Yue He
(Yunnan Normal University)
Paper short abstract
Religion and literature are among the earliest products of the human spirit, expressing people's thinking, experience, ideals and so on. "Gu", meaning the egg gives birth to the woman. I wish to analyze the Naxi Dongba teaching and the influence of Buddhism on the Mr Gu mythology.
Paper long abstract
Religious artistic images derive from literature, literature from religious theme, plot, and feelings. Dongba is the native religion of the Naxi nationality, and has also had a great influence on literature. In Naxi oral literature "Mr Gu mi" is considered the father of the female ancestor. In this paper I wish to show how the Dongba tradition influenced the "Mr Gu mi" mythology.
