The Life Idea In Distortion Myth And It's Influence To Novel Idea

Both the primitive and modern man can not avoid considering the life idea. But life idea is a part of world outlook. The human can not decide the birth and the death. Some philosophers would not like to acknowledge the fact of death. To this natural phenomenon they give different explanations. Some even adopts the means which evades, places the fantasy and the expectation to continue the life. That reflect human'confusion about the life and death. With the development of medicine , people can make their life longer than before with medical methods, but the primitive man could not do this. Because of the primitive psychology and the primitive thought, they repose the hope in the primitive belief. They created the distortion myth which Death was reactivated. This is the reason why the distortion emerged.Cassill said that the distortion myth is one kind of "the sophistry conceals". He said that the death was not the end of life. It only means the change of life form. One kind life form turned to another kind. Between the life and the death there is not strict distinction or we can say that the distinction is not very clear. Death and life these two words even can replace each other. Life and death is a common topic to every nation. Finding the reason of death and the need of regeneration is a first and hot problem for people. The transition from death to regeneration was fulfilled by the transition from human to dying object. The entire distortion myth reflect the rejection and the denial to the death phenomenon, the belief to the life reactivating and the life circulation.The myth, is not a simple literature style but the complex crystallization of primitive human psychology life and the social life. It is the synthesis performance of primitive culture. The myth is the art source and deep soil of literature. The antiquity myth is the earliest artistic form of human. It breeds the seed of literature thought and the various kind of literary styles. Each kind of literary style formation and the development of our country follow the influence of myth more or less. The novel is not exceptional. The Chinese myth displayed the national characteristics in the form and the content. They all affect the novel deeply, such as mutual life, space and time idea, tragedy color and so on.
