东渡的巨人:盘古神话与日本神话

摘要

日本有学者认为中国神话给予日本神话的影响,除开天辟地神话中形而上学的哲学性思考的影响外,极为有限.然而,通过分析日本记纪神话及其周边神话出典的文本可以发现,不仅是在形而上学的哲学层面,在宇宙卵神话、垂死化身与祓禊生神、天地渐进分离及其分离标志等具体的神话母题、意象、结构与模式方面,日本创世神话也深受中国盘古神话的影响.%It was thought by Japanese scholars that the inlfuence of Chinese myth upon Japanese myth were very limited except the metaphysics philosophy in the myth of creating the world. By analyzing the texts of Japanese Kiki shinwa and other relevant myth, the study found that the creation myth in Japan were affected by Chinese Pan Gu myth not only in the metaphysical philosophy, but also in the speciifc myth motif, image, structure and model of the cosmic egg myth, moribund avatar, god born from bathing in Fuxi, gradual separation between sky and earth and its separation mark.
