"March 3rd" is the biggest festival of Zhuang nationality, and singing is its main content. It is usually held in a fixed place. The most attractive scene is that young men and women talk about friendship and sing folk songs. If both parties are interested, knock on the boiled red eggs. The name "March 3rd" is different in different regions. In Guangxi, which is adjacent to the discovery site of Poya Song Shu, before March 3rd was designated as the official festival of the Zhuang nationality, all such activities held in Zhuang townships were called "Song Fair", while Guangnan County, which is adjacent to the discovery site of Poya Song Shu, was called "Flower Street", but only the Zhuang people of Funing generation called it "Dragon Section" and held duet activities in Longduan Street.
The history of "Long Duan" is recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Biography of Southwest Foreigners. The book Das Kapital records: "Yong Zhongping (AD 58-75) ... supplemented Shu Yue: Jin, Gan Tang, White Wolf King, etc. I want to return to righteousness and write three chapters of poetry. " These three chapters are the world-famous Song of the White Wolf. According to the research of Zhuang scholars, there is a poem named "Going to Longdong" in Song of the White Wolf, in which Longdong is a homonym of Longduan, and the antithesis of Longduan Street is unique to Funing generation, so it can be inferred that the Song of Langya was formed in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Up to now, the custom of venerable old people discussing and making decisions in the old people's hall is still circulating in Boya. The old people's home is pronounced "East Yunnan" in Zhuang language, and "Yunnan" is a dry fence building with sacrificial nature. Shanzhai activities in major Zhuang villages are also held in Yunnan. Textual research on the History of Yunnan shows that "Yunnan" is a country worshipped by Gan Lan, and "Yunnan" is the product of the farming culture of settled ethnic groups. The appearance of the custom of duet between men and women should be related to the custom of settled nationalities. Dian was a slave country that lasted from the middle and late period of old China to the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. The emergence of Poya ballads is relatively late, which should be the product of the influence of Chinese culture on the entry of Zhuang areas into feudal society, and it has been continuously expanded into today's version.
The uniqueness of Poya songbook lies in recording songs with pictures. According to the document "Biography of Yao Zhuang", the Zhuang people have the custom of recording songs on the pole. "I occasionally use golden flowers as flowers and birds on the ground, and bathe with lacquer to avoid falling." This method of recording songs is similar to Poya songs. It can be inferred that the appearance of Poya ballad books is closely related to Zhuang customs and the activities of Longduan Street, which is the inevitable result of the development and change of Zhuang traditional customs in the historical process.
It is the rich folk song culture of Zhuang nationality, the custom of expressing ideas in Zhuang nationality's pictures and the concept of animism that makes Poya songs passed down from generation to generation. The rich material and intangible cultural heritage of ethnic minorities is an important part of Chinese cultural heritage. The sample of Poya song book studied in this paper is an ancient inheritance form of Wenshan Zhuang traditional folk songs and an important cultural heritage of Zhuang people. It was discovered in Poya Village, Funing County, Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province in 2006. This is a place where Zhuang people live in compact communities, and it is known as the "sea of songs". Wenshan Zhuang people were born in songs and died in songs. Rich cultural and ecological soil breeds rich folk song culture, and Boya ballad books are produced in such a social and cultural environment.
