海南世居黎族兄妹婚型洪水神话及其族群认同

The Brother-Sister-Get-Married Pattern Flood Mythology of the Li Nationality Natives in Hainan and Its Ethnic Identity

海南世居黎族在它那源远流长的历史发展中孕育出丰富的神话故事,其中兄妹婚型洪水神话即为代表。兄妹婚型洪水神话在其发展历程中渐渐形成自己特有的故事情节与母题,这与列维·斯特劳斯的结构主义神学理论不约而同地相似,它们的历史叙事虽貌似迥异却又似曾相识。我们有必要对海南世居黎族进行历史文献学与神话学的比较诠释,寻找它们与创世神话的休戚相关之处,在占有第一手史料的基础上,以历史还原法,解读出史实在文化传承中如何形塑自己的族群身份,并在族群的文化变迁中何以得到保持其族群认同。

The long historical development of the Li nationality natives has nurtured abundant mythologies, represented by the brother-sister-get-married pattern flood mythology. The brother-sister-get-married pattern flood mythology, in its development, has gradually formed its own unique plots and themes,which is coincidentally similar to Claude Lévi-Strauss＇ s Theory of Structuralism Theology, as their historical narrations seem widely different but similar. It is necessary to carry out an interpretation of the Li nationality natives in Hainan based on the comparison between historical literature and theology, in order to discover their close relationship with creation myth. Based on firsthand historical materials, this paper intends to explain how to shape the ethnic identity of historical facts in history inheritance,as well as how to obtain and maintain the ethnic identity in ethnic culture changes.
