According to the cognates of Zhuang language, Zhuang language belongs to the Austro-Thai language family. Zhuang language is very similar to Thai, Lao and Dai. Traditional Chinese characters of Zhuang nationality are "vernacular Chinese" created on the basis of Chinese characters. From the Tang Dynasty (7th century) in China, "vernacular Chinese" began to be used by the people. Han people call it ancient Zhuang writing, while Zhuang people call themselves "sawndip", which means "new characters" because these characters are composed of Chinese characters. However, this kind of Zhuang script has not been widely used by the whole people, and has been used by Zhuang wizards and artists to write scriptures, compose folk songs, take notes and record Zhuang place names. A large number of Buluotuo Scriptures in Zhuang language are manuscripts of ancient Zhuang language. 1950, China government experts created Zhuang language on the basis of Latin alphabet, which was partially revised in 1982. However, the new Zhuang language based on Latin letters has not been valued and popularized. Up to now, there is no formal education system of Zhuang language, so Zhuang language has always been a decoration.
Zhuang art
On the basis of concentrating folk literature, music, dance and skills, the Zhuang people created Zhuang drama. Tonggu is the most representative folk musical instrument of Zhuang nationality. Zhuang brocade is a unique brocade art handed down by Zhuang people, which has a history of 1000 years. It is called "Four Famous Brocade in China" together with Yunjin in Nanjing, Jin Shu in Chengdu and Jin Song in Suzhou.

national history
Zhuang people mainly live in Lingnan. Lingnan area has been inhabited by human beings since ancient times. In the pre-Qin period, Zhuang people belonged to Baiyue Luoyue people and Xi 'ou people, which can be traced back to the late Paleolithic period, including Liujiang people in Liujiang County, Ganqian people, Qilinshan people in Laibin City and Lipu people in Lipu County. Ganyan people and Jiulengshan people in Du 'an county, Bailiandong people and Dule people in Liuzhou city, Baojiyan people in Guilin city, Mo Ding cave people in Tiandong county, Lingshan people in Lingshan and so on. The areas where these ancient humans lived happened to belong to the ancestors of Zhuang nationality.
Zhuang people
The activity area is also the inhabited area of Zhuang people today. Accordingly, some experts speculate that the Zhuang people are the descendants of these ancient humans.
In the pre-Qin period, Guangxi was the country of Luoyue, inhabited by "Luoyue people", "xi 'ou people" and "Cangwu people" of Baiyue. Luoyue country is a famous square country of Zhuang ancestors in Lingnan. It was first seen in Wang Hui Yizhoushu, in which "passers-by" was mentioned. He once said in Yi Zhou Shu Xun Shi that "the sound of the road is near Luo, and it is suspected that it is Luo Yue. "The road is a lock, which is right. Yi Zhou Shu, also known as Zhou Shu, is an ancient book in the pre-Qin period. Most of the chapters are from the Warring States period, and the Shang and Zhou events recorded in them must be original. In the original flavor of Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals, there is also a reference to "the bacteria". In the Han Dynasty, Gao noted: "The name of the country. Bacteria, bamboo shoots. "Luo Yue is a Chinese expression, which means crossing a valley or a bird, and Vietnamese is Luo Yue in reverse. The name "Tong" appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty. Zengbo Li, a poet in the Song Dynasty, mentioned in the memorial of Song Lizong that there were "servants" in Yishan. Zhu Fu, a poet in the Song Dynasty, further pointed out that there are five "cavemen" in the south: Miao, Yao, Kou, Yi and Gelao. After that, the name of Yao (Tong) was mostly used in the past dynasties, and the name of Yao was gradually quoted in the Ming Dynasty, but it was mostly accompanied by Yao. By the Qing Dynasty, the name "Yi (Tong)" had been quoted all over Guangxi. 1949 after in-depth investigation and ethnic identification, the people's government called Guangxi, Guangdong and Yunnan "Buzhuang", "Butu", "Bunong", "Bunuo", "Buyi" and "Bumin". Later, because the meaning of the word "Tong" was not clear enough, it was easy to be mispronounced. 1965 At the initiative of the Prime Minister, the word "Tong" was changed to "Zhuang" and the word "Tong" was changed to "Zhuang".
