This thesis is one of the subtitles of the national social science "the Ninth- Five-Year Plan" task "Study on Traditional Culture of Guangxi's Various Nationalities and Contemporary Nationality Development" which is taken charge of my tutor,Professor Qian Zongfan. As the nationality with the largest population in Guangxi,the traditional culture of Han Nationality is abundant in connotation,many and various in extraordinary splendour and greatly different among regions. After liberation the nationality research of Guangxi was centralized among minority nationalities such as Zhuang ,Yao and Miao nationality,etc. And government organs haven't organized any systematic,overall investigation and analysis,sorting and publishing work about the historical and cultural materials of the whole Guangxi's Han Nationality. Thus,the above conditions brought about considerable difficulty toward the completion of this task. Under the utmost instruction of my tutor,after two years' repeated investigation,sorting out and study,learning from experts and scholars in Guilin,Nanning in many aspects,through much hardship,I finally completed this thesis in the hope of devoting a little to filling in the blank space in our country's nationality study,t present Guangxi has been listed among the twelve provinces and areas of western exploitation. The study on the applying and exploitation of Guangxi Han Nationality's culture is of important,realistic meaning for the exploitation and construction of present western national areas.According to Marxist-Leninist basic theories that the building of socialist new culture can't be separated from the critical inheritance of national traditional culture,adopting the method of widespread comparison and comprehensive analysis,this thesis conducted analysis and study to historical documents and investigation materials of Guangxi's Han Nationality.

It is these three characters that decide and affect the basic appearance of Guangxi Han Nationality's traditional culture.On the basis of the preliminary exploration into the historical development of Guangxi HanNationality and the basic characters of its traditional culture,by means of such study methods as investigation,collecting material and analysis,the parts from the second to the sixth of this thesis made observation and study of eight aspects of Han Nationality's traditional culture,which most possess national characters,summed up corresponding regular characters,and put forward the ways to transform,make use of and exploit them at contemporary times.The livelihood culture of the second part belongs to the level of material culture,and it includes three aspects,namely clothing,diet and residence. This paper draws a conclusion that material culture is developed with producted by farming life,immigrating history,natural environ...
