《山海经》与原始造神思维

On Shanhaijing and original god-making thought

《山海经》塑造人、兽、神三者意象的混同以及文本有关"天梯"的记载,已自证其与原始思维的亲缘关系。其想象的神祇形貌为:异类整合与畸形成体,构设神祇配饰;操蛇或饰蛇,渲染神祇活动;声音、色彩和光线的综合视听等,再现出原始造神的内涵,并影响到后来的人为宗教造神运动。

Shanhaijing （The Classic of Mountains and Rivers） has many mixing images of human beings, beasts and god, and together with the records on ＂sky ladder＂ in this paper, they prove the genetic relation-ship with the original thought. Their imagined shapes of god are an integration of different species or malformation, or conceived ornament of god; holding snake or ornamental snake to exaggerate god＇s activity; radio and audio combination of sound, color and light, and so on. All these showed the connotation of original god - making, and they had affected the subsequent artificial religious god -making movement.
