摘　　要：由《日本书纪·神代卷》可见,奈良时期的日本官员深受中国道家创世神话的影响,频繁引入阴阳、五行、乾坤、太极、三才、八卦等易学概念来建构自己的创世神话。与之不同,德川时代的神道家和儒者主张儒神一致、神道与《易》理同属天地自然之道。他们以《易》理解释宇宙生成,以太极、阴阳、五行附会天神七代神祇,对《神代卷》予以儒学性质的诠释,进而为日本创世神话提供了朱子学的形而上架构。he Japanese creation myth described in the Jindai no maki(Chapters on the Age of the Gods)of the Nihon shoki(Chronicles of Japan,720)was strongly influenced by such Yijing-related concepts as taiji(Supreme Ultimate),yinyang(the two complementary and contradictory forces in the universe),qiankun(first two trigrams representing heaven and earth),sancai(three powers or realms of the universe:heaven,earth,man),wuxing(five phases or agents),and bagua(eight trigrams).The Japanese creation myth was later Confucianized in the Tokugawa period(1603-1868)when Japanese Confucian and Shinto scholars provided the Neo-Confucian metaphysical underpinning for Shinto mythology.Based on a close reading of the Jindai no maki,this study aims to investigate how Yijing-related concepts were used to construct the Japanese creation myth and how Tokugawa Confucian and Shinto scholars further elaborated upon it.
