How to effectively realize the cultural dream of ancient Zhuang nationality _ My understanding and views

1. Farming is the root of Zhuang culture

As the most populous minority in China, the Zhuang nationality originated and developed in Lingnan area of China, and lived in the beautiful mountains and rivers in South China. As far as Greater Nanning is concerned, the root of Zhuang's farming culture lies in Daming Mountain and its surrounding hilly flat land, just in the fields along the Youjiang River and Yujiang River. Its development footprint is witnessed by unearthed cultural relics, drama performances, festivals, songs and fairs, language place names, classics and other diverse carriers. Stone shovel, an important cultural relic of agricultural origin, has been unearthed in many places in Nanning, which shows that the ancestors of Zhuang nationality lived in Nanning more than 6 years ago and agricultural activities appeared. Tung-Chuen Chan's original dance "Big Reward Thunder" in Xixiangtang, Nanning, reflects the whole process of spring ploughing, spring sowing and autumn harvest of farming rice. The "April 8th Farm Tools Festival" in Na Tong Town, Longan County, and the Haiwei Day in Nanwei County, which are rich in farming characteristics, are found in Wuming, Hengxian, Binyang, Yongning and other counties and villages, so I will not enumerate them here.

Second, being an official is an important feature of Zhuangxiang farming culture.

Zhuangxiang culture, like the Central Plains culture, belongs to farming culture. In the long history, they have infiltrated and merged with each other. The official reading of Zhuang nationality is an important feature of mutual infiltration and integration. There should be two levels of official reading in Zhuangxiang. The first level refers to reading for official purposes, that is to say, the peasant children in Zhuangxiang should study to improve their own status, take part in the imperial examination, and gain fame to be an official. The second level refers to the promotion of reading by officials, that is, the children who have obtained fame and rank after studying go back to their hometown to spread culture and promote the cultural development of Zhuangxiang.

according to the records of local historical records and other materials, the acceptance of the Central Plains culture by the children of Zhuang nationality is inseparable from the spread and exchange of officials who have been exiled to various places in the past dynasties. Since the Song Dynasty, the cultural celebrities who have had a great influence on Nanning counties include Qin Guan in the Song Dynasty, Wang Shouren in the Ming Dynasty and Dong Chuance. According to the records of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, in order to facilitate official reading, many academies were set up in various counties in Nanning, among which the famous ones are Fuwen Academy, Dongquan Academy, Dongkuo Academy, Xikuo Academy, Zhongkuo Academy, Sungong Lecture Academy, Wunan Academy, Xiuhe Academy, Huaihai Academy and Wuzhai Academy in Hengzhou, Tengjiao Academy, Datong Academy, Daguan Academy in Yongchun County and Pennsylvania. In addition, there are many Yi schools and private schools between villages. In addition to farming, many children of Zhuang nationality go to private schools, enter the palace, enter the academy and study hard. Since the Song Dynasty, there have been scholars and juren scholars in Nanning Zhuang Township. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there were 25 scholars and more than 5 scholars in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and there were even more juren scholars. For example, Geyang Village in Wuyuan County had only more than 1, people at that time, but during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the village was admitted to the examination with 1 Jinshi, 13 juren and 33 tribute students. People call it "Wuyuan Gong sixty, Geyang half thirty". These children of Zhuang nationality who gained fame by taking part in the imperial examination, such as Xiao Yunju, Liu Dingcuo and Zhang Peng Exhibition, went back to their hometown to give lectures and run schools after being an official abroad, enlightening a generation of people's wisdom.

after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the education in Zhuangxiang has flourished, and the popularization of compulsory education has achieved remarkable results. Groups of sons and daughters of Zhuang nationality went to colleges and universities to study, which became the pillars of socialist construction. At that time, the agricultural official reading was beyond my reach. However, the traces left by the ancestors of Zhuangxiang's farming career will always be meaningful in people's hearts.

Third, the cultural characteristics of official farming in Zhuang township

(1) Promoting filial piety. The environment for the survival and development of Zhuang nationality in Nanning and the unearthed cultural relics show that farming culture is the most basic cultural feature. From the track and reality of social, historical and cultural development, filial piety is the core of farming culture. Recently, according to the scriptures collected by Tianwang Temple in Buquan Township, Longan County, compiled by Nanning Folk Writers Association, filial piety is one of the most important contents. The story of special excavation, which is widely circulated around Daming Mountain, is a reflection of Zhuang nationality's filial piety psychology.

(2) Honesty and trustworthiness. Honesty is an important feature of Zhuang nationality, and it is also one of the five permanents of Confucianism. The Zhuang people think that what is connected with heaven is to be loyal and honest, that is, to be loyal to things as they are, not to hide their true thoughts, not to hide their true feelings, not to lie, not to cheat others. Keeping promises means keeping promises, stressing credibility, keeping promises, being faithful to one's own obligations, and promising others to do things. It is the professional quality that every modern citizen should have to faithfully fulfill his obligations. Since ancient times, Nanning Zhuang Township has regarded it as the basic code of conduct for people.

(3) Equality and harmony. The history and culture of Zhuangxiang are closely related to the long-term farming activities. In the farming activities, women have always played an important role, and even many farmers, women still play a leading role, plowing, sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn, and they hold up most of the sky. Therefore, the status of women in Zhuang township is relatively high. At the same time, Zhuang people live in harmony, and between neighbors and villages, everyone values friendship and rarely cares about it.

