苗族与日本起源神话之比较研究

A Comparative Studies to Original Mythology between Japan and the Miao's

日本与苗族两民族的起源神话的萌芽均在母系氏族社会时期,形成于农耕社会,因而两个民族的神话都具有解释自然、改造自然等特点;但由于历史、地理发展的差异及民族性的不同,苗族神话的伦理性明显强于日本神话,重道德及职责,轻个人性格;而日本神话中的个性扩张与希腊神话等相似,人情味更浓。

Both Miao and Japan' mythologies were born during Matriarchy Period and formed in agricultural society, so they shared considerable characters, for example, they both try to interpret and improve nature. Meanwhile, based on different history, geological environment and national trait, the mythology of Miao Nationality prefers the ethic and responsibility to personality in contrast to Japan' mythology.
