From Myth to Life:The Transformation from Genesis of the Daba Sutra to the Deluge Myth and their Cultural Commonness
Originating from the Daba Sutra, Mosuo folk literature plays an important role in the spir-itual life of the Mosuo people. Of all their myths, the folk deluge myth, which came from the genesis myth in the Daba Sutra, is the most representative. It is of great significance, through analyzing the trans-formation process and the differences of the two, to explore views of the Mosuo ancestors about forma-tion of the universe, origin of mankind, imagination and conception of laws of the nature, their traditional ideas regarding love, marriage, ecology embodied by the text, and the cultural value of their sense of community for the Chinese nation.
