The formation of Marxism is greatly influenced by ancient Greek civilization,which promotes the development of the western civilization.The thought way of myth is a culture which human beings formed in the long-term process of productive labor and social organization.It is also a way of seeking liberation when people face living predicaments.Mythical metaphor records human history.we can understand the development of the society through the myth at that time.The mythical roles have been carried on the preliminary processing and processing the outside world.They have been invented product tools and organized social order,which gave birth to the freedom,equality and aesthetics.Rational thoughts has been already germinated and developed.Because of low productivity at that time,people had a relatively low level of understanding about the society,could not explain many phenomena.They would think the power of development of society and their own fate was staying at the other world.Reading the Complete Works of Max and Angles,I find that almost every roll quotes Greek mythology allusions.Marx's rational thought is absorption and transcendence of mythical metaphor.Myth focused on the thought of the salvation and heroism,embodied the pursuit of mankind internally,namely freedom and liberty and have a disaster eliminated andhappy life.Marx criticized the mythical metaphor.he thought the production is no longer a natural process.Productive forces are the decisive factor of social development.Labor liberation is the final conquest of nature.Finally we will get the goal of freedom and liberation of mankind.The article focus on analyzing that Marx how can not only to absorb of mythical metaphor critically,but to hold on the idea of rational thought,and towards the reality to seek the answers to the human liberation in the material life.The understanding of reality of the mythical metaphor is unscientific,we can understand the culture value of the Marxist philosophy in a dialectic way under the perspective of historical materialism.Myth was born under the condition of certain material productivity,it was fit in with its own cultural and historical forms.The mythical characters are the manifestation of social relations.Myth is always a sustenance and symbol of the liberation when people to face the difficulties in the long-term historical stage.Marx thought everyone is realistic.If we want to achieve the goal of liberation in the real world,people only use the realistic means.Analyzing the meaning and the significance of mythical metaphor to Marx's rational thought,I do not to create a new kind of religious requirements,but to derive the beneficial factors from Myth.We should analyses mythical metaphor under the horizon of the historicalmaterialism and understand Marx's rational thought is the absorption and transcendence of the mythical metaphor from the perspective of human liberation.In all,I would analyze the function and meaning of Marx how to guide the correct cultural orientation,understand the cultural value and man's ultimate liberation.
