A Field Pioneer in the Transition Period of Mythology——In Memory of Mr.Zhang Zhenli

张振犁先生于20世纪80年代开始组织中原神话调查,培养出了一批致力于神话研究的专业人才,形成了颇具影响力的中原神话学派。中原神话学派将以往被学术界所忽视的汉族口承神话纳入研究视野,进行大规模的神话搜集、整理和研究,提出了一些新的理论观点,促进了中国神话研究的深化。张振犁是中国神话学转型时期的一位田野拓荒者,他领导的中原神话考察从方法论到一些理论观点都对神话学界具有启发意义,他是一位承前启后的神话学者,是现代口承神话研究的践行者。通过中原神话考察历程的回顾,总结其经验教训,为今后中原地区的神话研究指明方向,要更加注重田野的"深描",开展神话民族志研究;在精细化田野作业基础上开展跨区域的比较研究;要采用多元的综合立体式研究,与国内外神话学界积极对话;关注神话在当代的传承与意义。
