Collection, Preservation, and Study of Mo Jing, the Traditional Scriptures of the Buyi Ethnic Minority, in Guizhou Province, China

在本研究中，我们在贵阳市附近以及中华人民共和国中国的贵州省贞丰、望磨、迁西、策衡、平坝、镇宁等县进行了调查。我们收集或拍摄了几十种类型的墨经(布依族传统经文)，调查了现存的墨经数量，以及管理墨经的布摩(祭司)数量，以及他们在每个村庄的血统，并创建了一个数据库，其中包括每部经文的类型、使用它的村庄(或氏族)的名称、收藏日期和状况等。我们还对目前收集到的经文进行了整理、分类和比较，同时对它们进行了破译、分析和翻译。此外，我们还提出了保存和利用这些布依族传统文献的方法。

For this study, we conducted research in the vicinity of Guiyang City as well as in the counties of Zhenfeng, Wangmo, Qianxi, Ceheng, Pingba, and Zhenning in Guizhou province, in the People's Republic of China. We collected or photographed several dozen types of Mo Jing(traditional scriptures of the Buyi ethnic minority), looked into the number of Mo Jing still in existence, as well as the number of Bumo(priests) who kept Mo Jing in their charge, and their lineage in each village, and created a database of the type of each scripture, the name of the village(or the clan) in which it was used, the date of its collection, its condition, and so forth. We also organized, classified, and compared the scriptures thus far collected, while at the same time deciphering, analyzing, and translating them into Chinese. In addition, we proposed methods of preserving and utilizing these traditional documents of the Buyi ethnic group.
