摘　　要：民间故事类型由众多文本集合而成。同一个民间故事类型中的每篇异文,都含有常量和变量两种元素,常量是该类型共有的结构元素,即不变母题;变量指每篇异文中的具体情节单元,称为可变母题。基于这种认识,将中国洪水再殖型故事的568篇异文建立数据库,为科学地描述故事文本间的类同与差异关系,找到了一条新路。The folk tale types are the collection of all versions of tales. Every version of the same folk tale type contains both constants and variables. The former refers to the common structure elements of the type and is known as invariable motif; while the latter, known as variable motif, refers to those detailed plots of every variant version. Based on the above understanding, this paper sets up a database of 568 versions of Chinese flood--rebirth stories, which provides a new approach to scientifically present the similarities and differences among tale versions.
