The Connotation-rich Culture of the Brahmaputra of the Zhuang People

Every culture has its own myths and legends, and the Zhuang culture with its long history is no exception. In the oral literature handed down by the ancestors of the Zhuang people, Bluto is the god of creation, the god of ancestor and the god of morality, that is the god of the Zhuang people who created the heaven and the earth, created all things, arranged the order and formulated the ethics, and the culture about Bluto has been formed in the course of time.

Legend has it that Bluto is the founder of the Zhuang nation, and the 19th day of the 2nd month of the lunar calendar is the birthday of Bluto. Historically, the Zhuang people would spontaneously go to the holy mountain of the Zhuang people - Tianyang County, Guangxi to sacrifice the ancestor Bluto, and form the oldest and grandest singing polder in Guangxi.

In June 2006, the culture of Bluto was included in the first intangible cultural heritage list. According to historical records, Tianyang Dare Zhuang Mountain Song Wei was formed before the Sui and Tang dynasties. Now most of the Zhuang researchers have agreed that Dare Strong Mountain is one of the main birthplaces of the Zhuang Brocade culture, and Tianyang Dare Strong Mountain has become the "holy mountain" and spiritual home of the Zhuang people.

On the cultural complex of Bluto, the Zhuang in Yunnan, Wenshan Zhuang, also widely spread the story of Bluto, and "Bluto scripture poetry" orally taught to remember, oral and ear to ear. Wenshan Zhuang people in the territory of the state from top to bottom, so far, year after year are held to worship Bluto ceremony, although the village worship time is not the same, but the purpose is the same, that is, to pray for the next year, the wind and rain, a good harvest of rice, prosperous people, village peace.

Ma Guan, Xichou, Funing and other Zhuang people, folk still have a lot of Brocade scriptures and ritual activities. Ma Guan County, Renhe Township, A'e new cottage, the last day of May each year, we have to sacrifice "Bluto", reciting the "Bluto scriptures". Southeast of the cottage there is a mountain named "Bluto", there are four ancient chestnut trees, one of which is called "Melodrama", that is, "Bluto God Tree", the local villagers every year to the The local villagers come to the mountain every year to hold activities to worship the sacred tree.

Broda, some places translated as "Buber", in fact, is the "Broda" myths and legends. Yunnan People's Publishing House, "Zhuang folk tales" book has recorded: "Bluto is the Creator (Creator) of our Zhuang family", he is an omnipotent, open up the sky and create everything in the great God.

The worship of Bluto is the original primitive religion. Funing County, there is a "spinach mountain", according to the evidence should be "Bluto" mountain. The mountain does not produce "pineapple", so it should be "Bluto" mountain name "the same name read differently". All of this, is the "Bluto culture" in Wenshan Zhuangxiang reflection.

So, what is "Bluto culture"? I think: Bluto culture is mainly expressed in the rice farming as the main content of the material culture and creation as the main content of the spiritual culture, is the Pearl River Basin primitive national **** the same body that is the core of the culture of the West Ou Luoyue national culture, is an important part of the Chinese nation's multi-faceted one culture, she enriched the traditional cultural treasures of the Chinese nation.

According to the experts of Zhuang studies, the culture of Bluto is a spiritual conceptual system in which the Zhuang and their forefathers worship Bluto as the God of Creation, the God of Ancestors, the God of Religion and the God of Morality, and follow the will to mediate the relationship between human and nature, human and society, and human and human to seek their own survival and development.

Summarizing the "spirit of Bluto culture" as "opening up the sky, creating everything, arranging things in an orderly manner, and solving problems". The culture of Bluto is profound and self-contained. Its core is the "spirit of creation" and "spirit of harmony". It is this great spirit of nurturing support, in order to make the Zhuang people to reproduce to date, and become the second largest ethnic group in China with a population of about the same as Australia.
