<淮南子>一书,对神话的搜罗相当丰富,中国古代著名的四大神话"共工怒触不周山"、"女娲补天"、"嫦娥奔月"、"后羿射日"都保存其中,是研究上古神话的珍贵资料.但因<淮南子>是部理论著作,它的目的是在为汉王朝提供一套以道家思想为核心的治国方略,这些神话在书中是作为论据使用的,这就使得<淮南子>一书中所保存下来的上古神话历史化倾向十分明显,就<淮南子>而言,神话的历史化主要体现在神话英雄与始祖神向人间圣王转变使神话成为历史;神话的伦理化和仙化话转换了神话故事的存在时空;通过凸显神话的尚德精神与政治色彩使神话发生质变等个方面.

Huainan Zi is a great colletion of myth and valuable material in the research of ancient Chinese myth, which contains four famous ancient myths: Gonggong collided with Buzhou Mountain, Nuwa mends the sky, Chang' e is flying to the moon, Houyi shoots the sun. However it is a theoretical work aiming to provide Han Dynasty with the basic state policy with Taoism as its core. The fact that these myths served as evidences in the book made it easy to notice the historicized tendency of ancient myths. As for Huainan Zi the tendency is reflected by the change that mythical heroes and Ancestor of God transformed into holy king of the world and qualitative changes caused by highlighting the moral-centered spirit and political flavor.
