神话传说中鸟意象的跨文化研究

A Transcultural Study of Bird Images in Mythology and Legends

神话传说中的鸟意象,作为人类普遍的共同幻想,体现了人类对于天空的想象与向往,是人类内在感受与外部经历的投映。在不同的文化社会背景下,鸟意象呈现出不同的特点。以神话传说为载体,对中国文化中的凤凰、青鸟、猫头鹰、喜鹊、杜鹃等鸟意象开展跨文化研究,探索不同文化语境中鸟意象的象外之象、异中之同,挖掘中国文化与他者文化中鸟意象的同一性、分裂性及平行性三大特征,有利于实现异质文化间的理性互视与对话。

As a common fantasy of human beings,bird image in myths and legends reflects human’s imagination and yearning for the sky and mirrors human’s inner feelings and external experiences.Under different cultural and social background,bird image presents different characteristics.Taking myths and legends as the carrier,transcultural research on bird images such as phoenix,bluebird,owl,magpie and cuckoo in Chinese culture is carried out by illustrating the image out of the images and the similarity within the differences of bird images in different cultural contexts as well as exploring the identity,fragmentation and parallelism of bird images in Chinese culture and other cultures,which is conducive to realize rational mutual interaction and dialogue between different cultures.
