中国侗族主要聚居在黔、湘、桂三省交界处的清水江和都柳江流域,而又以清水江流域的侗族为最多.明清以来的地方志对侗族生活习俗有较多描述.本文对清代几部重要的贵州地方志中所见部分侗语进行考释,以期对当下清水江文书研究提供一些少数民族语言学的背景材料,并为清水江学提供一些借鉴和启示作用.
In China, the Dong people inhabited mainly in the Qingshui River Basin and Duoliu River Basin intersected on the boundary of Guizhou, Hunan and Guangxi, with Qingshui River Basin holding more Dong people than the other areas. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasty, the local chronicles have recorded quite a few descriptions about Dong people's life and customs. The present paper examines and interprets some Dong language recorded in some important local histories about Guizhou in the Qing Dynasty, with the intention to provide some background knowledge about the ethnic minority languages for the study of Qingshuijiang Instruments, and provide some references and enlightenment for the study of Qingshuijiang.
