	Zhuang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Zhuang are of Tai origin, a people who migrated south from central China roughly 5000 years ago, as did the Malays.
		The Nan Han rule of the Zhuang was marked by minimal interference in Zhuang affairs by the Chinese rulers.
		The Song developed a new way of dealing with the Zhuang that was a combination of force and appeasement, a policy that neither satisfied the aspirations of the Zhuang nor ended the savage warfare brought to the region by the Yao against the Chinese.

	Zhuang language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zhuang, which belongs to the Tai language group, is an official language in that region.
		However, use of the language is rapidly declining as the Zhuang assimilate to the Han Chinese.
		Zhuang had been written with ideographs that were borrowed from Han characters adopted to this language, and original characters made out by using the similar manner of construction, for more than a thousand years, similar to Vietnamese Chu Nom.

		The Zhuang had apparently tested the limits of their powers in the Song era with the rising of Nong Zhigao and were willing to live within the administrative purview of the Chinese central government, providing that it was sufficiently loose to permit the clan heads to continue their local control.
		The Zhuang are widely distributed throughout today's Guangxi, the Yao in isolated enclaves every where save the southeast, with a primary concentration in the northwest and secondarily in the northeast.
		Zhuang, armed and trained by Han governments, would still be attractive as soldiers, but when operating on their own were increasingly reduced to the status of partisans.

		In "Ten Years", Zhuang's artistic focus remains steadfastly on the everyday, even the touristic, and especially on the banal and commonplace in the people and places he encounters.
		It is reassuring and even revelatory to know that in the many years Zhuang worked shooting his panoramic fl and white group portraits of workers at danwei's (state work units) across China, he was also shooting the local environs in brilliant color.
		Zhuang's anti-art style may well be the best approach to finding one's own identity within the act of observing and photographing others.

	Zhuang Introduction
		If we also accept that they can be regarded as one people with the Zhuang, as many agree, then it is probable that this ethnic group is, after the Kurds, the largest of the world's peoples who are not currently organized into their own national state.
		The question, then, of when precisely it is permissible to refer to a Zhuang people is a complex one which easily leads to many confusing qualifications as one tries to follow the evolution of the ethnic group over a long period.
		I do believe, however, that there is a sort of mainstream of Zhuang evolution, and that stream arises in the neolithic and flows to the present, though with many branches, channels, and rivulets which eventually dry in the heat of the Han intrusion into the area.

		He asked that the Zhuang Tubing be recognized for their service outside the province by a temporary abrogation of taxes, and that each household in Guangxi be granted an exemption from service for one or two men so that the farming labor could be done.

		Zhuang literature as such was basically not collected until after 1949 when the Chinese government began to encourage a greater understanding of local folk traditions, and then most of the material collected was via oral transmissions.

		Zhuang Zi and his carving of the Confucian ox.
		In particular, Kong Zi's conception of self-cultivation expressed through the image of 'musical perfection' suggests a spontaneity that is similar to the notion of freedom pointed to by Zhuang Zi, as, for example, in his story of Butcher Ding.
		However, the Confucian ideal of freedom is based on the internalization of standards and constraints, whereas Zhuang Zi's notion of freedom involves wandering between constraints out of an awareness of the relativity of all standards.
