Этническая группа тай является одним из 55 меньшинств в Китае; несколько его ветвей находятся в разных районах, но в основном в провинции Юннань. Согласно историческим документам, группы тайцев развивались в течение сотен лет отдельно и, как следствие, есть четыре группы тайских диалекта: Сипсонг Панна (Сишуанбанна), Дайконг (Дэхонг), Хонг-Джин и Джинпин. Большинство из них приняли тхеравадский буддизм из Таиланда или Бирмы до 14 в., сохранив при этом примитивную веру. Однако некоторые тайские группы все время придерживались только примитивной веры без какого-либо влияния буддизма. В результате этнические тайцы Китая практикуют своего рода дуалистические верования, и эта система влияет на способ обозначения и наследования тайских эпосов.</p><p>Эта статья основана на данных проекта «Исследование происхождения тайского эпоса», финансируемого Фондом молодых ученых Китайской академии общественных наук (CASS). В исследовании использовался теоретический материал в основном китайских исследователей. Посредством изучения литературы и в результате нескольких полевых экспедиций в тайские деревни на юго-западе Китая, автор обнаружил, что существуют тайские эпические стили как в устной традиции, так и в письменной рукописи. Хотя существуют разные формы эпосов в разных тайских ветвях, будь то устные песни или письменные тексты, все тайские поэзии имеют одно и то же правило рифмы. С одной стороны, самый популярный ритм – рифма «хвост-талия», которая действует как цепочка колец; с другой стороны, рифма в устной традиции более выдающаяся и красивая, чем в письменных текстах.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>This article introduces the Tai ethnic group in China, and then discusses the Tai epic in the context of dualistic beliefs. The Tai ethnic group is one of 55 minorities in China; its several branches reside in different areas, but mainly in Yunnan Province. According to historical documents, Tai groups have been developing for hundreds of years separately and as a result, there are four Tai dialect areas: the Sipsong Panna (Xishuangbanna) Tai dialect groups, the Daikong (Dehong) Tai dialect groups, the Hong-Jin Tai dialect groups, and Jinping Tai dialect groups. Most of them have adopted Theravada Buddhism from Thailand or Burma before the 14th century while maintaining primitive belief. However, some Tai groups kept only primitive belief without any influence of Buddhism all the time. As a result, Tai people practice a kind of dualistic beliefs, and this system influences the connotation and inheritance mode of Tai epics.</p><p>This article is based on the data of “Tai Origin Epic Study” project funded by the Young Scholars Funding of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS). The study used theoretical material mainly from Chinese researchers. Through literature study and several field expeditions in Tai villages Southwestern China, the author found that there are dualistic styles of Tai epic, existing both as oral tradition and as written manuscript. Although there are various forms of epics in different Tai branches and whether are oral songs or written texts, all Tai poetries share the same rhyme rule. For one thing, the most popular rhythm is the Tail-Waist rhyme which functions just like a chain of rings; for another thing, the rhyme in oral tradition is more outstanding and beautiful than in written texts.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Эпос</kwd><kwd>эпическое исследование</kwd><kwd>китайский эпос</kwd><kwd>тайская этническая группа</kwd><kwd>тайский эпос</kwd><kwd>устная традиция</kwd><kwd>дуалистические убеждения</kwd><kwd>первобытная вера</kwd><kwd>Тхеравада буддизм</kwd><kwd>Чанг Хап</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Epic</kwd><kwd>epic study</kwd><kwd>Chinese epic</kwd><kwd>Tai ethnic group</kwd><kwd>Tai epic</kwd><kwd>oral tradition</kwd><kwd>dualistic beliefs</kwd><kwd>primitive belief</kwd><kwd>Theravada Buddhism</kwd><kwd>Chang Khap</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Batamaga Pengshangluo.
