Most of 823,000 ethnic Chinese people are living in Southern Vietnam among distinct dialectical groups. Each maintains its own pantheon of gods; the majority worships standardized Thien Hau. The Hakka in Buu Long are the only group that worships the craft-master gods. This difference creates a challenging gap between the subgroups and reveals the unorthodox nature of the Hakka’s traditions. The purpose of this paper is investigate the continuous efforts to achieve “evolving standardization” and solidarity through the charismatic efforts of the local Hakka elites in Buu Long by their liturgical transformation.,The study further discusses the multilateral interaction and hidden discourses by applying Watson’s (1985) theory of standardization and orthodoxy as well as Weller’s (1987) concept of context-based interpretation.,Truthfully, when facing pressures, the Hakka in Southern Vietnam decided to transform their non-standard worship of the craft masters into a more integrative model, the Thien Hau cult, by superimposing the new cult on the original platform without significant changes in either belief or liturgical practice. The performance shows to be the so-called “the caterpillar’s spirit under a butterfly’s might” case.,The transformation reveals that the Hakka are currently in their endless struggles for identity and integration, even getting engaged in a pseudo-standardization.,This Hakka’s bottom-up evolutionary standardization deserves to be responded academically and practically.,The paper begins with a setting of academic discussions by western writers in this area and then moves on to what makes the practical transformation, how does it happen, and what discourses are hidden underneath.

越南南部的客家身份与宗教转型

在823,000名华人中，大多数人居住在越南南部的不同的辩证团体中。每个人都有自己的众神殿；大多数人崇拜标准化的天后。Buu Long的客家人是唯一崇拜工艺大师神的团体。这种差异在各亚组之间造成了具有挑战性的鸿沟，并揭示了客家传统的非传统性质。本文的目的是研究通过布隆当地客家精英的礼仪改造，通过不断的努力来实现“不断发展的标准化”和团结。通过使用沃森（Watson）的方法，本研究进一步探讨了多边互动和隐藏的话语。 1985年）的标准化和正统理论，以及Weller（1987年）基于上下文的解释的概念。面对压力时，越南南部的客家人决定将他们对工艺大师的非标准崇拜转变为一种更融合的模式，即天后邪教，将新邪教叠加在原始平台上，而信仰或礼仪实践没有发生重大变化。该表演表明是所谓的“蝴蝶的力量在毛毛虫的精神下”。这种转变表明，客家人目前正在为身份和融合进行无休止的斗争，甚至正在进行伪标准化。自下而上的进化标准化值得在学术和实践上予以回应。本文首先从西方作家在这一领域的学术讨论开始，然后着手进行实际转变的方式，如何进行的转变，
