关于中国早期文明国家的形成与轩辕黄帝神话传说问题

On the Formation of China's Early Civilized Country and the Myth and Legend of Xuanyuan Huangdi

中国国家形成于神话传说时代,最早以"三皇五帝"的名目出现,成为相当普遍的民族记忆。司马迁的《史记》、皇甫谧的《帝王世纪》、罗泌的《路史》等史籍最为典型地体现出这种记忆的变迁与认同。与《苏美尔王表》相似,中国国家的早期历史具有神话传说的表达方式。与之不同的是,这个最早出现繁荣昌盛的文明,早在公元前2000年就消失了,而以轩辕黄帝为开端的中国文明仍然延续着,并且伴随着神话传说,保持着旺盛的生机。

The country of China was formed in the era of myths and legends, at the earliest appearing in the name of' Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns, ' which has been a general memory of a nation. Sima Qian' s Historical Records,Huangfu Mi' s Annals of Monarchs and Luo Bi' s Road History and other historical records most typically reflected the change and identity of such a memory. Similar to the Sumerian King Table, the early history of the Chinese nation had a mythological way of expression. In contrast, the earliest thriving and prosperous civilization disappeared early in the 2000 BC while starting with Xuanyuan Huangdi, the Chinese civilization still continues, and along with myths and legends,maintains the exuberant vitality.
