigenous people who originally lived there. If the term "Hakka" can be established as a relative term to the original local aborigines, then the refugees in other places in history can be called "Hakka" after settling down, but this is not the case.
(2) The so-called customer of the "customer giving system" in history is actually the cruel feudal exploitation and Land annexation The peasants displaced by war and oppression are called "refugees" or "displaced persons"“ peasant ”In the Tang Dynasty, there were more names of "main account" and "customer" on the household register. "Customer" actually refers to tenants tenant The difference between the main household and the customer is based on whether they occupy land. If the main household loses land, it is a "customer". If the customer can have land, it is also a "main household". It can be seen that the title of "Hakka" cannot be the word "customer" from the "customer giving system".
(3) If the "customer" of the "customer giving system" refers to the ethnic groups from the Central Plains, then the Han people from the Central Plains who settled in the Zhangquan area in southern Fujian are called“ Heluo people ”Its dialect is "Heluo dialect"; The people who settled in eastern Fujian are generally called "Fulao people", and their dialect is "Fulao dialect"; Settle in Guangzhou area (including most of Zhujiang delta )Of is called“ Guangfu people ”Its dialect is "Cantonese". They are not called "Hakka people".
(4) It is believed that the Han people who cross the south are Compile household Qi Min It is the main household, and the aborigines are not editorial households, so they should be customers without paying tribute. Therefore, the customers of the "customer giving system" are not Han people who migrated from Zhinan.
(5) It is believed that the Han people who moved before the Tang and Song dynasties are the main households Time Shift It's the customer.
In short, there are different opinions. We believe that the definition of Hakka people should be based on scientific criteria, which can neither be determined completely from the origin nor be assumed or inferred by abandoning historical facts. Although the theory of origin and development can explain the historical fact that the ethnic groups in the Central Plains migrated southward to form Hakkas, it can not explain that there are many Han ethnic groups Ethnic system The historical fact that the complex evolution of the Han nationality into Hakka people does not explain the complex evolution of the Han nationality's multi-ethnic system, especially the evolution results after the southward migration. "... To define Hakka people, we should comprehensively and essentially Hakka people To make a scientific summary, we should make a scientific summary from the perspective of combining the common connotation of the national concept with the characteristics of the people, that is, the personality. In particular, we should make a scientific summary of the personality characteristics of the Hakka people and give an accurate definition... Then, what is called the Hakka people? I think it can be summarized as follows: the unique and stable Hakka people of the Han nationality formed due to historical reasons have common interests, unique and stable Hakka language, culture, folk customs and emotional mentality (i.e Hakka spirit )。 Those who meet the above stability criteria are called Hakka people, otherwise they cannot be called Hakka people. "
"Hakka Ethnic system As Han Dynasty National community In the process of its formation and development, an important ethnic group in China, in addition to the region, language, economic life and psychological quality of its own nation, it also has many characteristics of its own, so it has similarities and differences, similarities and differences with the various historical and cultural characteristics of its own nation, showing the relationship between the unity of generality and individuality, and the coexistence of generality and particularity. " "The Han people in the Central Plains, the Hakka ancestors and their descendants who migrated south encountered various challenges in the process of migration and the formation and development of their own ethnic system, which is naturally different from the Central Plains. On the one hand, the objective living environment forced them to make some adjustments to their original psychological quality; On the other hand, the mutual influence, integration and even struggle with the natives and other ethnic groups in the guest place that occurred naturally in the migration process will also change their original psychological factors in one way or another. In this way, the geographical environment, historical traditions Ethnic integration As well as the interaction of many functions such as the economic life in the relocation area, the Han nationality in the Central Plains who migrated south will naturally have one or another adjustment, change and re integration in terms of psychological quality. Once such adjustment, change and re integration are completed, Hakka Ethnic system And finally formed. "
It is particularly important to point out that Hakka language is still used in ancient Chinese“ living fossil ”It is popular in Hakka areas such as eastern Guangdong, western Fujian and southern Jiangxi, and has become Modern Chinese An independent dialect system in Chinese. The final formation of this unique dialect system is also an important symbol of the formation of the Hakka people. Therefore, the formation of the Hakka people should also be marked by the four elements of common region, common language, common economic life and common psychological quality. "Of course, the first element to form a people's lineage is people. Only when there is an advantageous crowd force can we form a self advantageous environment and develop a personality that is based on our own ancestors and integrates with the new environment, and continue to maintain and develop." Hakka Ethnic system The formation period of Zhao Song It has a history of nearly a thousand years.
