水族与南方其他民族创世神话互文性阐释

An Intertextual Interpretation of the Creation Myth of the Shui Nationality and the Southern Nationalities

神话是人类最早的文化记忆之一,是民族历史文化传承的重要载体。水族与南方其他民族的创世神话融入了他们的口头传统,在口传过程中其内容更加丰富。在他们丰富的神话内容中发现有很多相似,主要表现在天地起源、人类起源、文化发明等创世神话内部的二元对立结构、叙事程式以及程式结构中的情节母题等方面。这种相似的现象与西方互文性理论十分契合。因而,从互文性的理论来分析水族与南方其他民族创世神话的文本内容,或许可以深入地认识水族创世神话叙事与南方民族创世神话叙事传统的关系。

As one of the earliest cultural memories of human beings,myth is an important cultural carrier.The creation myths of the Shui nationality and the southern nationalities are integrated into their oral traditions,and their content is richer in the development of oral traditions.There are many similarities in the motif and narrative structure between the Shui nationality and the southern nationalities,such as the origin of heaven and earth,the origin of human beings and the cultural invention.This similar phenomenon fits well with Western intertextuality theory.Therefore,analyzing the textual content of the creation mythology of the Shui people and the southern peoples from the theory of intertextuality may be able to understand the deep relationship between their cultures.
