壮族民间故事《妈勒访天边》的文化解读——兼与廖明君先生商榷

The Interpretation of Folktale of Zhuang Nationality: Ma Lei's Seeking for the Horizon ——In addition to deliberating with Mr.Liao Mingjun

廖明君以神话学视角与世俗功利观念解读壮族民间创作《妈勒访天边》,认为“访天边”是访有“生殖与丰饶”意义的太阳;孕妇访天边,是原始先民认为孕妇“有生殖与丰饶”的文化功能,“有与太阳相呼应的文化意义。”把故事释读成了人类向太阳祈祷的巫术仪式的象征。《妈勒访天边》是故事,研究重点应放在所表现的理性意识上;也不能以世俗眼光看待文学。该故事反映了壮族人民认识世界的愿望,及壮族人民理性的觉醒和科学意识的萌芽。

Mr. Liao Mingjun interpreted folk literature creation of Zhuang nationality Ma Lei＇s Seeking for the Horizon from the angle of view in both mythology and common utility . Mr. Liao believed that ＂ seeking for the Horizon＂ is to seeking for the sun with the meaning of ＂ reproduction and fertility＂. The reason of pregnant woman＇ s seeking for the horizon is that original people believed that pregnant woman has the cultural function of ＂ reproduction and fertility＂, which works in concert with the sun. Mr. Liao interpreted this folktale as a witching symbol of human beings＇ praying to the sun. Ma Lei＇ s Seeking for the Horizon is just a tale, the focal point of research should be put in it＇s rational meaning, and we shouldn＇t treat literature with common views. This tale reflects the nice wish for cogitating the world of Zhuang people, it＇ s the awakening of rational consciousness and the embryonic scientific consciousness of Zhuang people.
