I don't think there is a single root of Hakka, nor a single time of their southward migration. Luoyang is only one of the many. I am afraid that what Luoyang city is doing is a bit of catching attention and manufacturing history for their tourism. If you watch CCTV regularly, you will realize that many provinces and counties are doing similar commercial advertisements that make dubious claims.Interesting I know the origin of Hakka is somewhere in the central plain. But I never know actually it is the city of Luoyang According to this author the origin of Hakka, Minnan people left Luoyang during the Jin dynasty due to sacking of the city by the five Hu(barbarian). Hakka is known for their thrift, hardworking, respect for education. Well known Hakka, LKY, Deng Xiaoping, Zhu De, Yeh Chinying. Taiping. They are the Jew of the Chinese scattered all over the province but mostly in the western Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi

Xi: People should cherish the city's historical and cultural heritage as their own lives
Fuzhou's Sanfang Qixiang is actually quite small area. My ancestor has resided there for centuries before some of them moved to more rural part of Fuzhou and some stay behind. Of course, most of my relatives now have migrated to Singapore, Hong Kong, Canada, and the US and some in SEA and Latin America.

Chinese culture is basically based on overcoming flood and building dyke. Western historian doubted the existence of Xia dynasty because no written record is ever found of its existence. I guess it predate writing. But recent archeological find though not a proof but give tantalizing evidence of the existence of civilization around the time line of Xia like large palace was found in Erlitou site. CGTN run a hundred part series of complete Chinese history. I watch most of them but can't find in the CGTN documentary online But somebody did either record it or find it the Chinese version. Here is it part 6 Xia dynasty fascinating look at the origin of Chinese civilization

Interesting to see wedding ceremony in rural Shanxi I am struck with similarity to the peranakan wedding ceremony like exchanging gift, combing the hair to signify reaching adulthood, procession. picking up the bride. preparation of wedding chamber. Of course a lot has been lost thru CR and shorten due to modern time. But there is consistency in chinese culture over time and space. the only difference is there is no fighting between bidegroom friend and bride friend in baba wedding I think this influence from modern time.
This lady sister Xia has a cooking show she is a bit plumb but has beautiful big heart and soul for some reason she is popular with Russian speaking fan amazing.

A grand ceremony honoring the Yellow emperor is held in East China. Huangdi is literally the Abraham of the Chinese . All Chinese supposed to be derive from him. Not sure if it true since Chinese is not race but cultural connotation and most likely the result of amalgamation of different tribes in Central China before spreading and assimilating the other tribes in the rest of What is China today.
A grand ceremony paying tribute to Huangdi, or the Yellow Emperor, who is considered a common ancestor of all Han Chinese, is held at the Xiandu Scenic Spot in Jinyun County, Lishui City, east China's Zhejiang Province. The worship for the Yellow Emperor can be traced back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317–420), making it a ritual with a history over 1,600 years. Join CGTN for more at the ceremonial site.

I am moved and speechless after seeing this video. It tell the story of Malaysian Hokkien who trace their root to Yongchun county in Fujian. The first thing that they do is visiting the ancestral or clan temple and update their Jiapu as well giving donation for the upkeep of the temple. They are warmly received by the villager as most of the villager has the same surname.
It is always puzzled me as to why the Fujianese and in general other southern Chinese in SEA are so attached to their hometown transcending time and space. While the Cantonese in US and Australia pay scant attention to their root. I think it has to do with clan association that is so widespread in SEA. They maintain the conduit of information, remittance, donation and clan loyalty tethering to their home town as clearly show in this video They built school, pay for maintenance of ancestral hall
The first 14 minutes of the video will introduce you to some of the tourist attractions in Fujian (Xiamen, Quan Zhou city, the famous Tulou in Nan Jing county in Zhang Zhou, Yun Shui Yao, Ta Xia village, Jin Jiang) and the highlight of the trip: actual visit to my ancestor's hometown (Yong Chun) will begin at minutes. This is followed by WuYiShan mountain from minutes and concluding remarks will begin at minutes.
Wow Hokkien is so old we can trace their origin from San guo time amazing the language spoken in San guo time. Start migrating to the south in 330 Ad Western Jin dynasty
