摘　　要：羲和本义为乐舞,是乐舞的人格化;其特点是模仿凤凰而舞,可以称为凤凰舞。这种乐舞乃是一种祭祀乐舞,用于星辰与四方之祭祀,也包括对南方朱鸟的祭祀,凤凰可能是天上鸟宿的象征。帝俊(舜)可能是凤凰(玄鸟)的化身,所以帝俊(舜)的传说多关乎凤凰与乐舞。凤凰舞也是一种历法舞,它用舞乐这种特殊的语言,起到历法的告示与传示作用,形成上古所谓的乐教。羲和与常羲并非同一人,作为乐舞形式,分别承载分一年为十个月与十二个月的历法。《尧典》中羲和的敬授民时是对《山海经》羲和故事的传承。《诗·玄鸟》是殷人新年的祭祀(凤凰)乐舞,或是《山海经》《尧典》中羲和传说和乐舞的源头。The original meaning of Xihe is music and dance,it is thepersonalization of music and dance.Its characteristic to imitate“Phoenix”and dance,can be called“Phoenix Dance”.This kind of music and dance is a king of sacrificial music and dance,which is used to sacrifice the stars in all directions,including the sacrifice of‘Southern red bird’.phoenix may be the symbol of“Bird Star”in the sky,and“Shun”may be the embodiment of Phoenix,so the myth of“Shun”is mostly about“Phoenix”of music and dance.“Phoenix”is also a kind of calendar dance.It uses the special language of music and dance to announce the calendar and forms the so called“music education”in ancient times.Xihe and Changxi are not the same person.As a form of music and dance.they carry the calendar of ten months and twelve months in a year.In Yao Dian,Xihe is the In heritance of the myth of Xihe in Shan Hai Jing.
