Opis

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 of 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 folk who live in Zhuang villages.These proverbs are grouped into nine sections: Truths, Morality, Family, Everyday Life, Social Life, Productive Labor, Nature, Customs and Politics. Together, they form the essential distillation of Zhuang history, tradition, philosophy, and most importantly, its legacy. This compilation provided an important corpus for the study of Zhuang ethnic group by scholars, students and others who are interested in Zhuang language, culture, folklore and oral traditions, and proverbs. Two Thousand Zhuang Proverbs is an accessible introduction to this culture with translations in Zhuang Pinyin letters, Mandarin and American English presented for each proverb.
