土家族盐神爱情悲剧的人类学意蕴

Anthropological Signficance of Tujia Salt God′s Love Tragedy

在土家族远古传说中,盐神主动向廪君献出国土和爱情却惨遭廪君杀害,从世界角度看,这是一种原始文化现象。这类悲剧缘于人类早期原始性爱中的男女差异:由于原始性节律的作用,女性在生殖时期爱情格外大胆主动,而男性则常常退缩恐惧。这类现象中蕴涵着深厚的古人类学内涵。

In Tujia fairy tales,the salt God presented with all respect his territory and love to Linjun,but was killed by the latter. This is a primitive culture. This tragedy originated from the sex difference in the primitive sexual love. Women were always bold and active, while men usually shrinked with fear. This phenomenon contains rich anthropological significance.
