摘要
中国上古神话存留在不同文本中呈现出不同的面貌,其部分原因在于汉字符号系统的独特性。中国象形文字形音义一体、直观与抽象结合的特点,使汉语言符号系统获得一种感性与理性的和谐与平衡,也使汉语的思维方式里充斥着较多情感的因素。这种特点使得神话与其他文本的分界较为模糊,以致神话的寄生现象极为普遍,难以形成系统的神话体系。
Ancient Chinese myths in different editions take on various forms, which is partly caused by the uniqueness of Chinese symbolic system. Chinese hieroglyph integrates forms, phonetics with hints, intuition with abstract and thus provides the Chinese symbolic system with a balance and harmony between logos and geist. Additionally the Chinese thinking styles acquired much emotion. These features dimmed the difference between ancient Chinese myths and other texts, causing heavy parasitism and barring Chinese myths from forming an independent mythological system.
