摘　　要：中国上古神话与仪式关系密切。一般认为,神话是仪式的反映,仪式传承着神话。神话与仪式伴生、融合、互为依存。中国上古神话从创世始祖神话到五帝神话,再到夏商周君王神话,都不同程度地映射了原始巫术及其仪式,包含着浓烈的巫术色彩。这个时期,神话人物的最大特点就是身份的双重性:巫神合一,君神杂糅。因此,围绕巫神的行为活动所形成的各种神话,实际上就是对原始巫术仪式的神圣性解释。Ancient Chinese myths are closely related to rituals.It is generally believed that mythology is a reflection of rituals,and rituals carry myths.Myths and rituals are associated,integrated,and interdependent.Ancient Chinese myths,from the myth of the founder of the worldto the myth of the Five Emperors,and even to the myth of the kings of Xia,Shang and Western Zhou,all mirror primitive witchcraft and its rituals to varying degrees.During this period,the greatest characteristic of mythological figures was the duality of identity:the unity of witches and gods,and the mixture of kings and gods.Therefore,the various myths formed around the activities of witches actually explain the sacredness of primitive witchcraft rituals.
