There were many different views on the origin of the Hakka language. One view was that its origin could be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period (770 - 221 B.C.). At that time, the Central Plains was in constant war, and many people migrated to southern China. These immigrants from the north brought their own language and culture, blended with the local aborigines, and gradually evolved into modern Hakka. Another view was that it was related to the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279). During the Song Dynasty, there was a chaotic situation of "five generations and ten countries" in the south. A large number of northerners moved south to the Jiangnan area. Among them, the language brought by the group called "Hakka" from Henan, Hubei and other places mixed with the local dialect to form today's Hakka. There was also a view that the Hakka language originated from the Zhou Dynasty's elegant language and continued the Heluo Zhengyin of the Tang and Song Dynasties. The master of language, Professor Wang Li, agreed that the Hakka language was the official language of the Zhou Dynasty, and used the rhyme of the Book of Songs as evidence. Huang Zunxian, a native of Mei County in the late Qing Dynasty, believed that the Hakka language originated from the pre-Qin period, more than 2,000 years ago.
