Abstract

This paper reviews significant scientific literature on Dongba and Daba oral traditions. Studies in this field are currently at a preliminary stage. Oral literature carries ancestral knowledge and wisdom in illiterate contexts. However, the oral features of Dongba scripture have been scarcely analysed in previous studies, while Daba oral texts have not yet been systematically documented. The present work shows the more significant aspects of current studies on Dongba and Daba oral traditions, commenting on the main achievements and highlighting topics that require further research.
