《苗族古歌》与《苗族古老话》传递出原始稻作生计得以形成的重要信息,同时也记录了苗族与古越族互为亲缘氏族的事实。结合城头山稻作遗址的考古成果,本文认为移栽野生稻是稻作生计形成的初始契机,而其根本原因则是稻作联邦的形成以及在此过程中氏族间的交流与迁徙。
Hmong Ancient Ballads and Hmong Ancient Records give us not only valuable information about the early rice-cultivating livelihood but also interesting facts about the relations between the Hmong group and the Yue group. Connecting these with the archaeological discoveries of Chengtoushan remains, this researcher postulates that transplanting Oryzarufipogon offered an initial opportunity to create the ricecultivating livelihood. Other very important reasons for the early rice cultivation success were the formation of the Rice State Federation, and the exchanges and relocation within that federation.
