Detailed attractions

1. Hakka Ancestral Hall:

Entering the gate tower is the square, and the Hakka Ancestral Hall is just 100 steps ahead. Hakka Ancestral Hall is built for the Hakka people in the world. It covers an area of 3381 square meters and a construction area of 2161 square meters. It is divided into front, middle and back entrance hall. The front hall is an exhibition of Hakka culture. Entering from the main entrance with the words "Hakka Ancestral Temple", the word "Fu", commonly known as the first blessing of Hakka, first appears on the eyelids.

From the side of "the first blessing of Hakka", there is the front hall. The four walls of the front hall are famous calligraphy and painting, including Hakka figure painting, Hakka landscape painting, couplets and Hakka proverbs, all of which show Hakka culture. The central hall is the exhibition hall of Hakka Genealogy. A plaque is placed in the hall to introduce the situation of Hakka Genealogy. There are many wooden cabinets on the left and right sides, in which the genealogies of more than 100 Hakka surnames are stored for visitors to read. In the middle of the hall is the statue of Hakka ancestor. In front of the statue is a censer for Hakka visitors to burn incense and pay homage. On both sides of the statue are the tablets of the ancestors of each surname. In front of the tablets is an electronic censer, and the incense is always burning.

2. Jihe tower

There is a tower on the right side of the Hakka Ancestral Hall. The tower is divided into nine layers. It is called "Jihe tower". The tower and the surrounding flowers and stone chairs form a beautiful scene. On one side of the "Jihe tower", there are a row of stone pillars, which are engraved with relief and characters on the base of the stone pillars.

3. Hakka Art Gallery

On both sides of the 100 meter long corridor, there are Hakka poetry walls and stone carvings reflecting Hakka people's production and life in the form of long volumes, including farming, festival, pleasure and life. Each stone carving image is vivid. Among them, my favorite is a sculpture showing children setting off firecrackers during the Spring Festival. On the screen, in front of the door of the house where couplets are pasted, two children half squat and stand up, setting off firecrackers in high spirits.

You see, the chubby little boy is wearing a tiger head cap and holding a stick of incense in his hand. He is carefully preparing to light the firecrackers on the ground. Maybe he was afraid that he would be hurt by the firecrackers. He held his breath, leaned back a little, stretched out his hand, and let the incense in his hand just reach the firecrackers. He was ready to light the firecrackers and run away. Another little boy, who was watching from a distance, covered his ears tightly with his hands, slightly shrunk his neck and stared at the firecrackers on the ground, waiting for the firecrackers to blast off at any time

historical origin

Gannan is an important distribution center of Hakkas in history and the largest settlement of Hakkas today. Historically, Ganxian County, which has always been in the center of Gannan, is located at the source of Ganjiang River. With the advantages of boats and boats, it connects Zhongzhou in the north, Baiyue in the south, Bamin in the East and Sanxiang in the West. In addition to its open terrain, fertile land and abundant resources, Ganxian county is the first important station to accept the Han people who moved to the Central Plains. It is the main birthplace, transit station and rear area of Hakkas.

Ganxian county was founded in the early 6th year of Gaozu of Han Dynasty. It got its name because of "gangiant in the South" recorded in Shanhaijing. There is a description of "Muke" in shangluoshan area of Ganxian County in Shanhaijing, which is the earliest record of Gannan Hakka.

As the first county of Hakka administrative system in the golden triangle of Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong, Hakka people have been living here for generations. In the long-term hard work, Hakka spirit of "unity, diligence, thrift, civilization and openness" and splendid Hakka culture have been bred. Up to now, there are still well preserved ancient Hakka villages, such as egrets, Xiafu ancestral temple group, Tiancun Qizhen temple, yangxianling and other historic sites, as well as unique Hakka folk customs, such as grabbing the sedan chair and burning the pagoda.