In general:
1. Hakka people are one of the unique and stable ethnic groups of the Han nationality (the Central Plains nationality). In ancient history, the ethnic groups in the Central Plains moved south and Baiyue nationality Or other ethnic minorities, after thousands of years of integration, but its shape and spirit are still the Central Plains ethnic groups without variation, with unique stability.
2、 hakka dialect yes Hakka people The unique language of. The Hakka people in Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces are basically the same or similar in language (except that the languages of some counties are influenced by other language families, but they also retain the basis of Hakka, but differ in tone). as Changting City The language is exactly the same as that of Zhiping people in Ninghua; The Hakka dialect of Changting City is completely connected with the Hakka dialect of Meizhou in Guangdong Province and Gannan in Jiangxi Province. The overseas Chinese who have returned after 50 or 60 years of leaving their hometown will never forget and can naturally speak Hakka fluently. Hakka and Cantonese (Cantonese) Hokkien (East Fujian) and Heluo dialect (Zhangquan) dialects have nothing to do with Henan Zhongzhou (Zhengzhou area) There are many similarities in phonology. Yale University Han Tingdun The professor said: "Hakka dialect originates from the north, and their dialect... is like the dialect of Henan in Zhongzhou." Zhongzhou dialect is the local dialect of Zhengzhou in Henan, and hakka dialect Very similar.
3. Hakka people have special Hakka culture And customs. The Yongding round and square earth buildings left over from the Ming and Qing dynasties are thick, tall and magnificent. Ninghua Anle Anyuan Changting Tufang, Xuancheng, Guangdong Xingning Multi storey building in Meixian District, Meizhou City Dragon enclosure house , Changting Jiuting 18th Well , which symbolizes the architectural art of Hakka. Its unique structure is Hakka people live in a strange land Live together , witness to the group style "Hakka House". especially Yongding Earth Building The unique architecture has attracted the attention and appreciation of the world's architectural circles. "Yongding Tulou is the cultural wealth of the Yongding people, the cultural wealth of the Chinese people, and the cultural wealth of the people of the world." Wuping Zhongshan's "Hundred Family Name Settlements" and "Military Family" Dialect island ”It is a cultural phenomenon worthy of attention in Hakka studies.
The Book of Jin · Biography of Wang Daozhuan says: " Luojing Overturning, Zhongzhou Gentry and women avoid chaos Jiangzuo Sixteen and seventeen...... "As a result of southward migration Dongting Lake Poyang Lake Han people from three tribes of Taihu Lake Ethnic system The Poyang Lake tribe is the ancestor of the Hakka people. They were Han people who originally lived in Shanxi and Henan, fled to Anhui, Hubei, Jiangsu and Jiangxi, and then moved to southern Jiangxi and western Fujian along Poyang Lake.
According to the Records of Jiaying Prefecture, "today's aborigines are mostly from the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. People who have been interviewed with their ears and eyes are mostly from Tingzhou of Ninghua There were also people from Ganzhou. Their language and voice are all close to Tinggan... " The genealogy and genealogy of many clans of Jia now moved from the late Yuan Dynasty to the early Ming Dynasty, which is sufficient evidence.
Hakka is a branch of the Han nationality of the Chinese nation that migrated southward, namely, the Min, Yue and Gan families. Hakka people live in the area connected by the three provinces of western Fujian, eastern Guangdong and southern Jiangxi. There are 33 pure Hakka counties Hakka people A pioneering land with a history of thousands of years. Tingzhou Ninghua Shibi Village It was the transfer station for Hakka to move south before the Song and Yuan Dynasties; Meizhou City Xingning , Tai Po and other places are the transfer stations for Hakka people in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. To develop overseas South Fujian Is many. Shantou and Xiamen have been two famous overseas Chinese ports in China since the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Hong Kong, Shenzhen Nanyang Islands Preserved by Hong Kong residents and overseas Chinese (some of whom are Hakka people and their descendants) in various commercial ports Genealogy , and related overseas Hakka origin Their ancestors were Han people from the Central Plains who moved south to Fujian and stayed there Tingzhou Ninghua Shek Pik , after Changting Shanghang Yongding Going to sea in Shantou, Guangdong, or from western and southern Fujian via Xiamen, or migrating to Hong Kong, Shenzhen and other places in Nanyang via Guangzhou.
