汉语支瑶族的分布及族源初探

AN INITIAL EXPLORATION OF THE DISTRIBUTION AND ORIGIN OF THE CHINESE-BRANCH YAO NATIONALITY

以平地瑶、民瑶为主的汉语支瑶族主要聚居在南岭山系的越城岭、萌渚岭山脉的丘陵地带 ,与主要聚居在高山地区的过山瑶、聚居在平原谷地的汉族共同构成了层次分明、特色显著的族群分布格局。汉语支瑶族的姓氏构成具有明显的多元化特点 ,其族源主流应是逐步汉化的盘瑶 ,但也包括了汉族、壮族等其他民族的成分。

The Chinese-branch Yao Nationality was formed mainly by the Pingdi Yao and the Min Yao.The Pingdi Yao and the Min Yao mainly inhabit the hilly land of the Yuecheng Hills and the Mengzhu Hills of the Nanling Ranges, whereas the Guoshan Yao mainly inhabit the mountain areas and the Han the plains and river valleys. All this forms a very distinctive map of distribution of nationalities. The family names of the Pingdi Yao and the Min Yao have a distinctive feature of multiplicity. These two ethnic minorities mainly originated from the Pan Yao that was gradually assimilated by the Han, but their origin also includes some elements of the Han and the Zhuang nationality.
