摘　　要：玉帛是中国远古神话与宗教信仰突出关注的两种物质。帛作为仅次于玉的一种神圣礼器,其背后的神话叙事与神圣言说皆源自帛的原生物——蚕,它象征着生命的永恒与循环。从祭仪之帛到书写之帛,帛的神话叙事功能得到多方位的呈示。而经典文献与出土实物,文字书写与活态民族志,四重证据法的展开,可以大体诠释"帛——丝——蚕"神话叙事链的完整特征。Jade objects and silk fabrics are two substances with which the myth and religious beliefs of ancient China have concerned closely. As a kind of sacred ritual articles, Silk fabrics second only to jade objects. All the myth narratives and legends of silk fabrics originate from their eobiont--silkworm which symbolizes life eternity and circulation. The myth narrative functions of silk fabrics have been shown on multiple levels from ritual silks to writing silks. Study on classic literature and unearthed objects, and character writings and living ethnography by quadruple evidence law can explain complete features of the mythical narrative chain ＂silk fabrics--silks-silkworms＂ generally.
