Remember GX: Zhuang of Western Nanning
The Zhuang people of Western Nanning speak a language close to the Wuming Northern Nanning Zhuang dialect, relatively less influenced by Mandarin, and retains a more original, traditional character. Every year in mid-July of the lunar calendar, after the early rice ripens, they hold a harvest festival, offering sacrifices to the “grain god” and their ancestors to express gratitude for the blessings of the harvest.
Psalm 136:25
He gives food to every creature. His love endures forever.
Pr: Thank the L for being the provider of all things, granting the harvest and everything needed. May the L watch over the Zhuang people in Western Nanning, so that during the harvest festival they may give glory to G and come to know and experience His abundant provision and blessings.
Remember GX: Zhuang of Southern Nanning
The Zhuang people of southern Nanning live mainly in the Yongning county of Nanning prefecture. Having lived alongside the majority Han people for a long time, their language and culture show a strong degree of integration: their language is heavily influenced by Cantonese, and their customs often incorporate elements of Chinese, Cantonese, and Zhuang traditions. They are generally open to faith and possess a culturally inclusive and receptive character.
Acts 3:19
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.
Pr: Thank the Lord for giving the Zhuang people in southern Nanning an open heart. May the Lord guide their hearts to turn to Him, know His lovingkindness, and willingly embrace truth and faith, so that they may experience peace and joy in both life and faith.
