中国神话是一种文化载体,通过超自然的形象和幻想的形式来表现的故事和传说,一方面反映了早期炎黄子孙淳朴的思想,另一方面也体现出古代人们对周围的自然现象和未来未知社会生活的原始幻想,是“通过人民的幻想用一种不自觉的艺术方式加工的自然和社会形式本身”。它不仅深刻地影响着中国各种文学的创作,而且对中华民族特征的形成发挥了潜移默化的指引作用。认真去推敲每一个中国神话故事,不难发现它们都有共同的文化内涵,而这些文化内涵正是中华民族特征的核心。 Chinese mythology is a kind of cultural carrier. The stories and legends expressed in the form of supernatural images and fantasies reflect on the one hand the simple and honest thoughts of the early proletariat, on the other hand, they also reflect the ancient people’s perception of the surrounding natural phenomena and the unknown future The original fantasy of social life is “the natural and social form itself processed in an unconscious artistic manner through the fantasies of the people.” It not only profoundly affects the creation of various Chinese literatures, but also plays a subtle and guiding role in the formation of the Chinese characteristics. To carefully scrutinize every Chinese myth, it is not difficult to find that they all share a common cultural connotation, and these cultural connotations are the core of the Chinese nation.
