A COMPARATIVE STUDY TO THE CULTURE OF MUSICALINSTRUMENT BETWEEN THE ZHUANG AND THE TAI

壮泰两民族的器乐文化非常丰富,乐器种类繁多。器乐文化的历史发展规律中,内涵从宗教典礼仪式向世俗化转变。两民族器乐文化相同点在于乐器的种类、型制与音乐的功用,相异之处是壮族器乐文化世俗化,而泰族器乐文化获得了浓重的印度佛教的色彩。壮泰器乐文化异同的原因在于种族的同源和后期分化。由于外来宗教信仰文化的影响,泰族发生宗教信仰上的本质性变化。由于泰族的器乐在宗教严谨性方面突出,以致在传统文化保护上更胜一筹,这对于壮族保护本民族的传统文化有着重要的启示。The culture of musical instrument of the Zhuang and the Tai is very rich that thereare many kinds of musical instruments among them. The content of this culture has changed fromritual to secularization in the course of historical development. The similarities of the two musicalinstrument cultures lies in the types of musical instruments, the system of type and the function ofmusic. The difference is that the Zhuang instrumental culture bears secularization, while the Tai in-strumental music shows a prominent feature of Indian Buddhism. The similarities and differences be-tween the Zhuang and the Tai instrumental music are due to their racial homology and subsequentdifferentiation. Tai people have undergone religious changes because of the influence of foreign reli-gious belief. As the instrumental music of the Tai is prominent in religious rigor, it is even betterin the protection of traditional culture, which has an important inspiration for the protection of tra-ditional culture of the Zhuang