Several times in Hakka history Great Migration It has a long history in the south. Hakka children are distributed on five continents of the world, and their footprints enlighten the whole world. They drifted far away from home, lived in a foreign country, and the tradition of loving their country and hometown has been handed down from generation to generation. Hakka people are the most widely distributed and influential people in the contemporary world Ethnic system one of.
Appendix II:
Luo Xianglin's Migration of Hakka People
Hakka people are a systematic branch of the Han nationality. The Hakka ancestors moved from the Central Plains to the south gradually because they were invaded by Chinese frontier tribes. First Emperor of Qin After the destruction of the six countries and the unification of China, the Great Wall was built and heavily garrisoned to prevent the invasion of nomadic people in the border areas. Xuan Youpai Lieutenant Slaughter a fault Lead the large military region to garrison 500000 people in Lingnan to prevent Nanyue nationality The invasion of. Emperor Qin They also drove the exiled guests who had stayed in Henan, Anhui and Fujian to Xing'an, Guangxi, which was unpopular. They built flexible canals and canals, and drove the exiled guests who had stayed in Henan, Anhui and Fujian to Guangxi at Huazui Xing'an County Building Linqu canal Canal, Yu Huazui will Dinjan and Xiangjiang River and Lijiang River Drill through to transport the army and grain. Continue to Southern Xinjiang Use of troops. After the death of the Qin Dynasty, this huge army did not return to the north, and continued to stay there as a guest, which was the beginning of a large number of Han people moving south.
Hakka ancestors migrated from the Central Plains to the south, a total of 5 times. Other sporadic immigration or from various places Serving official Or those who have moved to the place due to business, they cannot know the plan. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Zhao Tuo Self-reliance Nanyue King During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, soldiers were sent south to pacify South Vietnam Then nine prefectures were set up on the basis of the three prefectures in southern Xinjiang in the Qin Dynasty, including Minzhong County In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Huangjin Uprising Separatist regime , frequent wars and flames of war. A large number of Han people living in the Yellow River basin have moved to the south, which is the so-called "all the heroes fight for the middle land, and Li Shu goes to the south". During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Wei adopted the policy of inviting border people to move in, which was extended to the Western Jin Dynasty. During the Jianwu period, Jin Yuan Emperor He led his subjects to the south, which is famous in history“ Yongjia Rebellion And travel to the south in clothes ". From the end of the Han Dynasty to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Han people in the Central Plains moved southward to the Yangtze River basin, which was the first great migration. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Yangtze River Basin was in flames of war, and the Han people continued to move southward. Professor Luo Xianglin《 Hakka origin According to the textual research, "Up to now, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty has unified China, and with the sole view of the origin of the Three Kingdoms separatism, he has eliminated the military power of prefectures and counties, leaving the border states empty. The Eight Kings of the Qing Dynasty have made trouble one after another, weakening the national strength, and the tribes migrating into the border areas have to take the opportunity to build their own Separatist regime The central government of the Jin Dynasty had to move to Jiankang In Nanjing today, people in the mainland who have the power or opportunity to move to the south are all willing to lead the southward migration, which was called "exile" at that time. " At that time, Fujian was located on the southeast coast, and the situation was relatively stable. Therefore, the people from the Central Plains who moved southward poured in one after another Wuyi Mount Going south or from Gannan Tingzhou Ninghua Of Shek Pik Zhai (current name Shibi Village )And then continue to move to various territories of Tingzhou County; Some people scattered from northern Jiangxi. The Central Plains People and the Local People Entering Tingting Minyue nationality the She ethnic group Gradually merged and became an early Hakka in Tingzhou. Former Xiamen University Sun Yat-sen University Professor Wei Yinglin once said: "The Hakka people in Tingzhou come from the combination of the clan in the Central Plains and the Minyue clan."《 Hakka origin The book pointed out: "These southbound people, politically, have supported the situation of the dynasties since the Eastern Jin Dynasty; economically, they have developed the industries in the south and improved the livelihood of the south; and ethnically, they have increased the number of inland people and southern tribes, such as Baiyue nationality (including Minyue nationality), part of Miao nationality (including She nationality)... "
according to Li Jifu According to the Records of Wuhe County, there were 29690 households with 100000 people entering Fujian in the past two years at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. A large number of immigrants entered Ting at this time. Due to the continuous inflow of Han people from the Central Plains and the increasing population, it was set up in the 24th year of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty Tingzhou Tingzhou is located in the west of Fujian, bordering on the east of Guangdong and the south of Jiangxi( Ninghua )、 Silla Yiyi has a vast area, nearly 400 kilometers in length and breadth. According to《 A synopsis 》Before Tang Zhenyuan, there were 5330 households with a population of 16000. The statistics of household registration mainly show Han people.
