土家族民俗汉字文化精要

Chinese Character Culture in Tujia People′s Folk-Custom

虽有学者认为巴人有自己的文字,但学界总体却认为巴人及后来的土家族并没有独立的文字,起码是没有成体系的文字。实际上长期以来,土家族都习用汉字,故而其民俗中汉字文化底蕴深厚,是中华民俗文化中一朵永开不败的奇葩。

Some scholars insist that Ba people have their own characters, while many others in this field hold the view that Ba people and the following Tujia people did not have independent characters, or a system of characters. In fact, Tujia people have been using Chinese characters for a long time. The inside information of the Chinese character culture in their folk custom is profound and various enough to be an extraordinary part of Chinese culture of folk custom.
