新时期蒙古神话研究的回顾与展望

RETROSPECT AND PROSPECT ABOUT THE RESEARCH OF MONGOLIAN MYTHOLOGY IN THE NEW ERA

蒙古族神话研究伊始已有近百年历史,新中国成立以来,尤其是改革开放30年以来,蒙古神话的研究进入新的发展阶段。在这期间国内外有关学者从蒙古族居住的各个地区搜集整理了大量的神话资料,并在此基础上进行研究,取得令世人注目的成就,不但有专著问世,而且有不少学术论文发表于各种学术刊物上。回顾30年来蒙古神话研究史,是搜集整理与学术研究并存的历史,是基础研究与理论研究并重的历史,也是专题研究与综合研究并驾齐驱的历史。今后蒙古神话研究的任务还很重,新资料的不断挖掘发现,理论借鉴和研究方法的更新和研究领域的拓展,加强比较研究或综合研究等方面都需要完成大量的工作。

It has been about 100 years since the research about Mongolian mythology started. After the foundation of the People＇s Republic of China, especially in the 30 years since the opening and reform, the research has reached a new development stage, during which scholars from home and abroad collected and managed a great deal of mythological materials from various Mongolian areas, and based on these did some research and have obtained outstanding achievements. Not only specific works have been published but a great number of academic papers have been published in various academic journals. Looking back at the research in the 30 years, it is not difficultu to find that it is a history of collection and academic research, a history of basic and theoretical study, and a history of thematic and comprehensive study. With the constant excavation of new materials, the innovation of theoretical reference and research methods, the research about Mongolian mythology still has a long way to go and we should strengthen both comparative and comprehensive study about it.
