摘 要
《西游记》作为中国古典文学四大名著之一，蕴含着丰富的神话元素与深刻的文化内涵。本研究旨在深入剖析《西游记》中的神话元素及其所承载的文化意义，通过文本细读、比较研究和文化人类学方法，系统梳理小说中神祇体系、仙佛形象、法术神通等神话元素的构成特点，探讨其与中国传统文化思想的内在联系。研究发现，《西游记》构建了一个以儒释道三教融合为特征的神话世界，其中神仙体系既体现了道教的等级秩序，又融入了佛教的因果报应观念，更渗透着儒家的道德伦理思想。通过对取经团队成员性格设定及成长历程的分析，揭示了作者对人性善恶、修行悟道的独特思考。特别值得注意的是，作品中诸多具有象征意义的法宝器物，不仅丰富了故事性，更隐喻着古人对宇宙自然的认知智慧。本研究创新性地从跨学科视角出发，将神话学理论与文学批评相结合，为理解《西游记》提供了新的解读路径，深化了对该作品文化价值的认识，为中国古代神话研究提供了有益参考。

Abstract
"As one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature, Journey to the West is rich in mythological elements and profound cultural connotations. This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the mythological elements in Journey to the West and their cultural significance by employing close reading, comparative studies, and methods from cultural anthropology. It systematically examines the characteristics of the divine system, the images of immortals and Buddhas, and the magical powers presented in the novel, exploring their intrinsic connections with traditional Chinese thought. The research reveals that Journey to the West constructs a mythological world characterized by the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. The hierarchy of deities reflects the Taoist order while incorporating Buddhist concepts of karma and retribution, and permeated with Confucian ethical principles. Through the analysis of the personality traits and growth trajectories of the pilgrims, the author's unique reflections on human nature, good and evil, and the path to enlightenment are unveiled. Notably, the numerous symbolic treasures and artifacts in the work not only enrich the narrative but also me taphorically embody the ancients' wisdom in understanding the universe and nature. Innovatively, this study adopts an interdisciplinary perspective, combining theories of mythology with literary criticism, offering new interpretive pathways for understanding Journey to the West, deepening the recognition of its cultural value, and providing valuable references for the study of ancient Chinese mythology."
