Is there any mention of Zhuang nationality in Thai history?

1. How many ethnic groups in Thailand have Zhuang nationality? I also heard that some of them are the same as the thoughtful Zhuang people. Thailand is a multi-ethnic country, consisting of more than 30 ethnic groups, of which 40% are Thai, 35% are Lao, 3.5% are Malay and 2% are Khmer. In addition, there are Miao, Yao, Guangxi, Wen, Karen, Shan and other mountain nationalities. Thai is the national language. Buddhism is the national religion of Thailand. More than 90% of the residents believe in Buddhism, while Malays believe in Christianity, Protestantism, Catholicism, Hinduism and Sikhism. For hundreds of years, Thai customs, literature, art and architecture have been closely related to Buddhism. When you travel to Thailand, you can see monks in yellow robes and splendid temples everywhere. Therefore, Thailand has the reputation of "yellow robe Buddha country". Buddhism has shaped the moral standards for Thais, and made them form a spirit of advocating tolerance, tranquility and peace.

The main ethnic groups in Thailand are Thai (Dai) and Lao (the main ethnic group in Laos), and their languages belong to Sino-Tibetan language family-Zhuang-Dong language family. Thai is an analytical language, and different tones can distinguish vocabulary and grammar. ) The ethnic group belongs to the yellow race of South Asia.

Zhuang language belongs to the Taiwan Province branch of the Dong-Tai language family of Tai-Jia-Dai language family (Zhuang-Dong language family) and is closely related to Thai, Lao, Dai and Shan languages. Some foreign scholars call Zhuang language "Northern Taiwan". The northern dialects of Zhuang and Buyi belong to the northern group of Taiwanese branch, while the southern dialects of Vietnamese Zhuang and Dai Nong belong to the central group of Taiwanese branch. In addition, Thai, Lao, Dai and Shan languages constitute the southwest group of the Taiwanese branch. Ethnic types are all yellow people and South Asian types.

Zhuang, Dong, Buyi, Dai and other ethnic groups are of the same ancestry as the Thai, Lao, Shan, Lao, Dai and Nong ethnic groups in Vietnam, and they all belong to the primitive Yue tribe, the descendants of the Buluotuo ethnic group!

2. I found in some English materials that when referring to the ethnic minorities in China, the main ethnic groups in Thailand are Thai (Dai) and Lao (the main ethnic group in Laos), and their languages belong to the Sino-Tibetan language family-Zhuang Dong language family (belonging to Zhuang Dong language family). Thai is an analytical language, and different tones can distinguish vocabulary and grammar. ) The ethnic group belongs to the yellow race of South Asia.

Zhuang language belongs to the Taiwan Province branch of the Dong-Tai language family of Tai-Jia-Dai language family (Zhuang-Dong language family) and is closely related to Thai, Lao, Dai and Shan languages. Some foreign scholars call Zhuang language "Northern Taiwan". The northern dialects of Zhuang and Buyi belong to the northern group of Taiwanese branch, while the southern dialects of Vietnamese Zhuang and Dai Nong belong to the central group of Taiwanese branch. In addition, Thai, Lao, Dai and Shan languages constitute the southwest group of the Taiwanese branch. Ethnic types are all yellow people and South Asian types.

Zhuang, Dong, Buyi, Dai and other ethnic groups are of the same ancestry as the Thai, Lao, Shan, Lao, Dai and Nong ethnic groups in Vietnam, and they all belong to the primitive Yue tribe, the descendants of the Buluotuo ethnic group!

So add a "Thai" to distinguish.

3. Thai and Zhuang languages are very similar to Xinhua News Agency Nanning May 1 1. Some Thai scholars have begun to agree with a view of China scholars, that is, Thais, the main ethnic group in Thailand, have the same origin as the Zhuang nationality in China, but their later development is different. This is what the reporter learned from the Fourth Academic Conference on Zhuang Studies held recently in Tian Yang, Guangxi.

Thailand has a population of more than 50 million, distributed in 73 provinces in Thailand. Zhuang is the most populous ethnic minority in China, with a population of about170,000, mainly living in southern provinces such as Guangxi, Yunnan and Guangdong, which are adjacent to Southeast Asian countries.

The unanimous conclusion that the Zhuang and Thai nationalities share the same origin but flow in different directions comes from the comparative study of the traditional culture of the Zhuang and Thai nationalities, which is the result of the cooperation between the Guangxi Ethnic Research Association of China and the Thai University of Arts. The book was compiled by researcher * * *(Tan Sheng * * * of Guangxi University for Nationalities, and 55 researchers from China and Thailand participated in the compilation, including 32 Thai scholars.

This study involves archaeology, sociology, linguistics, economics, culture and art, architecture, science and technology and education 15. This multi-field and all-round research provides a detailed basis for Zhuang and Taiwan's theory of the same source and different currents. In the book, Zhuang and Thai scholars believe that "Taiwanese-speaking peoples, including Thai and Zhuang ethnic groups, all originated from Xi 'ou and Luoyue among Baiyue ethnic groups. These places include Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in China and Honghekou Delta in northern Vietnam. "

Zhao, director of the Zhuang Studies Center of Guangxi Academy of Social Sciences, said that studies by Chinese and Thai scholars show that Thai and Zhuang people have similarities in language, architecture and religious customs. For example, it is found that the vowels and consonants of Zhuang and Thai are basically the same; More than 75% of 1000 old basic words are the same or similar, while Zhuang and Thai are identical in grammatical structure. Both Zhuang and Thai people like dry-railing architecture. The structure, name and even living customs of houses are basically the same, but the roof form, decoration and interior layout are different. Although the colors of Zhuang and Thai costumes are different, their colors are similar. For example, everyone likes to dye indigo, and they all advocate yellow. The wide skirt with the coat off is quite similar to the children's hat. In terms of diet, both ethnic groups take rice as their staple food and like glutinous rice, even bamboo rice cooked in the wild. In terms of culture and art, the creative gods of Zhuang and Thai are all related to gourd; There are many legends about the origin of cattle and grain seeds. Although the plots are different, they are all rooted in rice cultivation.

Zhang Shengzhen, honorary president of Guangxi Zhuang Society, said: "This book makes a systematic and in-depth comparative study of the traditional culture of Zhuang and Thai for the first time, and draws the conclusion that the Zhuang and Thai nationalities have the same origin and different currents, which has solved the academic doubts about the relationship between Zhuang and Dong-speaking ethnic groups in South China and Taishan ethnic groups in Southeast Asia since the19th century." According to reports, another study called "Zhuang-Thai kinship" is also under way.
