热与光:苦行与精进——略论中印太阳和火神话及相关的宗教问题

Ancient Chinese and Indian Myths of the Sun and the Fire and Relevant Religious Problems

远古及上古时期,世界上许多民族、部落或民族都实行过太阳崇拜、火崇拜,甚至还有光崇拜,并且创造出了太阳神、火神、光明神等神祗,虔诚信仰,他们为此而编织的不少神话流传至今。本文拟以中国、印度和波斯的此类原始神话与宗教信仰为例,兼及苦行、精进、禁欲、败道诸题,略论其起源,粗说其奥义,请读者指正。

Here the author bases on his previously一expounded theory on the culture of genital cult to make a new interpretation of the ancient Chinese and Indian mythology.lie thinks that either the sun cult or the fire cult in remote ages was but a genital cult instead of a worship of nature.
