中国远古神话一般坚持北方正统、黄帝正统,而且与中国文化的起源和走向具有重要联系。其实远古神话于唐宋以前几经修改、置换,已非原貌。本文围绕中国人种起源、文明起源、原始图腾、炎黄合称、神话遗产、谱系整合等具有内在关联的六个问题,收罗、考证诸多远古神话资料,并结合考古学最新成果,力图还原历史,申明中国文化的起源是在南方,因历史话语权被北方掌控,中国文化最终以黄帝文化和儒家文化为正统,失去了炎帝文化里一些宝贵的东西。 Ancient Chinese myths generally adhere to the orthodoxy of the North, the Yellow Emperor orthodoxy, but also with the origin and direction of Chinese culture is an important link. In fact, the ancient myths in the Tang and Song dynasties by several changes, replacement, no original appearance. This article focuses on six issues intrinsically related to the origin of human race, the origins of civilization, the primitive totem, the combination of Yan and Huang, the mythological inheritance, and the pedigree integration. It collects and studies many ancient mythological materials and combines with the latest achievements in archeology in an attempt to restore history. Affirming that the origins of Chinese culture are in the south, the right to historical discourse is under the control of the north, Chinese culture eventually takes the Yellow Emperor culture and Confucian culture as orthodoxy, and has lost some precious things in Yan Emperor’s culture.
