摘要
本文在前人研究的基础上 ,论证西王母有三类 :一是历史上确曾存在过的人 ;二是历史题材小说中的人物形象 ;三是神话传说中的神仙。作为人的西王母应是西周初期活动在环青海湖地区的羌人母 (幕、膜、穆 )部落首领 ,不一定是女性。《山海经》中对西王母形象的描绘是笼罩在神之光环下傩文化现象的记录 ,现存同仁县年都乎村土族的“於菟”舞极可能是这种傩文化的“活化石”。
Based on the forerunners' research,the author of this paper deems that Xiwangmu had the three categories:that is,the person who was present in history;the figure images in the historical novels and the supernatural being in the legend of the fairy tale.The Xiwangmu who was regarded as a person should be a tribal head of Qiang people's Mu moved in the areas surrounded by Qinghai Lake in the initial stage of the Western Zhou Dynasty,and was not necessary to be a female sex.The images of Xiwangmu in Shanghaijing was shrouded in the supernatural halo,the extant Wutu dance of the Tus in Nianduhu Village,Tongren County might extremely be this activation fossil of Nuo culture.
