摘 要:《西游记》作为中国古典文学的瑰宝,蕴含丰富的神话元素与深厚的民间信仰内涵,为研究中国传统宗教文化提供了独特视角。本研究以《西游记》中的神话体系为核心,结合历史文献与民俗学理论,探讨其神话叙事与民间信仰之间的互动关系。《西游记》中的神祇体系不仅继承了道教与佛教的传统,还融入了大量地方性信仰元素,形成了独特的宗教融合现象。小说中的神话叙事通过象征与隐喻的方式,展现了民众对自然力量的认知及对生命意义的追求。《西游记》不仅是文学作品,更是理解中国传统宗教文化变迁的关键文本,其神话元素与民间信仰的交织体现了中国文化多元一体的特点,为后续相关领域的研究奠定了基础。

Abstract: As a treasure of Chinese classical literature, Journey to the West contains rich mythological elements and profound folk belief connotation, which provides a unique perspective for the study of Chinese traditional religious culture. This study takes the mythological system in Journey to the West as the core, combined with historical documents and folklore theory, to explore the interactive relationship between its mythological narrative and folk belief. The system of gods in Journey to the West not only inherits the traditions of Taoism and Buddhism, but also integrates a large number of local belief elements, forming a unique phenomenon of religious integration. The mythological narration in the novel shows the people's cognition of the force of nature and their pursuit of the meaning of life by means of symbolism and me taphor. Journey to the West is not only a literary work, but also a key text for understanding the changes of Chinese traditional religious culture. The interweaving of mythological elements and folk beliefs reflects the characteristics of the integration of Chinese culture, which lays a foundation for subsequent research in related fields.
