从东土王室公主到西土部落酋长——“西王母”原型之语言考辨

From the Princess of Royal Family of the East to the Western Tribe Chief——the Language Study about "Xiwang mu(the Queen Mother of the West)"

《穆天子传》中的"西王母"是一个古汉语词,产生于周穆王西巡之时。"西膜"是一个古羌语词,是古羌人母系氏族部落的自称。西王母的历史原型是一位与周穆王存在血缘关系、远嫁西部的周王室公主,西王母是由东土王室公主变身为西土部落女酋长的。其后,"西王母"一词逐渐取代"西膜"等音译词,变为汉语社团对西土古羌人母系氏族部落的统称。
