盘瓠神话的起源、传播与接纳

Myths of Pan Hu: Origin,Communication and Acceptance

盘瓠神话具有明显的汉文化元素,是在汉族文化中心的中原一带形成后,由南迁的汉族先民带到南方少数民族地区,并被当地的少数民族接纳。接纳的关键是盘瓠神话曾与兄妹婚神话结合,具有人类起源神话的性质,之后才演变为阐释姓氏来源或多族起源的神话。在这个过程中,汉传民间信仰也起了重要的作用。

The myths of Pan Hu are of striking Han cultural elements. Formed in Central China＇ s Han areas ,they were accepted by local minority people when Han people moved southward to minority areas. The key for the acceptauce of the myths is their combination with the marriage of brother and sister. Put in another way,because of the feature of human origin ,these myths were later used as means of explaining the origins of surnames or multiple ethnicities. In this process, the Han folk beliefs played an important role.
