摘要
神话时代,各民族对于世界与人类起源命题的解答与诠释往往是融合在一起的,且常常成为特定民族对其族源历史进行认同的表达方式。中国众多民族的族源性女神母题大体表现为4个亚型即大地女神、救世女神、创世女神、先祖女神等,并多与洪水神话母题链接。这些女神母题所建构的故事化诠释体系,认定世界与人类的起源具有同质性,并全面确立起女神的人性特征等文化意义,证明了中华民族在文化传统上作为母性文化的整体性与一致性。
The answers and interpretations to the origins of the world and human being in the mythological age, quite often connected and combined, have become the expression of identification with an origin by a people. The motif on feminine gods with the national origin characteristics in China, enjoys four subfunctional aspects: the feminine god of land, the feminine god rescuing the world; the feminine god creating the world, and feminine god on the ancestors, most of whom are related to the motif of inundation myth. The interpretation system for these motifs suggests an identification of the world origin with that of human beings, establishes the cultural connotation of feminine gods enjoying mortal features, and justifies the integrity of the idea that the Chinese cultural tradition assumes the feminine cultural features.
