洪水、葫芦神话的衍变与印缅那加族的迁移

The Evolution of the Flood-and-Gourd Myth and the Migration of the Indian-Myanmar Naga People

流传于云南的洪水葫芦神话包含三个内核:洪水、兄妹成婚、葫芦生人,是各民族文化交汇的产物。最初是由杜宇族人带来的蜀国反映人与自然斗争的洪水神话;其次为朱提的洪水—兄妹成婚神话,反映了败亡南逃的杜宇族人对"直眼人"时代的反思和开辟新时代的愿望;在古代哀牢地区产生并传至云南各民族的洪水—兄妹成婚—葫芦神话,主题为各民族皆兄弟。印缅那加族的洪水葫芦神话表明,他们的先民大约在7世纪时从云南迁出,迁移途中经过了佤族居住地区。

The Flood - and - Gourd Myth popular in Yunnan has three stories of flood, brother-sister marriage, and human birth from gourd. It is the product of cross - cultural communication and contacts among various ethnic peoples. It was first originated from the flood myth of the Duyu people in the Shu Kingdom, reflecting the struggle of man against nature. Second, it came from the myth of flood and brother- sister marriage of the Zhnti people, revealing the reflections of the defeated Duyu people fleeing southward on the time of ＂the people with eyes up- ward＂, and expressing their hope for a new era. The myth of flood, brother - sister marriage, and gourd, which was originated from the ancient Ailao Mountain area and was subsequently introduced into the ethnic groups of Yun- nan, highlights the idea of brotherhood among all the ethnic peoples. The Flood - and - Gourd Myth of the Indian - Myanmar Naga people implies that their ancestors moved out of Yunnan probably in the 7th century. During the course, they went by the area of the Wa ethnic people.