In the second year of the General Manager of the Tang Dynasty, there were ethnic minorities between Fujian and Guangdong who were dissatisfied with the government's oppression and gathered people to resist. The Imperial Court orders General Zuo Lang Chen Zheng He was the administrative director of Lingnan and led the army to Fujian to guard. During the reign of Xiantong in the Tang Dynasty, the garrison rebelled for some reason, led by Chong Xun, and led the army to attack the Central Plains. The court spent considerable strength to pacify it. Soon, Unjust sentence people rebel leader union Pang Xun Remaining public start an uprising It marched from Henan and Shannan to Huainan, eastern Zhejiang, northern Jiangxi Central Jiangxi , North Fujian, Central Fujian, then turn back to Jiangxi, Hunan, and East Guangxi, go south to Guangzhou, go out to Hunan, Chu, and Anhui, cross the Huaihe River, capture Luoyang, and enter Chang'an More than a decade of turmoil has led to people from all over China moving separately. During the reign of Emperor Zhaozong, Wang Chao Wang Shenzhi Participate in Shouzhou Wang Xu During the uprising, more than 5000 people crossed the river south. Most of these people are from Henan Kwangju The area is called Zhongyuan Clan, and most of the people who enter Minting live here.
Huang Chao's subordinates Zhu Wen Surrender to the Tang Dynasty and be awarded Xuanwu governor of one or more provinces Position. God bless In the first year, Zhu Wen killed Tang Zhaozong , more than two years accept the abdicated throne from the previous ruler other than by inheritance As the emperor, he finally usurped the power of the Tang Dynasty, changed the name of the country to Liang, and started the separatist situation of the Five Dynasties. According to records: Rear sill In 897, Wang Shenzhi was appointed King of Min by Zhu Wen. Wang Shenzhi In order to respond to people in a timely manner, we did something beneficial to the people. He "broke ranks with the corporal, opened the door to start education, and took talent education as an urgent task. All the scholar bureaucrats in the late Tang Dynasty who fled from the south were generous and willing to accept, and built a 'Recruitment Institute' to house them." So the scholar bureaucrats in the Central Plains took their families with them, did not avoid hardships, climbed mountains and mountains, and divided their way into Fujian to serve the king. From Eastern Jin Dynasty to Five Dynasties The Han people moved southward from the Yangtze River basin for the second time Great migration At that time, thousands of people from the Central Plains Clan entered the Ting. So Tingcheng has White Horse Temple , offering sacrifices to Wang Shenzhi.
Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty went south, the Jin people went south, the Yuan people became the masters, and part of the Hakka people moved from Fujian and Jiangxi to eastern Guangdong guangdong This is the third great migration. During this period, the exiles of the Zhongyuan clan became more and more popular. allegedly Chen Dynasty a royal house Chen Yuanguang remote descendants Chen Shuming There were nine sons in total, and they became a huge family. They were told that every huge family lived separately, but they were scattered in Jiuzhou. "Nine sons are divided into nine states, and full sons are granted Tingzhou ”Of Chen Kui (In fact, he was the sixth son), with the name of Shenwan, he was appointed as a doctor by the imperial edict and moved to Tingzhou with 97 family members. He was the ancestor of the Chen surname in Tingzhou. The Chen family entered Ting in the Song Dynasty. At that time, Tingzhou had a large area and a large population of 100000. According to historical records, from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the end of the Song Dynasty, it was a period when people from the Central Plains poured into the border areas of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces in large numbers. Because western Fujian, eastern Guangdong and southern Jiangxi are connected by mountains and rivers, the land is fertile and lively, the climate is mild, and the river benefits, while the population is relatively scarce. The migrants from the Central Plains have farmland and a place to live, and the environment is relatively stable. Tingzhou Ninghua Shek Pik At that time, the village was an important channel for people from Jiangxi to Fujian and from north to south of Fujian. It became a transit station for people from the Central Plains to Fujian and a residence for many ancestors of Hakka. Huang Zunkai wrote a brief account of the facts of the first official history, saying that at this time, "Hakka people scattered in Tingzhou and Shaowu moved to Meizhou". The Thirty second Series of Conversations in the Records of Jiaying Prefecture also said that "most of the Guangdong people who are neighbors of Fujian migrate to Meishan with Ninghua..." Hakka people migrated from the Central Plains to southern China, and went to the sea to the Nanyang Islands and even all over the world Tingzhou Ninghua Shibi. From《 Hakka origin The research on the "genealogy" and the origin of Hakka surnames cited in the Textual Research, Research on the Origin of Hakka can roughly sort out the early Hakka surnames that once resided in the Shibi of Ninghua, Tingzhou. According to the "Dictionary of Hundred Surnames" and the "Genealogy" preliminary statistics:

In the Southern Song Dynasty, seven families moved in: Lu, Liao, Zheng, Hu, Jiang, Wu, and Lin.
founder of the Song dynasty Unifying China is over Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms The situation of great division. However, the Zhao Song Dynasty rarely had a few quiet days. More than 100 years later, Jin destroyed Liao and invaded Song again, broke Bianjing, captured Hui and Qin emperors, and the Northern Song Dynasty died. Song Gaozong moved his capital to Lin'an After the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, politics became corrupt day by day and the country became weak day by day. In 1234 AD, the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Jin Dynasty and annexed the Central Plains. Then the Yuan army went south and the Southern Song Dynasty died. Jingyan In the first month of the second year (1277), the Yuan army broke through Tingzhou known as a model of fidelity to the last Song sovereigns Zhang Shijie Chen Yizhong Lu Xiufu He tried to resist and save the Song Dynasty. The righteous people of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi rose up to resist the Yuan army one after another, so the border area between Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi became the battlefield of resistance against the Yuan Dynasty. After the failure of the people who have always lived here, a large number of them migrated to Dapu, eastern Guangdong Meixian County Xingning And the northern part of Guangdong; Some died in the war in Wangzhou or Cliff mountain Some of them live in the south of the Five Ridges.
During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of customers moved from Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Anhui to Ting. First, they avoided official duties, and second, they were new customers who promoted the army and settled in the fields. Tingzhou The population of Hakka people in the Ming Dynasty increased sharply after a generation of recuperation. By the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the surnames of those who moved south to Ting had exceeded 100.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, political corruption was also worth years of famine. The people had no means to live on the vast expanse of land. Jiajin's civil officials were greedy, and military officers killed innocent people, which led to bureaucratic persecution of the people, peasant uprisings, and local uprisings. The Qing army entered the pass , approaching the capital, the throne has declined and can not be saved.

However, the Qingbing Company chased after them, Emperor Longwu Tingzhou In the event of suffering, they died in the country with their ministers, military officers and generals in Tingzhou and Ganzhou, as well as those who cut their own throat, hanged themselves, dived or set themselves on fire. A large number of people fled in panic and moved to central Guangdong and coastal areas, as well as Sichuan, Guangxi, Hunan and Taiwan, and a small number moved to the south of Guizhou and Xikang The understanding. This is the fourth time for Hakka people Great Migration Late Ming and Early Qing Zhang Xianzhong After the failure of the peasant uprising, Sichuan was hit by the war of the Manchu Dynasty.

