The development process of Buyi characters

Buyi people didn't have their own national characters in the past. However, some folks use Chinese journalists or make up some vernacular to record Buyi ancient songs or Buyi scriptures recited by wizards, which is called "Chinese Buyi language". Its application scope is very small, and it has not been popularized among Buyi people.

In 1950s, the people's government organized experts to create a phonetic symbol based on Latin alphabet-Buyi language in 1956. And it has been piloted in some Buyi areas.

By the early 1960s. From 198 1, Buyi language was gradually implemented in winter. After several revisions, a relatively perfect Buyi language was finally formed in 1985.

Since the implementation of Buyi language in the Buyi area of Guizhou in the early 1980s, good results have been achieved. Especially in remote Buyi mountainous areas, the implementation of Buyi language has played a positive role in improving children's enrollment rate, enrollment rate and adult literacy rate.

Buyi language has been revised twice by 198 1 year and 1985, forming its own independent and perfect writing. The Ethnic Language Office of the Ethnic Affairs Committee of Guizhou Province has published a large number of Buyi dictionaries, monographs and collections. "Bilingual" teaching was actively promoted in the Buyi inhabited areas, and Buyi language gradually entered the school classroom.

In 2008, the ancient books of Buyi language in Libo were successfully promoted to "national treasure", which shows that Buyi language has become a recognized culture, a symbol of Buyi culture, a form of expression and the main carrier of cultural inheritance and development.
