数字化视域下水族文字活态传承的路径探索——以贵州三都水族自治县为例

摘要

水族文字作为我国少数民族文字的重要组成部分，承载着水族悠久的历史文化与民族记忆，是推动文化多样性发展的关键所在。然而，在全球化与现代化进程的冲击下，水族文字的传承面临着使用场景萎缩、传承主体断层、传播渠道有限等多重挑战，且传统传承模式已难以适应新时代需求。本次研究主要以水族文字活态传承为研究核心，通过对水族聚居地的实地调研与文献梳理，整理分析水族文字的使用现状，聚焦数字化技术对水族文字活态传承提出新的路径，为其他少数民族文字的数字化保护与传承提供参考借鉴。

Abstract

As an important part of China’s ethnic minority characters, Shui characters carry the long history, culture and national memory of the Shui people, and are crucial to promoting the development of cultural diversity. However, under the impact of globalization and modernization, the inheritance of Shui characters is confronted with multiple challenges such as the shrinking of usage scenarios, the gap in inheritors, and limited communication channels. Moreover, the traditional inheritance model can hardly meet the needs of the new era. This study focuses on the living inheritance of Shui characters. Through field investigations in Shui-inhabited areas and literature review, it sorts out and analyzes the current usage status of Shui characters, and proposes new paths for the living inheritance of Shui characters by virtue of digital technology, so as to provide references for the digital protection and inheritance of other ethnic minority characters.
