壮族天琴源流探微——壮族天琴文化研究之二

Origins of Zhuang's Tianqin Plucked Instrument——Part Ⅱ of studies on the Zhuang's culture of Tianqin plucked instrument

通过对文献和田野调查资料的分析,初步认为:壮族天琴发源于广西龙州县金龙镇(古为金龙峒),源自当地原住民族壮族布傣族群在祭祀活动中使用的礼器或法器"叮鼎",其早期历史可以追溯到距今两千多年以前的战国至汉代的骆越人。宋至清代流传至凭祥、宁明、防城等地,中法战争后流传到与广西相邻的越南地区。

Based on the analysis upon documents and data of fieldwork, Tianqin plucked instrument is considered originated in Jinlong Town of Longzhou County, as a ritual artifact or device used in sacred ceremony by indigenous people--the Budai ethnic branch of the Zhuang Nationality. Tianqin pluckecl instru- ment has been passed down over 2000 years of old, which had spread to Pingxiang, Ningming and Fangcheng Counties from the Song Dynasty to the 19th Century, and spread to the Vietnam after the War between China and France.
