《山海经》对异族的想象与自我认知

The Hetero Images and the Self-Cognition of the Huaxia People in the Classic of Mountains and Rivers

本文借鉴法国形象学理论,探索《山海经》中决定异族形象的变形逻辑出发点与华夏人自我认知的关系。《山海经》中自我认知与异族想象包含了一定的华夏自我中心主义,但是也包含着对于异族和异族文化的尊重与包容。这对形成中国多民族政治共同体具有正面意义。而华夏人对待异族的独特方式,可以部分地纠正法国形象学理论。

With reference of the theory of the French imagologie, this article explored the starting point of the deformative logic that determined the hetero images and its relationship with the self-cognition of the Huaxia people in the Classic of Mountains and Rivers （Shanhaijing ）. The hetero images and the self cognition in the book contained a certain egocentrism of the Huaxia people, and also a respect for and tolerance to alien races and their cultures. This was of positive significance to the formation of China＇ s multinational political community. The unique way how the Huaxia people treated alien races could partially rectify the theory of the French imagologie.
