中国南方少数民族神话中的洪水和同胞婚姻情节

The Deluge and Consanguineous Marriage in the Myths of Minorities of the Southern China

中国南方少数民族神话中的洪水和同胞婚姻构成有机联系的整体:洪水是神话创作者用以灭绝人类的工具,是他们为同胞婚姻设定的必要条件,与历史上的洪水灾难并无直接联系;神话中的同胞婚姻不是历史上曾经存在的同胞婚姻的再现,而是人类潜意识中同胞婚姻欲望的表现。神话中的同胞婚姻以"世界上只有同胞二人"和"天意许可同胞婚姻"为前提,旨在强化现实生活中同胞不可结婚的普世原则。

The deluge and consanguineous marriage are integrated plots in the myths of minorities of the Southern China.The deluge,a way used by the myth-creators to extinguish human beings,is a prerequisite set for consanguineous marriage.The mythic deluge is by no means an evidence of historical flood damage.The mythic consanguineous marriage is not representation of consanguineous marriage,but a manifestation of the subconscious to marry one's brother/sister.The prerequisites of mythic consanguineous marriage suppose that there are only a pair of brother-sister survived and destiny encourages the consanguineous marriage in order to emphasize the universal principle that full brother and sister are forbidden to marry each other.
