摘要
伏羲神话有很长时间存在着语言叙事与图像叙事两个系统错杂的问题。早期语言讲述伏羲帝王业绩,图像却绘制伏羲人首蛇身创生人类。语言叙事致力于构建中国创世神话的三皇五帝谱系,而图像叙事在构建这一谱系的过程中,保留了伏羲神话的神灵神性。图像构件框架的稳定性与不变韧性是其形式的力量,而现实需求是内在动力,缺乏外在图像元素冲击保障了伏羲神话从两汉到隋唐的基本面貌。太极八卦图像发明后,伏羲神话的图像谱系改变了,三皇五帝的图像格局也就重塑了。宋代以来伏羲变为圣人图像,民间的伏羲女娲则变为兄妹故事,图像叙事与语言叙事再次错杂,形成了伏羲神话的多元认同。伏羲图像对于中华文化认同具有重要意义,是古老神话现代传承的直观见证。与希腊神话相比,图像景观与仪式行为的叙事传承,证明了中华神话的现代活力,以及深厚的叙事谱系根脉。
The Fuxi myth has long faced a problem of mixed language narrative and image narrative systems.Early language described the imperial achievements of Fuxi,while images depicted him with a human head and snake body,emphasizing his role in human creation.Language narrative constructed the genealogy of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in Chinese creation mythology,while image narrative preserved the divine nature of the Fuxi myth throughout this genealogy.Images are stable and resilient,and there are the real demand as the internal driving force.Besides,the lack of external impact on image elements ensures the basic appearance of the Fuxi myth from the Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.After the invention of the Eight Trigrams,the image genealogy of the Fuxi myth changed,reshaping image pattern of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.By the Song Dynasty,Fuxi emerged as a saint image,while the folk stories of Fuxi and Nüwa transformed into sibling stories.The narrative of images and language is once again mixed,forming a multifaceted identity of the Fuxi myth.The image of Fuxi is of great significance for the recognition of Chinese culture and is a witness to the modern inheritance of ancient myths.Compared with Greek mythology,the narrative inheritance of visual landscapes and ritual behaviors proves the modern vitality and deep root of narrative genealogy of Chinese myth.
