摘　　要：台湾原住民各族群的始祖神话十分丰富,从岛外的大陆、海洋起源,到岛内的山地、洞穴、平原起源,并伴随着石头、树木、竹林、葫芦、蛇、虫等图腾,是族群历史模糊化的集体记忆与万物有灵的原住宗教心理糅合的产物。各族群的始祖神话有一定的共性,也有着明显的差异,体现了原住民文化来源的多样性和复杂性。岛外起源始祖神话的普遍性,体现了原住民的外来文化特征。始祖神话的多样性和分层性,反映了原住民起源的多元性和族群迁徙的历史过程。There are rich legends and myths about first ancestor of the aboriginal groups in Taiwan. These legends mention that the first ancestors of the original inhabitants in Taiwan came from the mainland of China and surrounding seas of Taiwan, or mountains, caves, plains in Taiwan with totem ancestry of stone, tree, bamboo, gourd, snake, insects. They show the fuzzy memory of aboriginal groups＇ early history and their primitive religion of animism. These legends share both commonness and obvious difference, which reflect the diversity and complexity of cultural origin. Most of legends refer that first ancestor came from outside Taiwan, revealing the non-local character of aborigines in Taiwan. The diversity and stratigraphy of them reflect the different origin of aboriginal groups and their long history of immigration in Taiwan.
