Literary anthropological data indicate that, on the meaning of noumenon, the "egg" totem and "oviparous" type myths characterize the origin, profundity, and wisdom of humen living perspectives in a mythical mode of thinking: firstly mark the relationship of blood realization between humen and nature; secondly emphasize that the passion of humen will always exist on the world. Historical theorists believe that "primitive religion is the element of social development" , "the art and literature developed under the influence of primitive religion does not taint the correctness of materialistic historicism" ; Marx holds that mythical mode of thinking (i.e. thinking of practice - spirit) is also the way to grasp the truth of the world. Base on this, we can believe that the "egg" totem and "oviparous" type myths imply the power wisdom of cosmic civilization, and provide effective prescription for the modern people falling into "rationality dissimilation" and "civilization crisis" . Take the "egg" totem and "oviparous" type myths of ethnic groups of Zhuang and Dong language and southeast Asia as the logic origin, the article tempts to analysis the restrictions of the meaning of original cosmic beings embedded in the "egg" totem and "oviparous" type myths, when it restricts the existence of national culture.The article holds that the lacking of existing research bases, lies in the disagreement on the mythical mode of thinking, and the ones of theoretical method, only discuss from literature, folklore, sociology, and ethnology, the wisdom and meaning embedded in the "egg" totem and "oviparous" type myths are neglected. To correct the error, and fully realize the dynamic action of myth wisdom, it will be helpful for people to expand the living perspectives, and advocate poetic living on the world.
