中国“牛郎织女”故事与武当道教文化——试论武当山东神道牛河林区亦为《牛郎织女》故事起源地(上)

China Story of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maid and Wudang Taoist Culture ——On the Origin of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maid Story

武当山历史上以养牛、养蚕、丝织为主要传统产业的牛河、牛家河派生了极富浓郁地方特色的牛郎织女故事。牛郎织女神话与玄武神话共存,并从玄武神话传说中吸取了营养。因此,在此长期影响下,武当山东神道的牛河国家森林公园亦为牛郎织女故事起源地。

In Wudang Mountains,Niuhe Town took cattle raising,silkworm breeding and silk weaving as the main traditional industries,so that the story of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maid originated here.The story of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maid and the story of Emperor Xuanwu were closely connected,while the former absorbed some insight from the latter.Therefore,we can conclude that Niuhe State Forest Park is the original place of the story of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maid.
