Most Hakka ancestors lived in Henan and Shanxi. After wars and natural disasters in past dynasties, it moved south five times. They are a legendary and mysterious group. In the harsh environment, on the one hand, Hakkas maintained the ancient spiritual tradition of primitive Central Plains culture, on the other hand, they formed their own distinctive cultural spiritual tradition through suffering and torture. According to the textual research on the origin of Hu Wenhu clan, Hu Wenhu ancestors migrated from the Central Plains to Luling and Ningdu in Jiangxi, Changting, Shanghang and Yongding in Fujian, Myanmar and Singapore overseas. Like all Hakkas, they have formed a cultural tradition of speaking with the same spirit and customs in the process of social unrest and natural selection. As a part of China's cultural tradition, this cultural tradition is mainly based on traditional Confucian culture. Although Hu Wenhu was born overseas in Myanmar, he received a strong family education with Hakka concept since childhood and returned to his hometown to study for four years. He was familiar with the romance of the Four Books, Five Classics and the Three Kingdoms of the Water Margin, heard and witnessed the local customs, and subtly planted the "Hakka spirit" in his young mind. As he later said in the preface of the special issue commemorating the 30th anniversary of the establishment of Chongzheng Department in Hong Kong, "My Hakka people have developed diligence and thoughtfulness because of their native land and ingram micro's entrepreneurial spirit ..." And "Hakka spirit means diligence, fortitude, perseverance and unity." It can be seen that the Hakka people's inherent cultural and spiritual traditions and ethics have a profound influence on Hu Wenhu. Diligence is the essence of Hakka cultural tradition and an important embodiment of Hakka spirit, which has a positive impact on Hu Wenhu. The ancestors of Hakkas experienced a long migration process and numerous complicated environments, which made them realize the importance of diligence, forbearance and frugality in the process of adapting to the environment and maintaining their lives, and formed the rare diligence, diligence and frugality of Hakkas compared with other nationalities. Hu Wenhu was born into a family of drug dealers, who barely made ends meet in Myanmar. When he was a child, he experienced the hardships of poverty, simplicity and silent cultivation of the working people in his hometown. Most of the older generation of overseas Chinese crossed the south to make a living, with low academic qualifications. They can only do hard work, struggle for physical strength, and exchange hard work and hardship for a perfunctory life. The lyrics of the Hakka folk song "Nanyang Ji" sing: compassion for others, irrelevant. Poor people starve to death and pile up into mountains, so they have nowhere to go, so they have to go abroad, get up when chickens crow, call it a day, and rest when cows are horses. Cattle and horses are not as good as Chinese workers. In this case, it is difficult for overseas Chinese ancestors to survive without relying on the spirit of hard work and hard work. As mentioned in the Biography of Hu Wenhu written by Kang Jiwen, "The first generation of overseas Chinese conquered the world hand in hand, but the second generation is usually a person who eats, drinks and enjoys success like' Qin Ershi'. However, Hu Wenhu is not such a person, but an ancestor who can kick and punch, create a country and conquer the world-get married and start a career. " 1908, after Hu's death, the business of Yong 'antang Chinese Medicine Company went from bad to worse due to the challenge and impact of western medicine, with only less than 2,000 yuan of capital left. Faced with this dilemma, Hu Wenhu resolutely changed his mind when he was poor. He and his younger brother Hu Wenbao were thrifty and went to various places to look for medicine in person. After more than two years, 909 experiments were successfully developed. Later, in the process of promoting Chinese medicine, "I took a tiger-labeled Chinese medicine specimen with me, only borrowed a fellow villager from Xingzhou to various ports in the East India of the Netherlands, went deep into barren villages, took a detour in the heat to post advertisements and papers, stopped at the roadside at noon, took the rice balls I brought with me, dipped them in fried salt, drank them in the stream, and stayed in an inn at night, so my colleagues couldn't stand the hard work, and my husband left him to go back to the star." Even with the opening of Tiger brand Chinese medicine, it became famous in Southeast Asia, its business was booming, and it also accumulated a lot of money. But Hu Wenhu is a "hardworking" Hakka entrepreneur, and his temperament has not changed. When he was young, he still worked 20 hours a day and slept for more than four hours, which was enough. There is a big difference between rest and rest. Hu Wenhu's ascetic spirit of "working hard and striving for strength" is a concentrated expression of Hakka people's struggle for survival and development in the face of long-term adversity and difficulties, and is the foundation of Hu Wenhu's career success. When a reporter later interviewed Hu Wenhu about "Why is this spirit", Hu Wenhu proudly said: "Hakkas are proud of their hard work. Unless they have a strong body and a hard-working spirit, they cannot survive and develop!"
Hakka's cultural tradition advocates the spirit of hard work and hard work, which leads to advocating thrift and not paying attention to ostentation and extravagance. "Wealth never forgets poverty" and "frugality is the foundation of a family" are common expressions of Hakkas. Hu Wenhu's bow is rigorous, and his daily life is restrained. As Chang Yun said, "Don't deliberately improve your diet, let alone be greedy, extravagant and profligate." According to the memories of colleagues around him, Hu Wenhu never tore down high-end restaurants, especially those run by foreigners. Even if he later became the second-to-none richest man, he still "must have sauerkraut (Yongding famous dish, one of the eight dry dishes in western Fujian) on the breakfast table every day, or make soup with Chili, which is of little value"; "I have been addicted to it for a long time, and I will never forget it until I die." He is thrifty in his own life, but he is generous in understanding and distributing money and wealth, "taking from society and using it." He thinks it is foolish to save money for individuals or future generations. He doesn't advocate putting money in the bank to earn interest, but using it in social welfare undertakings. It is this excellent Hakka cultural tradition that inspires Hu Wenhu to struggle hard and live a simple life. He earnestly warned that "frugality is easy, luxury is difficult". His stubbornness and personality provided spiritual impetus for the success of Hu Wenhu's life and career.
