The Sacred-Narrative of the Snake-killing Myth Between Chinese and Japanese Heroes
The concept of"sacred-narrative"transformed by Chen Lianshan aims to prove that ancient Chinese historical myths still retain the belief nature of myths,and continue to play the multiple roles of myths as power discourse and value basis.This theory breaks through the dilemma of the binary opposition between history and myth in the study of Chinese mythology.It not only covers myth,history,folklore and other narrative forms in terms of research scope,but also incorporates the influence of sacred narrative mode into the field of investigation.In the myths of China and Japan,which are both heavily influenced by historicization and politicization,the concept of"sacred-narrative"is both academically and practically feasible.Starting from the snake-killing myths of heroes from China and Japan,and by examining various narrative forms such as myths,history,folklore,etc.,myths are presented as expressions of rulers'discourse power and construction of national values.From this,we can discover Chinese and Japanese myths Similar mechanisms of sacred narrative patterns in the construction of orthodoxy.
