杨庭硕先生在《民族文化与生境》一书中对民族、文化和生境三者进行了细致的综合考察，讨论了民族是如何在一个动态的自然生境与社会生境当中变化、发展的。他认为，围绕着一个民族的外部环境，包括自然环境与社会环境，是一个纷繁复杂的物质与精神的随机组合。每一个民族存续，都是凭借其自成体系的文化，向这个随机组合体索取生存的物质，寻找精神支柱，从而获得民族的生存延续和发展。[1]要考察壮侬岱泰族群宗教信仰，则需要对物质和精神的组合进行一定的考察。
Mr. Yang Ting Shuo in “the national culture and habitat ", a Book of ethnic, cultural, and habitat were detailed investigation, discussed is how in a dynamic natural environment and social environment change, the development of the nation. He believes that around a nation's external environment, including the natural environment and social environment, is a complex material and the spirit of the random combination. The survival of every nation, is by virtue of its own system of culture, to the random combination of the survival of the material, looking for spiritual support, so as to obtain the survival and development of the nation. To study the Zhuang Dai Nong Thai religion, combination of material and spirit should be investigated.
