神话是人类最早的幻想性口头散文作品,是人类童年时期的产物。神话产生的基础是远古时代生产力水平低下和人们为争取生存、提高生产能力而产生的认识自然、支配自然的积极要求。因此,神话往往表现了古代人民对自然力的斗争和对理想的追求,代表着一个民族的美好愿望和价值取向。所以,越是历史悠久的民族,它的神话就越动人。世界上有很多国家或民族都有自己的神话,但是,只有希腊神话、印度神话、北欧神话、埃及神话及中国神话等才算是真正系统化的神话。 Myth is the earliest human fantasy oral prose works, is the product of human childhood. The basis of mythology is the low level of productivity in ancient times and the positive demand of people to understand nature and control nature in order to survive and improve their productive capacity. Therefore, the myth often shows the struggle of the ancient people against the forces of nature and the pursuit of ideals, and represents the good wishes and values ​​of a nation. Therefore, the more a nation with a long history, the more moving its mythology is. Many countries and peoples in the world have their own myths. However, only Greek myths, Indian myths, Nordic myths, Egyptian myths and Chinese myths are the real systematic myths.
