Poya folk songs, a treasure of Funing Zhuang culture, are located in Boai Town in the northeast of Funing County. There is a beautiful Zhuang village called Poya in a remote corner. There are 55 households and 278 people in the village, all of whom are Zhuang people. Poya is a place name full of poetic and picturesque Zhuang language, which means "a place with blooming mountain flowers" ("po" means hillside, and "ya" means poplar flowers in Zhuang language). It is located in the Boai scenic area and has beautiful natural scenery. The buildings are all stilt-style, and the walls of the houses are made of light yellow clay. Green bamboo, banana and vegetable plots are scattered in front of and behind the houses. Poya Village is a beautiful and quiet village with beautiful mountains and clear waters and a mild climate. Due to its special geographical location and historical reasons, it has been in a relatively closed state in the past, thus preserving a very rich and complete traditional Zhuang ethnic culture and customs. The culture of the singing festival is everlasting here. There are more than 20 kinds of Zhuang folk songs that have been passed down from generation to generation. Similar folk song cultural phenomena are rare even in Guangxi, where the Zhuang people live. Poya Village deep in the mountains is one of the best. It exudes the glory of ancient civilization. It is a typical original Zhuang village and one of the villages affected by the Baise Water Conservancy Project. The village was built in the early Qing Dynasty. Generations have made a living by growing rice and hunting. It is less affected by the outside culture, the folk customs are simple, and the traditional customs of the Zhuang people are preserved. The ancestors of the Zhuang people were the earliest developers of this land. This is also one of the earliest areas where the Zhuang people nurtured rice culture. Long-term rice farming has honed the gentle, introverted, honest, hardworking, brave, tenacious, united and creative national character of the Zhuang people here, and has therefore created a rich and colorful national culture. In February 2006, it was discovered in Poya Village that a piece of white cloth about one foot wide and more than two feet long was treasured in the home of villager Nong Fengmei. On it were painted 81 symbols of objects such as the moon, stars, trees, rice leaves, plows, axes, birds, horses, people, clothes, and bird cages. They were passed down from generation to generation. Each symbol was about one inch in size and was painted with the juice of cactus. After verification by experts, these 81 patterns have the nature of words, with fixed shapes, fixed sounds (but this sound is not a word sound, but all the syllables of a song), fixed meanings, and rich connotations. Each pattern represents a love song. The entire song collection records the emotional journey of a young man and woman from meeting by chance to acquaintance, mutual admiration to love, knowing each other, and finally agreeing to grow old together and vow to live together in life and death. Although the Poya Song Book discovered so far has only 81 symbols, it is unique in the jungle of world characters. The Poya Song Book of the Zhuang Nationality of Funing, China is a splendid and wonderful flower in the Chinese folk culture, a national cultural treasure left by the ancestors of the Zhuang people to their descendants, a precious national cultural resource in the national cultural heritage of Yunnan Province that can shine with the Dongba culture, and one of the living pictographic characters in my country. Its discovery will fill the gap that the Zhuang people do not have ancient characters.