Chen Yinque Guides Luo Xianglin's Hakka Studies
In 1926, Luo Xianglin was admitted to the Department of Economics of Tsinghua University. Due to different interests, he soon moved to the Department of History and was lucky to learn from a master of Chinese culture internationally known sinologist In the summer of 1930, Luo Xianglin wrote a graduation thesis entitled "The Origin of Hakka" and submitted it to his tutor Chen Yinque for review. Chen made a comment on the manuscript: "There are many materials in the genealogy, which need to be examined again." Later, Luo Xianglin wrote in his memoirs that the teacher advocated that "as long as there are historical materials that are valuable enough to help us figure out the problem, all materials can be used, and it is not necessary to use people to talk nonsense when quoting previous works." Chen also specifically told him about his family origin.
Chen Yinque's predecessor came from Tingzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province Shanghang County Move to Jiangxi Yining Prefecture (now Xiushui County), originally a Hakka. He said to Luo Xianglin: Most of the Hakka people who moved from Fujian and Guangdong to Yining are engaged in farming and reading. Because they study hard, when they are testing scholars, the local people are often divided by the Hakka people in terms of their academic quotas, and then there are disputes. Later, the feudal officials invited the imperial court to set up additional "Huaiyuan" places for Hakka people, which had nothing to do with the original places, so the dispute was settled. The Chen Yinque family, from his great grandfather Sheng Yuangong to his father Boyan (Sanli), were enrolled by "Huaiyuan nationality" and then passed the college entrance examination level by level. His grandfather, Chen Baozhen, was appointed in 1895 in the first year of Xianfeng Hunan Governor He was a famous reformist in the late Qing Dynasty. His father, Chen Sanli, was a scholar in the 15th year of Guangxu, the head of the official department, and the leader of the "Tongguang Style" poetry school. Four members of a three generation family entered the entry of Cihai, winning glory for Hakka people.
Under the guidance of Chen Yinque, Luo Xianglin expanded the collection of historical data such as genealogy. From the winter of 1930, he published the Notice of Collecting Hakka Historical Materials in major newspapers in Guangdong. After a year of collection, he went to Guangdong to investigate in person and collected many genealogies. He compiled these materials into a volume, attached with an outline, and asked his tutor for advice. In 1933, Luo Xianglin published the book Introduction to Hakka Studies. The book has a total of 250000 words. Using a large number of genealogies, history books and other materials, it discusses in detail Hakka's views of "being an old family in the Central Plains", "moving to the south to avoid war", and "going through five major migrations". Later, he wrote the Textual Research on the Origin of Hakka and the Map of Hakka Migration and Distribution, which entered the door of Hakka research. In a series of Hakka works, he pioneered the "theory of ethnic groups", which listed Hakka as one of the seven ethnic groups of the Han nationality. In 1931, Luo Xianglin's father died. When Luo Xianglin returned home to administer the funeral, his mentor Chen Yinque sent an elegiac couplet in his own handwriting:
Xigong cherishes the talents of the world but fails to use them. He has the ability to learn and live up to his expectations
The elegiac couplet is not only a mourning for the seniors, but also a spur and encouragement for the students. Later, he wrote a letter to the publishing house, publicly praising Luo Xianglin: "Luo Jun has written a lot in the past ten years, which is impressive. He never used the old teacher to gossip, so as to hinder his independent and free will."
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Chen Yinque, who taught at Sun Yat sen University in Guangzhou, often received money and goods from Hong Kong, including non-staple food such as lard, which was very scarce in the mainland, but his signature was a strange name "Luohan". Only teachers knew that this was the painstaking effort of student Luo Xianglin! In order not to cause trouble to the teacher, Luo Xianglin used his pen name.
