《捷經》雜字是一冊桂北地區乾隆年間民間底層社會編撰的蒙學讀物。目前發現此書手抄、木刻兩種,通過考證兩書的具體內容和體例特征,認為署清乾隆五十四年的木刻本是后來的翻刻本或改良本,從時間上看清光緒年間手抄本所據底本要早于木刻本。此種雜字書,記載了桂北地區清至民國底層百姓的衣食住行、宗教信仰、商業貿易等豐富的文化信息,甚至對地方語言文化的研究都有重要的參考價值。

Jiejing,the Collection of Words,is aprimer compiled by underclass in the northern areas of Guangxi in the reign of Emperor Qianlong(1711-1799 A.D).Two versions have been found,the hand-written one and the xylographic one.After examining their contents and stylistic features,this paper holds that the xylographic version with the sign of " Qianlong 54 th Year" is a subsequent copy or modified version,and the original version on which the handwritten version was based in the reign of Emperor Guangxu(1871-1908 A.D.)is earlier than the xylograpic one.Carrying rich cultural information including daily life,religious belief and commercial trade of the underclass in northern areas of Guangxi from Qing Dynasty to the period of the Republic of China,such books are of significant referential value to the research of local language and culture.
