“竹生甲兵”母题生成新探

A New Probe into the Formation of the Archetype of Armed Soldiers from the Bamboos in the Zhuang Legend Moyi King

《莫一大王》型传说中"竹生甲兵"的母题与古代文献中记载的《夜郎侯出生》的传说不属于同一叙事类型,很有可能是接受了敦煌变文《孔子项讬相问书》的影响生成的,是壮、汉文化交流的结果。"竹生甲兵"的母题是讲传说主人公在遇到伤害时,具有与佛经中地藏菩萨一样的分身的"神力",因而这一母题很可能是基于佛教思想而产生的。

The archetype of Armed Soldiers from the Bamboos in the leg- end Moyi King isn＇t the same archetype of The Birth Of Yelang King in the ancient documents, It is probably affected by the story named ＂The Debate between Confucius and Xiang Tuo＂ in the varied Dunhuang writings, which is a say -sing literary form created by the Buddhists in order to spread their religious doctrines, and the result of the cultural interchange between the Zhuang ethnic groups and the Hans. The archetype of Armed Soldiers from the Bamboos is telling us that the leading character can change into thousgnds of persons to hide himself in the bamboos when he encounters injury, and prepares himself for the further struggle with the rival, which is the same with Dizang Budhisaffva in the Buddhist scripture who has the mystical ability of changing himself into thousands of bodies. So we think this archetype is based on the Buddhist＇s doctrine.
