摘要
由于中国对神话一词的最初引进就是涵盖在文学的范畴之下,因而造成中国的神话研究长久以来一直处在被边缘化、简单化的境地。实际上,神话不仅是文学的源头,也是人类早期文化尚未分化的整体,其中创世神话更是具有文化基因的意义。只有打破现代学科体制,将神话还原到绵延数万年的文化语境之中,才能对其价值和意义作出有效的阐释。众多学者对中国创世神话的探讨,或扩充研究材料,或扩展研究方法,或拓展研究视野,都是在这种研究思路之下所进行的有效探索。
Since myth is introduced into China under the concept of literature, the study of myth has been simplified and despised for a long time. In fact, myth is not only the origin of literature, but also embodies the ancient culture as whole. Among all kinds of myths, the creation myth is considered as the gene of culture. To revalue and interpret it properly, we have to put it back into the culture context which has standing for tens of thousand years. The scholars who were dedicated in the study of creation myth of China bring many efficient work in this field.
