More than 90% of the population in the town belongs to Hakka nationality. With strong Hakka customs, Meinong Town is a town with rich ethnic characteristics in Kaohsiung County.

Like the Hakkas in other places, Meinong's Hakkas pay special attention to writing and education. In daily life, Meinong people have great respect for paper and characters, and dare not destroy them casually. At present, there are four "Jingzi Pavilions" in the whole town, which are specially used to "burn paper". Dongmenlou is one of the most valuable historic sites in Meinong Town. It is also the largest gate tower in Taiwan's walled settlements. It is three feet high and five feet high, with a plaque of "great enlightenment civilization" embedded on the lintel. Hakkas, who advocate knowledge and pay attention to education, hope that their descendants will be "literati in large numbers". Therefore, they built an inner building in dongzhamen, one of the four gateways, to meet the "Wenbi peak" in nandawashan, Pingtung County, Taiwan, hoping that their descendants will be "named on the golden list". Dongmenlou was originally built in the 20th year of Qianlong reign. The dongmenlou we see now was rebuilt in 1950. Over the years, more than 300 people have become masters and doctors in various fields. Therefore, Meinong has the reputation of "the township with the largest number of doctors and masters in Taiwan".

On March 14, 2004, at the press conference of the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, Premier Wen Jiabao once recited the famous sentence of Taiwan writer Zhong Lihe: "the blood of the native people must flow back to the native place before it stops boiling." Zhong Lihe is also a Hakka. Although he was born in Pingtung, he moved to Meinong at the age of 18, and thus formed an indissoluble bond with Meinong. In Meinong, Zhong Lihe met Zhong Pingmei and fell in love with her. However, in those days, they could not get married with the same surname, so they left the mainland and did not return to Taiwan until the restoration of Taiwan. Zhong Lihe married in Shenyang and published his first novel anthology oleander in Beijing. After returning to Taiwan in 1946, he created many touching novels, such as Lishan farm, rain and yuanxiangren, which injected new vitality into Taiwan literature. In 1960, Zhong Lihe lived a short life in poverty. Zhong Lihe spent his youth in Taiwan under the occupation of Japan. At that time, schools in Taiwan were only allowed to read Japanese books, not Chinese books. In order to help the children not forget their roots, local villagers secretly set up private schools to teach and read Chinese. Being baptized by Chinese culture, Zhong Lihe gradually became a persistent patriot. He knows Japanese and reads Japanese books, but he never speaks Japanese. He would rather lose his job than work for the Japanese. He refused to receive material subsidies as a "Japanese expatriate" when he couldn't afford his son's milk. In the original villager, he wrote: "I know from my father's talk that the original hometown was originally called" China "and the original people were called" Chinese. " Mr. Zhong Lihe is one of the founders of Taiwan local literature and plays an important role in the history of Taiwan modern literature. In 1983, people spontaneously built the "Zhong Lihe Memorial Hall" in Meinong. The exhibition in the hall is mainly based on pictures and manuscripts. Mr. Zhong Lihe's famous manuscript "the original villager" is displayed in the eye-catching place. Today, the "zhonglihe Memorial" seems to be the spiritual palace of people.

In Meinong countryside, youYou can see many simple and unsophisticated Sanheyuan or Siheyuan, which are the traditional settlements of Meinong Hakkas. Among them, there are some red tile buildings called "kitchens", which are not kitchens, but houses shared by "a group of people", and also the center of "respecting ancestors and pursuing distance" of the family. Meinong people's "kitchens" may be Sanheyuan or Siheyuan, with different sizes and different buildings, but "ancestral hall" is a necessary space for ancestor worship. Hakkas attach great importance to the inheritance of blood, so the left side of the couplet describes where the ancestors came from the mainland, and the right side describes where the families lived in Taiwan after they arrived in Taiwan, clearly explaining the migration process of their ancestors. For example, this couplet describes the origin of Meinong '.
