The Role of Guangxi Folk Song Archives in Protecting Local Ethnic Culture
广西是中国少数民族人口最多的自治区,拥有12个世居民族,其中壮族是具有悠久历史的土著民族,是中国第二大民族。壮族先民拥有自己的语言,并试图创造本民族的文字,由于壮族地区经济文化发展落后,始终没有统一广泛使用的民族文字。
Guangxi, home to 12 long-dwelling ethnic groups, is an autonomous region boasting the largest population of different ethnic groups in China. Among which, Zhuang, the indigenous group with the second largest population among all ethnic groups in China, enjoys a long history. Zhuang people had their own language and tried to create their own characters. Due to backward economic and cultural development, written language for Zhuang people was not created.
