布洛陀是壮族先民口头文学中的神话人物,是创世神、始祖神和道德神。《布洛陀》是壮族的长篇诗体创世神话,主要记述布洛陀开天辟地、创造人类的丰功伟绩,自古以来以口头方式在广西壮族自治区田阳县一带传承。大约从明代起,在口头传唱的同时,也以古壮字书写的形式保存下来,其中有一部分变成壮族民间麽教的经文。
In the dictation literature of ancestors of Zhuang Ethnicity, Buluotuo is a mythic figure, god of creation, forefather, and god of morality. The story of Buluotuo is a long, poetic myth of creation of the Zhuang Ethnicity. Its main narration is about the remarkable achievements of Buluotuo: genesis and the creation of man. Since ancient times, it has been circulating in the area of Tianyang County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region by mouth. Roughly, during the Ming Dynasty, while spreading by mouth, the story was somehow recorded in old language of Zhuang Ethnicity, and a part of it later turned into the scripture of the folk Mo Religion of the Zhuang Ethnicity.
《布洛陀》的内容包括布洛陀创造天地、造人、造万物、造土皇帝、造文字历书和造伦理道德六个方面,反映了人类从茹毛饮血的蒙昧时代走向农耕时代的历史,以及壮族先民氏族部落社会的情况,在历史学、文学、宗教学、古文字学、音韵学和音乐学研究等方面有一定的学术价值。
The myth of Butuoluo falls into six parts: genesis, the creation of man, creation of all things, creation of the earthly emperor, creation of characters and calendar, and creation of ethics and morality. It reflects the history of transition of mankind from the primitive, uncivilized age to the farming era as well as life of ancient tribes of the Zhuang ancestors. So it is of great academic value concerning studies on history, literature, religion, etymology, phonology, music.
布洛陀口传诗体创世神话在内容上具有原生性特点,在漫长的口头传承过程中,经过一代代的不断加工和锤炼,艺术性也得到了完善和提高。它不仅可以帮助人们认识历史、满足人们的生活需求,还具有教化的作用。
The poetic dictation myth of creation Buluotuo is of a primitive nature. In the long-lasting process of circulation by mouth, the story was enhanced in terms of artistic taste thanks to generation after generation of polishing and enrichment. It can not only help understand history and meet the needs of life of people, but also serve the edifying purposes.
由于历史及其他各种原因,今天《布洛陀》已面临失传的危机,需要采取普查、建档、研究、出版等手段,并通过建立布洛陀文化生态保护村、唱诵队、传习馆以及在相关学校开办传习班等方式加以保护,使其能在现代化社会条件下继续得到传承。
Due to historical and other reasons, today Buluotuo is facing the crisis of dying out. Measures like survey, filing, research and publishing and other forms of preservation such as village of cultural ecology preservation, chorus, training center, and training program at schools are all needed for the salvation of it, so as to ensure its survival and heritance under the modernized social conditions.
