本文以古代阿尔泰语系民族树生人神话传统与蒙古族树始祖型族源传说的联系为切入点，并把蒙古族树始祖型族源传说置于中国北方少数民族文化与文学传统中进行探源，指出蒙古族树始祖型族源传说脱胎于古代阿尔泰语系民族树生人神话，与早期原始先民树木信仰有着密切联系，其思想根源为“万物有灵”观念。蒙古族树始祖型族源传说要重建当代社会与神话传承的联系，利用象征——民族神话、图腾物来神化本氏族的起源，在其发展历程中，既保留原有文化传统，又大量吸收和借鉴北方草原民族神话元素，给自己增添了文化内涵和时代韵律，为族源传说的传承注入了新的生命力。%Starting with the similarities betveen the mythological tradition of man-born-of- trees of the Altaic nationalities and the Mongolian legend of tree-ancestor origin, this paper researches its origin by placing the Mongolian legend of tree-ancestor in the ethnic minority culture and literature of the North, and points out that the Mongolian tree-ancestor family origin legend derives from the man-born-of-trees myth of ancient Altaic nationalities. It is in close contact with the tree belief of early primitive people and its ideological root is that ＂everything has a spirit＂. The Mongolian tree-ancestor family origin legend reestablishes the relationship between modern society and mythological inheritance by making use of ethnic myths and totems to deify the origin of its own nationality, either to maintain its existent cultural tradition or to absorb and learn from the mythological elements of Northern grassland nationalities, their cultural connotation and injects vitality in the inheritance of family origin legends.
