In the folk literature of the Jingpo people,animals are a very important part.From mythological epics to storytelling,there are many animal-related plots and images.In order to study and analyze the animal population of Jingpo folk literature,the concept of"animal narrative"is used to include animal-related folk literature texts in the scope of research.The presentation of animal narratives in the Jingpo folktales is divided into two parts:mythological epics and storytellings.It shows the situation of several animals appearing in folk literature,and reflects the certain Jingpo culture characteristics in the text.Animal narratives behave differently in different genres,but all have their cultural characteristics.The animal images in the Jingpo animal narrative are more diverse,and the same animal has different images in different stories.It is not easy to distinguish between good and evil.Taking rabbits,dogs,crows,hornbills and snakes as examples,the multi-images of their images in different texts show the Jingpo people's complex understanding of animals and humanity to a certain extent.The Jingpo animal narrative has its historical context and inheritance characteristics.The article attempts to construct the historical scenes of the Jingpo animal narrative and restore its way of generating scenes and dissemination.The environment and habits of the Jingpo people's life are the causes and backgrounds of their animal narratives.Their unique living environment and living habits are reflected in the generation and circulation of their stories.Different narrative contexts also have an impact on their content.The Jingpo ethnic animal narrative embodies a lot of Jingpo cultural characteristics.The Jingpo people think that they can have a true dialogue with the animals.It is a unique cultural thinking under the animism and has been confirmed and embodied in its myth.The Dongsa and Shanguan system appearing in the text is a unique feature of the Jingpo culture.However,there are contradictions between the animal image in the Jingpo national psychology and the modern ecological concept,which requires reflection.Animal narrative can show the harmonious relationship between man and nature.In the equal dialogue and mutual help between humans and animals,we can see the experience and observations of the Jingpo people's long-term experience with nature and anlimals.The current tension in natural relations has a good inspiration and educational significance.