Zhu Xizu tried his best to help Luo Xianglin in his study and teaching
When Luo Xianglin's early works Introduction to Hakka Studies and The Wind of East Guangdong were published, Zhu Xizu The professors wrote a preface for him, which greatly improved the popularity of his works. His preface is not perfunctory. Some scholars believe that Zhu's preface is more rigorous than young Luo Xianglin's argumentation logic at that time in terms of academic theory on Hakka, playing a theoretical guidance and finishing touch effect. As for the Wind of East Guangdong, Zhu Xizu spoke highly of it: "I don't think Luo Jun's Wind of East Guangdong is the first one, but I hope it can be integrated! He takes this matter very seriously. He should follow the wind of the Fifteen Kingdoms. This insight is higher than others!" "From the early years of the Zhou Dynasty to the present, after three thousand years, this kind of work has been carried out from the north to the south. The merit of Luo Jun is more outstanding than the merit of collecting the Songs of Chu!"
Zhu Xizu, born in Haiyan County, Zhejiang Province in 1879, has been a professor of history at Peking University, Tsinghua University and Sun Yat sen University. He attached great importance to the collection and collation of local historical materials and ancient books, which had a great impact on Luo Xianglin's historical research. When he was the director of the Institute of Chinese Studies at Peking University, he took part in launching the "Ballad Research Association", publishing a "Ballad Weekly", collecting thousands of ballads from various provinces, several years earlier than Luo Xianglin collecting Hakka folk songs.
From 1932, Luo Xianglin went to Sun Yat sen University to teach. He worked with Zhu Xizu, who was then the head of the Department of History of CUHK, for two years. He was promoted by his mentor as an associate professor of the Department of History, and recommended him to be the editor and chief editor of the Institute of Literature and History. When Zhu Xizu was a teacher at the University, he and Luo Xianglin were co editors of the Guangdong General Annals Museum, discussing the style of the General Annals, and proposed to him that he should write the national strategy and overseas Chinese strategy. In 1934, Zhu Xizu went to Nanjing Central University as head of the Department of History, and strongly recommended Luo Xianglin to teach at the University. Later, Luo Jialun, the headmaster, had prejudice against Luo Xianglin, so he was not qualified as a professor. Luo Xianglin left the Central University in August 1936 and was employed as the curator of the Sun Yat sen Library in Guangzhou. At the beginning of Luo Xianglin's tenure, Zhu Xizu, who is already his father-in-law, communicated with him constantly, and guided him from the catalog of library collections to the types of books purchased. Luo Xianglin took the teacher's advice, bought a large number of valuable books and literatures, launched a donation to the society, took the lead in donating more than 100 books, organized the compilation of book catalogues, compiled professional historical materials, proofread rare books, and prepared to build a Guangdong literature showroom. At the same time, he founded the quarterly Journal of Guangzhou and the semi monthly Journal of Shulin, and organized experts and scholars to publish book reviews or treatises. It was during this period that he published articles such as The Family History of Hong Xiuquan in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
In July 1937, when the Anti Japanese War broke out, Zhu Xizu, a bookish man, traveled to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces to transfer a large number of books hidden in Nanjing. From July 9, 60 boxes of books were shipped, including a truck, from Nanjing to Huizhou, and from Huizhou to Tunxi Village, which lasted three months. In August, when Japanese planes bombed Guangzhou crazily, Luo Xianglin sent his pregnant wife Zhu Tan back to his hometown Xingning for refuge. He and his colleagues urgently selected more than 50000 precious books and evacuated them to the suburbs of Guangzhou. In October of the next year, the Japanese invaders landed in Daya Bay, and Luo Xianglin transferred the books to Guangxi safely. When the country was worried about the difficulties of his family, he devoted himself to his duties and saved a large number of valuable books for the country. Today, these surviving books are stored in South China Normal University In the library. The 250000 books saved by Zhu Xizu were donated to the country by his son, including the most precious Ming Dynasty and Song Dynasty editions of Shuijingzhu. It is worth mentioning that in the years of war, the two people always miss each other's safety and the transfer of books.
Luo Xianglin said of Zhu Xizu: "Mr. Zhu Xizu is the most important person in his lifelong history study. He knows right and wrong, and has no constant property outside his book collection. But his noble demeanor is incomparable." In July 1944, Mr. Zhu Xizu died in Chongqing at the age of 66. Later, Luo Xianglin collated and edited the manuscripts for him and published the Collected Works of Mr. Zhu Xizu, which was the best reward for his teacher. [6]
