ABSTRACT: Naris drinking was a fantastic custom of the ethnic groups in southern ancient China. There were sufficient descriptions about naris drinking in the historical records, but no modern report on it. In the fall of 2005, during our field work in Laos, we observed the naris drinking in the Tai-Kang population in the Houaphan province. The Tai-Kang is the only Kam-Sui population living outside of China. They drink wine through their nares with bamboo pipes. Since 1964, this custom has been dying. During the investigation, we also recorded the Tai-Kang's memory of the oppressing from the Han (Chinese) and the Jang (Vietnamese), which indicated that they might have originated in Canton, and arrived in the mountains of Laos through Vietnam.

摘要：鼻饮是古代中国南方民族的一种奇异风俗，在史书中有大量记载，但是中国南方现代民族已没有此风俗。2005年秋，我们在老挝民族调查的过程中，观察到了花盘省的康族的鼻饮习俗。康族是侗水语支民族中唯一分布在中国境外的群体。他们用细竹管从酒瓮里吸酒，并通过鼻孔摄入体内。但是自1964年以来，这一风俗正渐渐消失。在调查中，我们还发现康族保留有被汉人和交人压迫的记忆，证明他们可能来自两广，并经越南进入老挝山区。
