壮族坡芽歌书与八宝歌书比较研究

A Comparative Study of Zhuang Song Scripts between Poya and Babao

坡芽歌书和新发现的八宝歌书都是记录壮族民歌的图符,两者在图符构造、图符记录的民歌等方面同中有异。八宝歌书歌符数量、内容远比坡芽歌书丰富,两地歌书流传范围可连成一片,属同一个体系书写符号——"坡芽-八宝歌书",是一种经过规范、有较广泛社会认知、历史较久的刻写符号,生动形象,以提示的手段,记述了内容丰富的壮族民歌。

The Poya song scripts and the newly-found Babao song scripts are all pictorial symbols for documenting the folk songs of Zhuang ethnic group. Both of them share similarities as well as differences in pictorial symbol structure, and the folk songs documented in the pictorial symbols etc. In terms of symbol quantity and content, the Babao songbooks are far richer than the Poya song scripts. The contiguous spreading areas of these song scripts may form an identical system of written symbols： the Poya-Babao song scripts, which are scratch-mark symbols that have undergone normalization, a relatively popular social cognition and long history. Thus, by taking this hinting method, the abundant Zhuang folk songs can be vividly narrated.
