中原女娲神话的流布及相关习俗

Spread of Goddess Myth in Middle China and Relative Custom

女娲神话在中原地区流传很广 ,与之相关的民俗因逐渐成为人们的“行为规范”而被严格地遵从、承袭 ,因而也得以保留下来。从一些与神话有关的民俗事象中探视原始神话的原生状态 ,则可以从中寻求到一些民俗事象的“源” 。

Goddess Myth has spread in Middle China widely for long.The relative custom of the local people has become a rule for them to obey and inherit.That is also a reason why the custom can be kept until now.From the relative custom,the original estate of the old myth can be retrieved,which may help understand the mind of the local people and the source of the old myth.
