What cities are included in Hakka area?

1. Hakka areas include Meizhou, Huizhou, Heyuan, Tingzhou, Ganzhou, Shaoguan, Qingyuan, Longyan, Pearl River Delta, southern Fujian and northern Jiangxi.

2. It is generally believed that Hakka base camp refers to the most important birthplace and concentration of Hakka people such as Meizhou, Huizhou, Heyuan, Tingzhou, Ganzhou and Shenzhen. In addition, there are many Hakka people in Shaoguan, Qingyuan and Longyan, and there are also many non-pure Hakka counties here. Among them, Meizhou, Huizhou, Tingzhou and Ganzhou are called Hakka four states. In addition, there are a large number of Hakka aborigines in the Pearl River Delta, southern Fujian and northern Jiangxi, such as the top ten Hakka ancient villages preserved in Shenzhen, whose aborigines are Hakkas.

3. Hakka areas are customarily called pure Hakka counties and impure Hakka counties, but there is no measurement standard so far. For example, pure Hakka county, the Hakka population should account for the total population, and impure Hakka county can only be regarded as impure Hakka county. Therefore, it can only be arranged according to the survey data of scholars in the past and recent years. With the deepening of Hakka studies, this arrangement will be somewhat different. There may be some newly discovered Hakka counties that have not been listed yet, but those that should not be listed can only be used as reference at present.
