浅谈"防风神话"研究的若干问题——兼与樱井龙彦教授商榷

日本学者樱井龙彦对“防风神话”研究学者的方法进行了批判,认为他们违反中国传统文化,是采用“新方式”“重新创造防风旧传统”,“怀疑这是在某种意图下重新编制而成的故事”。但事实上,对于新发现的防风神话,神话学者们为辨真伪,都进行了深入了“田野调查”,且如实采录。这些神话,是“目前尚在群众口头流传的活态神话”,而绝不是新时期“重新编制而成的故事”。

Several Questions Concerning the Researches on Fangfeng Myths——Discussion with professor Sakura tatu hiko

Sakura tatu hiko,a Japanese scholar,criticizes the methods of the myth scholars in their researches on the Fangfeng Myths,claiming that they have violated the traditional Chinese culture for they have employed "a mew method" to "recreate the old tradition in attacking winds".He doubts those stories were remade up with certain intensions.But in fact,toward the newly discovered Fangfeng Myths,the scholars engaged in "field investigations" and fact interviews in order to determine whether it is a true one or false one.All those myths are "the living myths still on the lips of the masses at present" rather than the newly compiled stories in the new age.
