The Yellow River Basin is the birthplace of Chinese culture,and the Fuxi myth is widely spread in the large river basin.This article not only takes the geographical division of the Yellow River Basin in objective cognition as the research scope,but also takes the cultural region spread by Fuxi myth as the main point,focusing on the inner development context.Current academics believe that Tianshui in Gansu is the birthplace of Fuxi culture.With the migration of tribes and the spread of culture,Fuxi mythology spread from west to east along the Yellow River Basin through Shanxi and Shaanxi to Henan and Shandong.Therefore,this article selects Tianshui in Gansu,Huaiyang and Xinmi in Henan as the main inspection sites,and involves other popular places in Shanxi Ji County and Jincheng.According to their own geographical environment and historical culture,these regions have formed similar themes and similar plots,but each has its own emphasis on Fuxi Myth.Fuxi myth persists in modern society with new narrative strategies such as festival rituals and cultural landscapes,and has become an important resource and cultural driving force forregional construction.This article is divided into five chapters.The first chapter introduces the purpose and significance of the topic selection,from Fuxi's original culture research,mythology and legend research,image archeological research,belief and sacrifice research.It sorts out the relevant academic history of Fuxi myth,summarizes and summarizes the current research on Fuxi myth,and uses this as the breakthrough point of the thesis,and discusses the research methods and sources of this article.The second chapter is the study of the image of Fuxi's ancestor god.It is divided into two sections.The first section is the mythic narrative of Fuxi as an independent god.Fuxi is the creation image of ancient gods.The second section is a mythological narrative that is attached to the son-in-law.Through the interpretation of the image of Fuxi son-in-law in the static Han portraits,the classic literature is compared with the oral narrative to explain the reproductive worship and primitive naturalconcepts behind the image of the ancestor.Chapter Three is the study of the image of Fuxi's cultural deity.This chapter discusses from two aspects.One is to sort out various academic judgments about Fuxi's era in today's academic circles,analyze the historical and cultural background of Fuxi's activities,and compare archaeological relics with language narratives.The connection confirms Fuxi's humanistic image as a tribal cultural hero.The second is the interpretation of Fuxi's cultural achievements,which mainly include the seven great achievements of drawing gossip,making books,engaging in marriage,taming six animals,tasting herbs,making lutes,and making music.Chapter Four is the study of the image of Fuxi's protection god.It mainly focuses on the belief space of Fuxi's myth.From the official orthodox sacrifice to the prosperity of folk beliefs,Fuxi's image of the emperor on earth has been established and consolidated.Its main religious function in rural society is Seek good luck,beg your son,and get rid of disease.Mud dogs and bears are also important expressions of the people's belief in Fuxi.Fuxi gradually evolved into a omnipotent local deity that meets people's aspirations for life.The fifth chapter is the contemporary interpretation of Fuxi myth.This chapter mainly studies the two forms of Fuxi myth in today's society.One is a government-led festival festival.With the cooperation of the national government,cultural elites and local people,Fuxi The sacrifices of sacrifices have evolved into root and ancestral cultural activities at the national and national level,and have strong cultural influence.The other is the construction of cultural landscapes.Taking Xinmi,Henan as an example,it has deep Fuxi history and culture,including traditional temples,inscriptions,and folklore.At the same time,it also forms a theme cultural tourism park with Fuxi as a cultural symbol.Analysis explain the existence form and cultural connotation of Fuxi culture inheritance and development in the new era.Based on field investigations,this paper selects the typical regions and narrative themes of Fuxi mythology,combines Fuxi literature in classic records,and sorts out,summarizes and integrates the culture of Fuxi 'sdifferent mythological image types according to Fuxi 's three narrative images Intension and expression.Under the joint shaping of the government,cultural elites and the people,the original and natural cultural color in Fuxi 's mythological image has gradually been weakened,and the regionality has been weakened.
