The diamond-shaped character of Zhuang nationality is a kind of breeding characters imitating from Chinese characters, so getting the same formation as it, and could be analyzed on Six Books and its series theories. Meanwhiles, it is a kind of minority character, reflecting the Zhuang's unique word-formation thought.The paper aiming to study the type of zhuang's diamond-shaped character, whose characteristic of form and structure, and the word's origin, the expression functions , their combination way and so on, to find the effect in it; making the book 'the dictionary of zhuang's ancient words' as object, giving its words a cosmically and systemic research; according to contrast to the passed harvests on this field, we absorb the pith of Six Books and its its series theories, to know the single word's function nature is to expressing meaning, sound ,or just to marking; base on the combination form of word's nature to divide word's type, funding a frame clsss on Six Books. According the different origin way, we can have two kinds of Zhuang's words, the borrowed-origin words and self-made words. According to the corresponding relations of the word's shape, sound and meaning, we can divide the borrowed-origin words into four kinds, the whole-borrowed kind, the sound-borrowed kind, the meaning borrowed kind, and the shape only borrowed kind; baseing on the words nature and the relationship of their combination , the self-made words can be divided into six types, the hieroglyph characters, the self-explanatory characters, the associative meaning characters, the phonogram characters, the phonogram characters, the token characters and so on.
