E-Cassirer pointed out "the human being was a variety of animal symbolicum; the man created the symbol and meanwhile created the human being himself by means of the symbol"’:he indicated the relation between the man and the symbol. However, his argument has not been validated farther by specific cases. PoYa’"songs book" symbol as an object created and used by the Zhuang people、whether or not test the relation between the man and the symbol, and it is reasonable or not to test the relation. If PoYa "songs book" symbol as an case is advisable and can verify the thesis、next how to implement concretely in verifing and analysing. Based on these problems and then the pursuit of the solution to the reality, combined with the fact that PoYa "songs book" symbol as the result of creative activity, the symbol creation impels the Zhuang people to participate in and develop with and their empirical world, the empirical world objectified gradually is possible. And PoYa "songs book" symbol is an absolutely vivid template of the operation between the man and the symbol, it fulfils the theory basis "the man created the symbol and meanwhile created the human being himself by means of the symbol". Meanwhile, the symbol inheritance after creation constitutes and demonstrates, on the other hand, the relation between the man and the symbol; the activities of PoYa "songs book" symbol creation and inheritance are provided with significant theoretical value through seeing through the relation between the man and the symbol comprehensively, and it is also a typical case to appear the operating process between the man and the symbol. The man’s self-conscious and active symbolic activities implementing, these activities will have a significant impact to to the people themselves in return. Moreover, the teaching and learning carrying out during its spreading and inheriting process, educational behaviors get under way, and the relation between the symbol and the Education is built, promoting the symbol-the man-Education interaction. However, its survival and development of this cultural existence, confronted with rapid development and a huge shock in modern society, faces enormous challenges. Consequently, we are supposed to the cognition of PoYa "songs book" symbol such as "songs book" survival environment, symbol structure and function, the state of "songs book" symbol creation and inheritance in order to verification the relation between the man and the symbol and consideration and suggestion to the modern survival and development of PoYa "songs book" symbol. These problems are made up of the analytical framework of this study and also sorely needed to solve.In view of the questions above, this essay, based on the perspective of educational anthropology, abides by description-explanation research paradigm and adopts a combination of literature research, depth interview and participant observation to interpret and analyse the symbolic activities including symbol creation and inheritance Zhuang people are involved in. By this study, we can find that:firstly, PoYa "songs book" symbols, as the product and existent of the Zhuang heaven and earth system, constitute a complete system which is made up of "object"; the symbol form refered to,"representamen"; the things from Zhuang people’s daily production and living symbolized, and "intepretant"; the man interpreted. The creation of Zhuang people--PoYa "songs book" symbols make up the singular and composite structure and present concordance, modest and imaginal aesthetic features. Secondly, PoYa "songs book" symbols are not the environment and are created by Zhuang people. The creation of symbols is an integrated process of observing things, obtaining image and structuring shape and is the result of complying with the world, classifying things, and configurating by Zhuang people. Meanwhile, the creation of symbols is the condensation of experience and wisdom and the development of Zhuang people’s free and self-conscious activities,which is characteristic of originality and nutriment, promoting their acquisition of "local knowledge"and progress of intelligence factors. Thirdly, PoYa "songs book" symbols are exercised in production and life after symbols generated, achieving the function of symbols. In the specific situation, the symbols are imparted to group members by through the combination of the object, the symbol and the sound, realizing "intepretant" diffusion and furthering the achievement of individual socialization and symbolic thinking and behavior. Furthermore, a series of educational activities are to take place owing to the relationship between the creator-teacher and receiver-students along with the inheritance of symbols, influencing on group members. Fourthly,"songs book" symbol creation and inheritance fully present the operation between the man and the symbol, promoting the individual all-round development. In addition,"songs book" symbol, especially symbol creation and inheritance, is an essential channel to motivate the generation and development of free, initiative creation nature.In addition, this study also probes into the issue of PoYa "songs book" symbols, a variety of unique cultural matter, survival and development. Although the exact time of the emergence of PoYa "songs book" has not been known, it is an vivid example of creating and applying symbol to fulfil the interaction among symbol, the man and Education and to exert an influence on individual development. Nevertheless, PoYa "songs book" with unique culture features which is created by Zhuang people faces many challenges along with multimedia means flooded with. In this extent, the modern inheritance of focusing on the form instead of the content, passive intervene and lack of spontaneous consciousness is ineffective, PoYa "songs book" is confronted with failure to inherit, and the implement of Education effect from the symbols is impossible. Nevertheless, the specificality and unitarity of PoYa "songs book" symbols’creation and inheritance is the key to keep its alive; the creation of PoYa "songs book" symbols is rooted in the relation and interaction between Zhuang people and all things in the natural world, forming a concept of human-the outside world harmony. The integration of creation with inheritance enables the all-around cultivation to come true, achieving an unity of the "object", the "representamen" and the "intepretant". The spread of PoYa "songs book" symbols’creation and inheritance promotes the transformation from "nature phenomena" to "human principles", impelling symbolic thinking and conduct attainable and influencing on personal development. Consequently, it is particularly urgent to taken measures to save and protect PoYa "songs book" symbols, based on the cognition of "songs book" symbols’creation and inheritance. In addition, it is indispensable for Zhuang people-cultural holder to enhance their ability of self-determination so as to favourable inheritance and development of "songs book" symbols.
