In recent years, the Hakka Affairs Council has been devoted to promote and reserve the Hakka language and couture. The most famous Hakka communities are located in the Tao-Chu-Miao and Liutui of Pingtong countie because the couture dominance is very obvious in those areas. However, the Hakka steps can still be found in other places. For example, the Dalin township of Chiayi County is a place with implicit Hakka characteristics compares to those two areas mentioned above. 　 　　This study uses literatures as its core to describe the immigration process of the Changchou -Hakka people of Taiwan. Then the study performs fieldwork on the Dalin town based on the development background of the Changchou -Hakka. 　 　　The results shows that most of the Hakka in Dalin are from the Changchou , Fujian. Most of them spreads on Sancun、Sanjiao、Goubei、Yihan、Neilin、Guoxi、Sanhan and Damei. Based on the immigration documents, a person called Yunzhen Xue is one of the people who first arrives in town and lead his people to build Shigu Canal in the Sanjiao. They drained water from the Meishan township and Hwuasin river to the east north area for people to use and make their life more convenience. There is also another factor that may cause the distribution of the people, which is the frequently fights in the Chin dynasty. Due to the origin, geographical, ethnic identity and political reasons, those fights unite the Hakka people from different group and defend the attacks. Those two factors lead to a current distribution of the the Zhangzhou-Hakka group.
