The Chinese legends of upper ancient times and primitive religion are an "integration" of the same historic cultural form and a condensation of cultural mentality of given historic stages of primitive people. Both of them preserve the ancient historic memory, and tell the occurrence, evolution, inheritance and transformation of human history, accumulating primitive life force. Nevertheless, they have displayed different cultural turns though living on the same soil and interacting with each other. It is argued that these turns constitute the inherent quality of legend-religion, with their definite "poetic"traits and wild thinking being the cultural implications in different space concepts. The research on the cultural logic in Chinese legends of upper ancient times and primitive religion is conducive to an exploration of ethnic cultural mentality, the understanding of its essence, the enhancement of ethnic cultural confidence, and the construction of a harmonious civilized society.%中国上古神话与原始宗教是源于同一历史文化形态的"统一体",是原始初民特定历史阶段的文化心理缩影,二者共同保留了久远的历史记忆,诉说着人类历史的发生、演进、相承、转变的历时性发展,蕴积着原始的生命伟力.然而,上古神话与原始宗教作为一对"异卵"双胞胎,在同一块土壤上开花结果,相伴相生,相互促动的文化演进逻辑使其发生了不同的文化转向.这种转向恰恰构成了神话一宗教的文化原质态内涵,其凝定的"诗性"特征、野性思维则是不同空间观念下的文化意蕴所在.研究"中国上古神话与原始宗教发生的文化逻辑",对于探讨民族文化心理,认识其精神内涵,进而加强民族文化自信,构建和谐文明社会,都具有重要的现实意义.
