《天问》中昆仑神话新释

A New Interpretation of Kunlun Mythology in Tianwen

《天问》一诗,从"昆仑县圃"到"乌焉解羽"一段内容,并非多个异闻传说的组合,而是属于一个共同体——昆仑神话。将《天问》中的昆仑神话与《山海经》和《淮南子》等书的相关记载相比较,并逐句释读,可揭示《天问》中昆仑神话的真正面貌。在此基础上研究《天问》的结构,发现《天问》共分为两大部分,第一部分应划分为问天、问地、问昆仑三个段落,其结构整饬,极有条理。

In Tianwen, lines from ＂Kunlun Xuanpu＂ to ＂Wu Yan Jie Yu＂ are not a combination of various legends but a homogeneous mythology-Kunlun mythology. This paper explores Kunlun mythologyin Tianwen. Comparison of the records in Shanhaijing and Huainanzi sentence by sentence reveals the new illustrations of the content. The results disclosed by the study of the structure and misplacements ofbamboo-slips show new discovery about Tianwen. The first part in Tianwen is in good order, which can be divided into three parts： heaven, earth and kunlun mythology.
