洪水神话的原型与建构

洪水神话是一种复合型的神话,它由原型洪水神话、水生人神话、葫芦生人神话、兄妹婚神话等融合而成.洪水神话中的关键性情节,如洪水泛滥、葫芦载人、兄妹占卜成婚、怪胎变人等都是由原型神话变形演化而来,虽经变形,但多数仍保留了原始的生殖文化内涵,并由此而共同形成了洪水神话再造人类的主题.

Prototype and Construction of Flood Myth

The prototypes of flood myth, of the myths of water bearing human beings, gourd bearing human beings and the brother and sister getting married blended into the flood myth. The key stories in the myth such as being in flood, bottle gourd carrying the man, the genetic freak turning into human beings come from the prototype of the myths and the cultural connotation of human reproduction remained. Therefore the theme of the flood myth reproducing human beings comes into being.
