Abstract

In April 1986, a team of Chinese and Finnish folklorists conducted a ten-day survey of the Dong in the Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County of Guangxi. These participants--Jia Zhi, Lauri Honko, and others--developed a strong interest in the kuant cix, an ancient oral poem whose form and content embody features of Dong social structure, folk music, folk beliefs, and codes of conduct. This paper addresses five aspects of the kuant cix: origin, form, content, literary characteristics, and channels of transmission.
