回族神话具有鲜明的中国本土特色,尤其体现在回族神话中出现的“龙神”形象上,这是与伊斯兰教“认主独一”信仰相背离的文化事实,却彰显出回族神话传说在中国本土语境中经过长期的文化适应而形成的本土特征。透过“龙神”形象的文化表层,可以看出历史上回族民间在本土适应中遭遇的文化困境,以及在文化共享中坚守文化本位并最终实现回族文化再造的过程。 The Hui nationality myth has distinctive Chinese local characteristics, especially reflected in the appearance of “Dragon God” in the Hui mythology, which is a cultural fact that departs from the belief of Islam Myths and legends in the native context of China after a long period of cultural adaptation and the formation of local characteristics. Through the cultural surface of the “Dragon God” image, we can see the cultural predicament encountered by the Hui people in the local adaptation in history and the process of keeping the cultural standard in the cultural sharing and eventually realizing the cultural re-creation of the Hui people.
