摘　　要：作为与现实平行的虚拟技术,“元宇宙”正在以新型的范式架构人们的记忆并引发新的奇思异想。它不仅是一种技术表象,更是借助技术阐释世界的一种社会化新经验,是对现实主体的夸张式宣泄,对个体存在经验的新操纵。然而真实世界与元宇宙世界如何构成新的媒介域,这需要从人作为主体去回应和重塑新型社会关系。将元宇宙与古代创世神话并置,可以看出,元宇宙与中国古代创世神话的逻辑建构有着相似的模式,两者都意在开辟一个与现实平行的空间,以求解人与宇宙时空的完美关系。而从媒介域角度而言,上古神话叙事与元宇宙之间是信息交流与控制的迭代——一个用语言文本演绎,一个用虚拟技术赋权,并起着配置社会结构、建构驱动社会组织的媒介域功用。二者不同的是,创世神话意在神幻的世界中建构“天人合一”的“道”,其宗旨是实现现实世界中天道、地道、人道、神道的认知统一;而元宇宙则仍沉浸在概念“自嗨”之中,尚需在主体世界生成新潜能,以体现技术闯入社会生态中的地位和角色功能。In 2021,the concept of the metaverse sparked a slew of new investigations.As a result,the metaverse is a new socialized experience explained by technology,an arrogant catharsis of the real subject,and a new manipulation of the individual existence experience.However,how the real and metaverse worlds that comprise the new media domain should respond to and reshape the new social relationship with the human as the subject.The metaverse has similar experiences with the logical construction of ancient Chinese creation myths,drawing on traditional humanistic experience.To contrast the metaverse with the creation myth and to comprehend ancient mythology is a historical gesture of the metaverse,both of which are intended to open up a parallel space to reality in order to solve the perfect relationship dimension between man and the universe in time and space.The original myth narrative has two metaverse manifestations,one in virtual vision and one in text interpretation.The creation myth,on the other hand,seeks to build the“Tao”of“harmony between man and nature”in a parallel world to reality.Its purpose is to realize the cognitive unity of heaven,humanity,the earth,and God.The Metaverse,on the other hand,is consumed by self-aggrandizement and still requires new potentials in the main world.
