How to explain the word culture in Guangxi? Why is there the word culture?

Due to the specific geographical location and historical conditions, Zhuang nationality has deep roots with all ethnic groups in Southeast Asia. Experts believe that the Zhuang nationality is similar to all ethnic groups in Southeast Asia in manners and customs, language and lifestyle, and they all belong to "that kind of culture", that is, "rice culture". This kind of karma, in today's globalization, is conducive to mutual understanding and recognition among various nationalities and countries. Qin Naichang, director and researcher of Guangxi Institute for Nationalities, said: Zhuang is one of the most populous ethnic groups in China today, mainly distributed in Guangxi. Zhuang nationality has a long history. Since ancient times, the Zhuang people and their ancestors have thrived in the Pearl River Basin in the south of China. Zhuang nationality is an indigenous people living in the Pearl River valley. Zhuang nationality is located at the intersection of cultural exchanges between the Central Plains and Southeast Asia, and between South China and Southwest provinces, and its culture is characterized by relative openness and integration. The ancestors of Zhuang nationality adapted to the natural geographical environment and climate characteristics in the south of the Yangtze River, mainly in the Pearl River basin, and domesticated wild rice into cultivated rice, which was one of the earliest rice culture created in China. Therefore, the Zhuang nationality is a rice-growing nation. They call the paddy field "Na", so they call it "Na culture". Qin Naichang pointed out that in 1990s, China scholars put forward the concepts of "Na" culture and "Na" cultural circle. In the Pearl River Basin, the names of Guan Na are distributed, among which the Zuoyou River, Hongshui River and Yongjiang River in Guangxi are the most densely populated. In North Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar and Assam in India, the place names of Guan Na are also widely distributed. The geographical scope of geographical distribution of "Na" geographical names starts from the central Guangdong Province in China to Myanmar and central India in the west, and reaches the central Yunnan and southern Guizhou in the north, and reaches the southern Thailand, central Vietnam and Hainan Province in China in the south, forming the "Na" cultural circle, which is the rice culture and rice culture circle, and is also one of the origins of rice cultivation. The Dong-Tai language group that first lived in this area created the "Na" culture, including Zhuang, Buyi, Dai, Dong, Shui, Mulao, Maonan, Li and Gelao in China, Dai, Yi and Lao in Vietnam, Tai in Thailand, Shan in Myanmar, Ahe in Assam in India, etc. Regarding the development of Na culture, Qin Naichang said that the Zhuang, Buyi, Dong, Shui, Mulao, Maonan, Li and other ethnic groups located in the east of Na cultural circle have the same development direction under the influence of Chinese culture and regional differences; However, due to the influence of Indian culture and Buddhist culture, as well as the different geographical environment, the Thai people in neighboring countries west of the "Na" cultural circle, the Shan people in Myanmar and the elderly in Laos have developed in another direction. The rise of Zhuang culture research is closely related to the relevant national cultures in Southeast Asian countries. As a homologous nation, Zhuang culture occupies an important position in human civilization and has become the research object of concern to all countries in the world. Pan, a researcher at Guangxi Academy of Social Sciences, believes that the study of Zhuang nationality should be placed in an important position, that is, the social groups and cultural characteristics of Zhuang nationality should be taken as the object, and historical and overall systematic research should be carried out from various fields to explore their development process and laws. Because of my mother tongue, "when I give lectures at Thai universities, I sometimes say some daily expressions in Zhuang language, which students can understand;" When shopping in the street, we talked in Zhuang language, and both sides could understand. During the lecture and investigation in Thailand, because of the same language, it was just like in my hometown in Guangxi. This is because everyone uses the same mother tongue of the same ethnic origin, thus laying the foundation for cultural exchanges and economic cooperation between the Zhuang area and Southeast Asian countries, and achieving close feelings. " Pan Xuqi said. Pan pointed out that the comparative study of national languages shows that the languages of Zhuang, Thai, Lao and Shan have great homophony components and characteristics, that is, they come from the same mother tongue, and their mother tongue is Guyue. How to strengthen the research and exchange of Zhuang studies? Pan believes that due to the specific geographical location and historical conditions, Zhuang people have close relations with ethnic groups in Southeast Asian countries of Indo-China Peninsula, such as the Vietnamese Dai, Yi, Lao, Thai Thai and Myanmar Shan, which has long been a historical and cultural phenomenon concerned by scholars at home and abroad, and has also become one of the hot topics that international Zhuang scholars pay attention to ethnic groups in Southeast Asian countries. Therefore, experts and scholars from the United States, Britain, Thailand, New Zealand, Japan, Vietnam, Laos and other countries have visited Guangxi successively, and 10 has been more frequent since. More and more foreign scholars have begun to pay attention to the study of Zhuang nationality, which has gone global. Qin Naichang, director of Guangxi Ethnic Studies, believes that Zhuang culture has distinctive features and profound connotations, which are related to all ethnic groups in Southeast Asia. This is a resource advantage for Nanning and even Guangxi to carry out economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation and promote the development of * * *. Does Nanning's urban construction lack national characteristics? Nanning, as the capital of Guangxi, of course has obvious importance. Although Nanning has been rated as "the national advanced city in landscaping" and a modern garden city pattern with subtropical scenery has been formed, on the other hand, compared with the capital cities of other ethnic minority areas, Nanning has not yet reflected its due characteristics as the capital city of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, which is regrettable. Qin Cailuan, a researcher at Guangxi University for Nationalities and an expert in ethnic architecture, pointed out: At present, Nanning not only lacks representative buildings with significant local ethnic characteristics, but also lacks ethnic commercial streets, ethnic parks and sculptures with distinctive local styles and strong cultural atmosphere. The whole city can't form a strong humanistic atmosphere, and it is difficult to leave a deep impression on people, so it is not attractive to foreigners or foreigners, which affects the development of tourism and cultural exchanges with Southeast Asian countries. In this regard, Qin Cailuan believes that this is mainly manifested in people's superficial and vague understanding of the significance and manifestations of the national characteristics of Nanning's urban construction, especially the lack of understanding and understanding of the long history and rich culture of Zhuang, the main ethnic group in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Therefore, in urban architectural design and old city reconstruction, they blindly pursue novelty and foreign flavor in form, grandeur and height in scale, luxury and richness in decoration, while ignoring the specific climatic conditions and places in Nanning. On the contrary, Hong Kong Street, Macau Street and Guangdong Street should be planned and built. Qin Cailuan said that the orientation of Nanning's urban construction should be "a modern garden city with national characteristics and subtropical scenery", which was clearly put forward in the State Council's Reply on the Master Plan of Nanning, and it is also the guiding ideology and goal of urban construction at present and in the future. Now, the China-ASEAN Expo is held in Nanning every year, and the national characteristics of urban construction are more important. Nanning, as the capital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, should be a gathering place of world-famous national cultures such as Zhuang, Yao, Miao, Dong, Mulao, Maonan and Gelao. In urban construction, we should fully absorb the unique and reasonable elements of architectural culture of world-famous ethnic groups such as Zhuang, Dong, Yao, Miao and Maonan, show their structural forms and cultural connotations, and establish a new image of the capital and even Guangxi. Qin Cailuan pointed out that Nanning has become the venue of the annual China-ASEAN Expo, and has closer contacts with Southeast Asia and other countries in the world. Nanning should show its national characteristics and history and culture to the world, not high-end buildings. It is a charming city.
