自從地球有生命以來,水就形成了這個世界。水的地理位置顯示出人類定居的地方,因有充沛的水源,偉大文明便由此掘起。在歷史長河中,水既是人類的奴僕,也是人類的主人。遠古時代的人類,接受自然現象賦予的理念與感情,以及各種文化社會創造出類似的神話。早期的人類,把任何大自然事物以象徵方式來吸引人類好奇心。水象徵偉大母親而聯想到生育,水是生命之泉,淨化與再生的關鍵。無論如何,水也使人聯想到順從與毀滅。 道家把水視為謙卑,因為水總是流入最低處。在中國人的哲學中,水是柔弱的,如女性的溫柔,柔能克剛。水在宗教上有象徵的意義,在基督教,水是用來洗滌罪惡。對猶太人,水是純潔的象徵。對印度人,水是繁殖的象徵。這篇文章主要的目的,是從象徵性觀點探討在中西文化裏對水的比較研究。首先回溯有關的文獻,探討水在東西神話中的理論背景,進一步,探討水在哲學與文學中所扮演的重要地位。在論文結束之前,有關水的神話,本文為學生提供有效的教學法。
Ever since the beginning of life on earth, the world has been shaped by the presence of water. The geographical location of water largely dictates where man can settle, and indeed, where water supplies were plentiful, great civilizations have arisen. Throughout history, water has, on the one hand, been a slave to the people, whilst on the other hand, their master. The ancients invariably endowed natural phenomena with will and feeling, with culturally-diverse societies creating strangely similar myths. Early people symbolized everything that appealed to the human mind, since all of nature was revealed to them in symbols. Water was symbolic of the Great Mother and associated with birth, the feminine principle, the prima material, fertility and refreshment; however, water was also associated with submersion and destruction. Taoists regard water as the symbol of humility, since it always seeks the lowest place, whilst in Chinese philosophy 'weak overcomes strong, soft overcomes hard'; thus, water is soft, yielding and pliant, as a woman should be. Water also has symbolic meanings in many religions. Water is used to symbolize the washing away of sin in Christian baptism; whilst in the Jewish faith, water is a symbol of purity, and to Hindus, a symbol of fertility. This paper discusses the various meanings of water in a mythical context, dealing with the related literature, theoretical considerations, the symbolic meanings of water, water in western and oriental mythology, water in philosophy, and water and literature. An approach to teaching students about water in a mythical context is also suggested prior to closing the paper with some concluding remarks.
