嘹歌是流传于广西百色等地区的民歌,《贼歌》是其中著名的一首。一般来说,民歌的创作具有集体性,即具有由少到多、由简单到复杂的传承演变过程。《贼歌》也一直被习惯性地认为是在口头传承中慢慢丰富起来的民间口头文学。然而,田野调查得来的种种信息显示,《贼歌》很可能是一部由民间艺人一次性创作完成的作品,在其后的流传中基本保持了它问世时的面貌。这种非常态的民间口头文学形成与传承,与古壮文的运用不无关系。 Acura is a folk song spread in areas such as Baise in Guangxi, “Thieves” is one of the famous song. In general, the creation of folk songs is collective, that is, from less to more, from simple to complex evolution of the transmission process. “Thieves Song” has also been habitually regarded as folk oral literature slowly enriched in oral tradition. However, all kinds of information obtained from the field investigation show that the “thieves song” is likely to be a one-time creation by folk artistes, which has basically maintained its appearance when it came out. The formation and inheritance of such abnormal folk oral literature are not unrelated to the use of ancient Zhuang language.
