THE HAIR CUT AND THE BODY TATOOED:The Yue Culture and the Han Culture Belong to Different Types of Culture

越文化与汉文化相异,古往今来人们除知道越人断发纹身外,所知甚少。本文综合古今有关记载及各学科的材料分三题给予论述,既较深层次地剖解越文化,明确其与汉文化属不同类型的文化,又历述了壮泰群体先人越人的历史发展及其文化对后人的影响,既有文献记载立桩,又有考古学、语言学的材料佐证。

The Yue culture and the Han culture are different. Except for the custom of ＇the hair cut and the body tattooed＇ , little is known about the Yue culture since the remote past. This paper synthesizes relevant records and data from relevant disciplines and illustrates this from three aspects. It dissects the Yue culture deeply and makes it clear that it belongs to a culture different from that of the Han. Moreover, it demonstrates the historical development of the Yue, the ancestor of the Zhuang - Thai ethnic groups and the influences of its culture on their descendants. There are historical records, and evidences from archaeology and linguistics as well.
