Publication Date: First Edition, September 2019
With Siinˇ Mungˇ（a grateful heart）toward Taiwanese society, the Taiwanese Hakka has made this island an ever more beautiful land. Across the plains and foothills of the island, the Hakka people have cultivated a traditional rural culture grounded in respect for nature, sustainability, and communal harmony. Through literature, art, and music, they have joined with other ethnic groups to shape Taiwan’s contemporary values, inspiring cultural creativity and strengthening the spirit of civil society.
This chapter of Hakka history—originating from the broader Chinese cultural tradition yet transformed into a distinct island identity—resonates with Hakka communities around the world, standing as a precious example of human cultural diversity and shared civilization.
