巫山神女:巴楚民族历史文化融合的结晶

Wushan Fairy: Crystallization of Cultural and Historical Ferments of Ba and Chu Ethnics

神女神话是巫山本土巴文化的产物,高唐和楚先王在故事中的出现以及神女的"自荐枕席",是楚人征服巫山这一历史变迁的象征性反映。楚人利用民俗文化,把集体表象、原始宗教仪式与精神统治结合起来,从而把巫山神女神话改造成兼容巴楚民族基因的新质文化;宋玉将历史情感化,将原欲审美化,将社会行为心理化,使其历史内容潜隐到文本底层,爱的憧憬和美的追求得以突现,从而使巫山神女神话演变为浪漫主义精神文化。

Fairy tale is the product of Wushan aboriginal culture. The appearances of Gaotang and the decreased king of Chu are just symbolic reflection of the process of Chu people conquering Wushan. Chu people made full use of folk culture to combine the phenomenon, the primitive religious ceremonies and spiritual ruling, which resulted in changing Wushan Fairy tale into a new culture with Ba and Chu characteristics.
