The waterwheel kiln, also known as the Mei County kiln, flourished in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. It was an important carrier of Hakka culture and one of the porcelains sold in the Tang Dynasty. These two green glazed double pots were excavated from archeological excavation. Their origins were clear, and the double and short-flow pots were preserved completely. The glaze color was natural and lustrous, and the glazed areas were lake green. The body of the pot was in the shape of a fish roe, and the overall appearance was dignified and simple.

A painting of Lin Fengmian's autumn scenery in 1978 was also assessed as a first-class cultural relic. The mountains in the distance were stacked and shrouded in clouds. The autumn trees nearby were brightly colored. On the basis of retaining the charm of traditional China painting, they absorbed the colors and composition of Western painting. The whole painting had a visual impact and was harmonious and unified.

The Historical Origin of Hakka
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.
Is Meizhou the origin of Hakka?
According to historical and philosophical research, Guangdong Province was considered one of the origins of the Hakka language, and Meizhou was considered one of the main origins and core areas of the Hakka language in Guangdong Province.
5000 Hakka folk songs in Meizhou
There were tens of thousands of lyrics of Meizhou Hakka folk songs circulating among the people, but there was no specific collection called "5000 Meizhou Hakka folk songs". The content of Meizhou Hakka folk songs included labor songs, political songs, ritual songs, etiquette songs, love songs, life songs, children's songs, etc. Love songs were the most numerous and had the highest literary value. These folk songs reflected all aspects of the lives of the Hakka people. They were the product of the fusion of the Central Plains culture and the indigenous culture of Meizhou. The lyrics were poetic and similar to the bamboo branch lyrics. They had the lingering charm of the "national style" and "Wu songs." They were sung in the Hakka dialect with nearly a hundred tones. The tones were high and long.
Why is Meizhou called a Hakka?
Meizhou was known as the "World's Hakka Capital." Most of the people in Meizhou were Hakka, so there was a saying that they were Meizhou Hakka. Hakka was not a racial concept, but a cultural concept. To identify "Hakka", one should start with culture, which included Hakka language, Hakka consciousness, Hakka customs, and so on. Meizhou was one of the distribution centers and settlements of the Hakka people. Except for a small number of ethnic minorities such as the She people and Chaoshan people, most of them were Hakka people. Among the five counties, one city, and two districts under its jurisdiction (Meijiang District, Mei County District, Xingning City, Wuhua County, Fengshun County, Dapu County, Pingyuan County, and Jiaoling County), except for Fengshun County, the rest were all "pure guest counties" where the Hakka population accounted for more than 90%. Here, one could see the original customs of the Hakka people.
The Japanese are afraid of fighting the Hakka
There was information that the Japanese had studied the ethnic characteristics of the Hakka people. The reason was that Japan was afraid of being beaten, so they tried to find a way to deal with it by studying the ethnic characteristics of the Hakka people. The Japanese also admitted that the Hakka people were born with pride and confidence. Their patriotic spirit was much stronger than any other ethnic group. From these aspects, it could be inferred that the Japanese might be afraid of fighting the Hakka, but there was no clear direct evidence that the Japanese were afraid of fighting the Hakka.
