漢代感生神話所傳達的宇宙觀及其在政教上的意義

The Cosmology and Political Meaning of the Tele-Fertility Myths in Han Dynasty

本篇文章探討漢代感生神話的所反映的宇宙觀及其在政教上的運用與影響。全文主要分為四個部分，第一部分探討漢代感生神話的特色及其與原始思維的關係。第二部分，探討感生神話中的宇宙觀及宇宙圖式。漢代在對應宇宙論及法天定制的想法下，北斗及星神信仰十分凸顯，並發展出五帝降氣感生始祖與眾庶之說。以此解釋個人稟氣、性情、命運，並深切影響產育觀及政治上的受命說。第三部分透過聖王特異的體貌及神異事蹟，進一步說明其與宇宙觀、稟氣之關係。最後探討漢代感生說產生的文化與政治背景，及感生說在政治上的運用和影響。

This thesis discusses the cosmology of tele-fertility myths in Han Dynasty and the application and influence in politics. It divided into four parts. At the first part, it debates the character and the relationship between original thinking of the tele-fertility myths in Han Dynasty. Second, it discusses the cosmology and world charts in the tele-fertility myths. In Han Dynasty, people believe in the Plough and gods of stars very much beneath the thinking of the corresponding cosmological and the thinking of ＂the legal system was imitated from heaven＂. Through the thinking, the statement of ＂five emperors gave birth to people's ancestors and their brothers＂ was brought forth. The statement can explain the cause of human's genius, temper, and destiny. It also deeply affects the raising view and statement of divine right in politics. The third part, it shows the relationship between sacred king's specific appearance and miraculous deeds with cosmology and genius. Finally, it discusses the cultural and political background of the tele-fertility myths in Han Dynasty, and the application and influence in politics.
