略论中国神话的“轴心时代”

On the "Axial Age" of Chinese Myth

中国神话在其“轴心时代”,先民凭借原始的感性思维创造了无数著名神话,流传至今。然而“神话轴心”又决不仅仅满足于神话的丰产,更关注的是神话对后世的无法估量的影响。神话对人类文明的影响是潜移默化的,它并不张扬于表面,更多的是在人们无意识的状态下对生活产生影响。无论是前轴心时代、轴心时代、轴心时代以后,乃至今天,神话的魅力仍未见消退。

In the ＂axis age＂ of Chinese mythology, primitive ancestors created many well-known myths survived till now. However, ＂the axis of myth＂ is by no means satisfied with large quantities of myths produced; which have it pays more attention to the immeasurable and imperceptible influence that it exerts on the human civilization. The charm of myth has still not seen the retrogression from pre-axis age, axis age, post-axis age till today.
