《离骚》之“昆仑”新论

On Kunlun in Lisao

古代典籍中昆仑的地望不应定于一隅,昆仑是一个大致的范围,可以称为"昆仑文化区"。昆仑神话和太阳神话本源于昆仑地区是人类的发祥地和太阳东升西落这两个"客观存在"。古人由此建立他们的生命和宇宙模式。《离骚》中昆仑神话的意蕴和文学内涵由此衍生,《离骚》中主人公的飞游和归宿也可依此阐释。

Kunlun in ancient classics should be regarded as an area, rather than a particular site, which could be called ＂the cultural area of Kunlun＂ . Mythology of Kunlun and sun originated from the fact that Kunlun area was one of the human＇s hirthpaices, and that the sun rises from the east and sets in the west. Ancient people created their modes of life and universe because of the two facts. We can interpret mythology of kunlun and Quyuan＇s suiside in the Lisao on the basis of what we have discussed.
