垃民俗学丄,神话是指关于人类世界变迁个神圣故事。[1]垃广义丄,“神话”可以指任何古老传说,[2] 藉由故事个形式來表達民族个意识形态。[3] 神话来源於原始社会时期,人类通过推理搭想象对自然现象作出解释。但是由於昰些个知識水準邪氣低下,葛咾经常笼罩着一层神秘个色彩。

女娲与伏羲

神话是人们借助於幻想企图征服自然个表现。神话中神个形象大多具有超人个力量,是原始人类个认识搭愿望个理想化。

许多民族个原始社会个历史,儕是从神话故事开头个。神话中个人物大多来自原始人类个自身形象。狩猎比较发达个部落,所创造个神话人物大多与狩猎有关;农耕发达个部落所创造个神话人物多与农业有关。神话中个英雄也以刀斧、弓箭为武器。从神话中,可以看到先民个一些事迹。

無论是世界文明发生最早地区个原始社会民族,还是当今世界上还处在原始社会个民族,佢拉流传个许多神话故事都大同小异。

神话也是文学个先河,是人类最早个幻想性口头散文作品。譬如垃《庄子·應帝王》裏向:“泰氏,其卧徐徐,具觉于于,一以己为马,一以己为牛。”

神话具有一定个地域性搭区域性,弗同个文明或者民族儕有得自家所理解个神话含义[4]

"More precisely, mythic discourse deals in master categories that have multiple referents: levels of the cosmos, terrestrial geographies, plant and animal species, logical categories, and the like. Their plots serve to organize the relations among these categories and to justify a hierarchy among them, establishing the rightness (or at least the necessity) of a world in which heaven is above earth, the lion the king of beasts, the cooked more pleasing than the raw." 
  4. 胡适在《白话文学史》里说:“‘三百篇’里……嘸沒神话个遗迹。”
