浅谈龟中国文化中的意蕴

摘要

龟作为四灵之一，在中国化史上占有重要的地位。龟的文化意蕴在中国五千年文明中发生了巨大的变化，由深受人们信仰崇拜的地位，变为受人嘲笑甚至所不齿的对象。乌龟、王八也成了骂人的词汇，龟背负了几千年受人辱骂的罪名实属冤枉。本文主要通过文献检索和文献阅读两种方式收集资料、分析材料并综合手头材料得出个人观点，并通过实地调查得出龟文化意蕴演变的各个时代的不同。在收集材料过程中发现，近年来龟文化的文章相对较少，而研究龟文化意蕴的文章更加少。本文在前人基础上不仅研究其文化意蕴的演变，而且还研究龟的当今社会各个领域对龟的崇拜，以及龟在饮食和影视文化中的重要地位。从中证实龟形象在中国文化中并没有完全被贬低成遭众人唾骂的地步，相反在现代人们的心中龟依然具有相当高的地位。

序论

龟作为四灵之一，在中国化史上占有重要的地位。龟的文化意蕴在中国五千年文明中发生了巨大的变化，由深受人们信仰崇拜的地位，变为受人嘲笑甚至所不齿的对象。乌龟、王八也成了骂人的词汇，龟背负了几千年受人辱骂的罪名，实属冤枉。苍蝇不叮无缝的蛋，遭受这样的误解龟本身其实也要负一定的责任；但这里我们讨论的不是谁的责任的问题，作者想去探讨造成这种误会的原因，使人们重新认识龟这一文化意象，减少对它们的偏见；让他们笨笨可爱的形象重新在人们的头脑中出现，取代其在人们心中龟极不好的印象。

本文主要通过文献检索和文献阅读两种方式收集资料、分析材料并综合手头材料得出个人观点，并通过实地调查得出龟文化意蕴演变的各个时代的不同。在收集材料过程中发现，近年来龟文化的文章相对较少，而研究龟文化意蕴的文章更加少。本文在前人基础上不仅研究其文化意蕴的演变，而且还研究龟的当今社会各个领域对龟的崇拜，以及龟在饮食和影视文化中的重要地位。从中证实龟形象在中国文化中并没有完全被贬低成遭众人唾骂的地
