Abstract:
China is home to one of the largest and oldest societies in the world, and
presently contains fifty-six ethnic groups. Among them is the Zhuang, the
largest of the minority populations, which partakes in a very long history of
preliterate oral traditions. This volume presents an introduction to Zhuang
language and culture in Zhuang proverbs. The two thousand proverbs explored in
this text bear the weight of Zhuang history and culture, and embody the wisdom
collected from publications, manuscripts, and the speeches of the people who
live in Zhuang villages. These proverbs are grouped into nine sections:
Truths; Morality; Family; Everyday Life; Social Life; Labor; Nature; Customs;
and Politics. Together, they form an essential distillation of the Zhuang
history, tradition, philosophy, and most importantly, its legacy. This
accessible introduction—which includes translations in Zhuang Pinyin letters,
Mandarin, and American English for each proverb—provides an important corpus
for the study of the Zhuang ethnic group by scholars, students, and others who
are interested in Zhuang language, culture, folklore and oral traditions, and
proverbs.
