从图腾崇拜到自然崇拜：人与自然对话的走势

神话语言对宗教情感的培养是由万物有灵的“元语言”决定的。当“元语言”出现“多语”的要求时,其叙述语言向自然崇拜权力话语的接近,一方面造就着自然神故事的丰富性,另一方面自然神的故事也在图腾崇拜的话语中得到消解。对于自然崇拜而言,图腾崇拜具有特殊的意义,图腾崇拜是向自然崇拜过渡的必需语言。要全面地解构自然崇拜内在的语言结构,则必须从解构图腾崇拜入手。

From Totem Worship to Nature Worship: the Trend of Dialogues between Man and Nature

Cultivation of emotions for religion through the language of myth is decided by the "metalanguage" with a belief that everything in the world has a nimbus.

As far as nature worship is concerned, totem worship is of special value. Totem worship is the language vital to the transition to nature worship. A thorough understanding of the internal language structure of nature worship must take the interpretation of totem worship as a starting point.
