The main content of this article is a study of the pre-late critical theory of mythic structure by the French cultural critic and anthropologist Lévi-Strauss.By revealing the superficial and superficial characteristics of the mythic structure created by Lévi-Strauss,the article uncovers the theoretical cores of his theory,such as the search for commonality and difference,as well as analogical thinking and classification.The first chapter focuses on the application of structuralism to literary criticism.The first chapter focuses on the influence of structuralist linguistics,especially its branch of Prague phonology,on structuralist theories of mythology,as well as on Lie’s own pre-theoretical originality,the mythic formula,which focuses on a dynamic transformation between constants and variables,in the face of the voluminous studies of Lévi-Strauss’ theories The author cites the classic myths of Oedipus and Pasival from a coeval perspective,in the face of a vast body of theoretical work by Levi-Strauss and the study of other national and regional mythological texts in a structuralist context.In this regard,I have included a separate section on ’Cultural Coding’,in which I take the analysis of classical mythological texts from North and South America,which are full of cultural meaning,as an example,to illustrate how Lie’s structuralist perspective is based on In this section,I present an analysis of classical mythological texts from North and South America with cultural implications.As a cultural sociologist and anthropologist,Levi-Strauss found that human language was particularly closely related to thought,so he returned to the soil where myths were born to uncover the unique structure of thought underlying mythological texts.In the second chapter,the author first identifies mythical thinking with thinking under the general definition of science,clarifying the characteristics and inner rationality of mythical thinking,and then attempts to analysis the inner mechanism that mythical thinking follows in the creation of mythical texts,focusing on a unique way of processing information,i.e.analogical classification,and through theoretical combing the familiar "The theoretical development of the familiar ’dichotomy’ as the underlying logical law of this categorization completes the analysis of the deep structure of myth.On the basis of the previous article,the author of the third chapter digs deeper into the later development of Lévi-Strauss’ theory from the two clues of linguistics and myth criticism.Later in his research career,in addition to the comparative study of mythological texts and mythological plays,he had also studied primitive art form masks and so on.In Lévi-Strauss’ theoretical world,other literary genres such as poetry,fiction,music and the plastic arts all share,to some extent,the legacy of mythology,and a number of Lévi-Strauss’ theoretical ideas continue to have a profound impact on literary criticism today.From ’energy’ to the metaphorical nature of mythic thinking and metaphor in literary criticism;from ’analogy’ to the stereotypical ’miniature model’ to the concepts of archetypes and material media in literary criticism,and again from ’metaphor and analogy’ to the notion of the ’myth’ in literary criticism.From ’metaphor’ to stereotypical ’miniature models’ to the concepts of archetypes and material media in literary criticism,we again explore Lévi-Strauss’ theory from the perspectives of ’metaphor and analogy’ in an attempt to strengthen the exposition of Lévi-Strauss’ theory.