(4) do good deeds and accumulate virtue. There is a saying in the Zhuang scripture: "accumulate virtue and children and grandchildren, and build a successful family, saving money." So as not to owe people debts. " The simplicity of Zhuang nationality is really shocking. In addition to the countryside, citizens in Nanning city also do more good deeds. For example, the good atmosphere of mutual help among neighbors in Wangzhounan community has also touched Nanning, Guangxi and the whole country, thus forming the Nanning spirit of "helping if you can", which is also the inheritance and promotion of this fine tradition.

(5) repay kindness. This meaning is already in the promotion of filial piety. However, the cultural heritage of gratitude in Zhuangxiang and Nanning is deeper. The story of special excavation is also a deified feeling of gratitude and gratitude.

(6) fallen leaves return to their roots. The farming activities in Zhuang township have a deeper land complex, and it is precisely because the farming people rely heavily on the land that they decide the extremely stable settlement. Land is the lifeblood of farming people, and farmers regard land as a part of life.

Fourth, the characteristic cultural heritage of Zhuangxiang should be fully protected and utilized.

Zhuangxiang's long-standing agricultural official reading activities have left many unique cultural heritages, both physical and intangible. In recent years, governments at all levels have paid attention to them and adopted many protection and development measures. However, from a practical point of view, due to cognitive or material reasons, most of them are windy and rainy, and this work has a long way to go. In my opinion, in order to do a good job in the protection and utilization of Zhuangxiang's characteristic cultural heritage, it is necessary to carry out protective rescue on the existing key heritage, which is not only the intention of building Nanning into a famous historical and cultural city at present, but also a valuable wealth for future generations.

First, the Neolithic shovels and other cultural relics unearthed in various counties and districts will be displayed in a centralized way, and municipal museums will be set up when conditions are ripe. For the unearthed sites of cultural relics, select several representative places with convenient transportation to focus on protection and show them to the world through pictures, texts, audio and video.

the second is to build an influential ancient academy. For example, Huaihai Academy in memory of Qin Guan, Haitang Pavilion and Fucha Pavilion were rebuilt. In memory of Yangming Academy and Fuwen Academy in Wang Shouren.

The third is to protect and restore the Sienfu Examination Institute located in Binyang County. Sienfu Examination Institute, located in Binyang Vocational and Technical School, is a relatively well-preserved modern science examination institute. At its peak, the Sienfu Examination Institute had 2,4 "examination sheds" with closed examination rooms. Such a large-scale and well-preserved examination institute is rare in Guangxi and even in Jiangnan provinces.

the fourth is to restore famous historical and cultural villages and streets. In the official reading of Zhuang township in ancient Nanning, Geyang Village, Taiping Town, Wuming County was the most typical one. During the years of Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong and Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty, the reading style of villagers was very strong. Geyang Village has left many cultural relics such as Wenchang Pavilion, the ancient stage of the Oracle Pavilion, and the "Taishidi" plaque because of the talented people in the Qing Dynasty.

the fifth is to protect the ancient temples and pagodas with Zhuang nationality characteristics. The ancient temple is located in Zhuangxiang, Nanning. There are no typical Buddhist temples, but only temples built spontaneously by folk beliefs and dedicated to worship, among which the representative ones are Wusheng Palace, Fubo Temple, Sanxiang Temple, Si Liu Temple and Tianwang Temple. There are Dragon Elephant Tower, Dew Tower, Return Tower, Xiufeng Tower, Wenjiang Tower and Bangshan Pagoda in the ancient pagoda.

VI. Intangible cultural heritage, such as drama, folk songs, folk songs, scriptures, ancient books of Zhuang medicine, folk stories and legends, fairs and festivals related to farming, etc. This has been stated in the first part and will not be repeated.

V. Suggestions on carrying forward the historical and cultural characteristics of Nanning

The farming culture of Zhuangxiang is of the same origin as the farming civilization of the Central Plains, and has accumulated rich connotations in the long-term historical process. In order to strengthen the protection, excavation, development and utilization of this national historical and cultural resource, the suggestions are as follows:

First, renew the concept and realize that the national historical and cultural heritage is wealth rather than a burden. The grim fact now is that many historical and cultural heritages in Zhuang township are on the verge of being sold out. Of course, there are also dynamic factors of social development, but more protection measures can't keep up. Protection measures can't keep up, which is related to the institutional reasons, our understanding of the value of cultural sites, our limited protection ideas and vision, and our failure to integrate resources and make them play their due role. To protect, exploit and utilize the precious historical and cultural resources of Zhuang township, we must broaden our thinking and make more efforts in development and utilization, so as to promote protection and excavation through development and utilization.

second, integrate resources. Nanning has unique historical and cultural characteristics, which is the characteristic cultural crystallization of Zhuangxiang's farming and official reading. As long as we integrate resources, form a Zhuang ethnic historical and cultural circle and restore key cultural relics, its value is immeasurable. Moving and quiet, singing and dancing, eating and playing will definitely attract the attention of the world and attract visitors from all directions, and the national history and culture of Zhuangxiang will be further prosperous.

Third, casting the soul of Nanning's historical and cultural characteristics. The soul of Nanning's history and culture is the cultural crystallization of Zhuangxiang's farming official reading-filial piety and honesty. It should be built as a cultural brand in Nanning. By creating public opinion momentum, enriching connotation, refining objectives, mobilizing all staff, demonstrating first, promoting good and restraining evil, commending and promoting, and persevering, it will eventually become a common practice.

fourth, make a good plan and coordinate development. Combined with the development of tourism, combined with the creation of civilized cities and other activities.

protecting, exploiting and utilizing the historical and cultural resources of Zhuang nationality, casting the soul of Nanning's historical and characteristic culture, and building Nanning into a famous historical and cultural city will benefit the present and the future. We should also shoulder this historical responsibility.
