竹王神话传说新读及其族属关系的方法论探索

《华阳国志》所载竹王神话传说,还有人类起源、植物起源、英雄故事等母题,不能因瞩目于族源母题而对多重母题视而不见。竹王神话传说＂版权＂归属何民族？经搜集彝族、苗族、布依族、仡佬族竹王神话传说的资料,与《华阳国志》文本比较,认为由于仡佬族资料更亲和《华阳国志》文本,因而据有＂版权＂。在进行上述论证中,注意从文本阅读、神话素结构分析、图腾类型及图腾崇拜仪式内涵分析方面,去综合理解各种竹王神话传说材料。认为这是理解《华阳国志》竹王神话传说多重母题、确定仡佬族版权等认识的一种新思路。

A New Decipherment of the Legend of Bamboo King and an Exploration of the Methodology to Search for His Nationality

The legend of Bamboo King recorded in The Records of the Histories South of Huashan includes many topics, such as the nascence of humankind, the nascence of some plants, and heroic stories, besides the nascence of a nationality （ it is inappropriate to focus on the later one too much to neglect the others）. Where did the legend of Bamboo King originally come from？ Through the comparison of the myth and legend materials from four nationalities - the Yi, the Miao, the Buyi, and the Gelao - and with the record of the The Records of the Histories South of Huashan written in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it comes to the conclusion that the legend must be from the Gelao for its similarity to the text of the book. In the process of the demonstration, the writer consciously synthesized the text understanding, structural analysis of Myethemes, the analysis of the type of totem and the connotations in the totem- worship ceremony to comprehend various materials of the legend of Bamboo King, which is a new method of thinking to understand the multi - topic legend in The Records of the Histories South of Huashan and decides the origin the legend.
