毛巧晖、王晴:《日本盘瓠神话研究的视角与方法》,《文化遗产》2023年第6期。

【内容摘要】20世纪初至40年代,盘瓠神话及相关文献作为文化个案与中国民族史的一部分引起欧美和日本学者的关注。全球殖民体系下西方传教士对东南亚及中国南方少数民族地区的考察、日本东洋学的兴起、照叶树林文化与绳文农耕文化的发现等推动了盘瓠神话的跨国家、跨民族、跨文化研究。日本盘瓠神话研究归属于其东洋学知识谱系,以东亚生态地理及照叶树林文化为基础,关注中日山地民族围绕盘瓠产生的世界观、生态观与身份认同;研究方法上注重对瑶人文书的细读,藉此阐述书写与政治权力、历史记忆的内在关联。日本盘瓠神话研究史是盘瓠神话学术史的重要组成部分,对从全局与整体把握盘瓠神话影响力具有重要意义,并可为中国少数民族文学研究提供可资借鉴的视角和维度。

Perspectives and Methods: Research on Panhu Myth in Japan

Mao Qiaohui, Wang Qing

Abstract: In the early 20th century to the 1940s, the Panhu myth and related literature, as a cultural case and part of Chinese national history, attracted the attention of scholars from Europe, America and Japan. The investigation of Southeast Asia and areas where ethnic minorities lived in southern China by western missionaries under the global colonial system, the rise of Oriental studies in Japan, and the discovery of the Laurisilva Culture and Jyoumon agriculture culture, have promoted the transnational, trans-ethnic, and cross-cultural research on the Panhu myth. Research on Panhu myth in Japan belongs to its Oriental studies knowledge system, based on the ecological geography of East Asia and the Laurisilva Culture, focusing on the worldviews, ecological views, and identity of the mountainous ethnic groups of China and Japan around Panhu. In terms of research methods, it emphasizes the close reading of Yao documents to explain the inherent connection between writing and political power, historical memory. As an important part of the academic history of Panhu myth, the history of Japanese Panhu myth research is of great significance to learn the influence of Panhu myth from a holistic perspective, providing a valuable perspective and dimension for the study of Chinese minority ethnic literature.
