《史记·高祖本纪》记载的开国之君神话，当然是超现实、超自然的，是在特定的社会政治文化语境中，按照当时的习俗、信仰，建构出来的。但这并不是说，所有的故事都是事后伪造的。故事中的某些元素，可能基于当时的客观事实。而秦末社会政治的风云变幻，群众寻觅真命天子的心理需求，形成了建构政治神话的丰富语境。刘邦有强烈的“预言自我实现”倾向。他以极强的自信心、敏锐的政治嗅觉、丰富的人生阅历和圆熟的人际沟通能力，对其徒众乃至更大范围的群众发出较强的心理暗示。在有意无意的心理激荡中，一连串神话被建构出来和传播开来，超现实、超自然的故事，获得了现实的、俗世的生存空间，在社会和政治活动中发挥了实际的作用，参与了历史的创造。

The nature of mythical tales of Liu Bang, the founding father of the Han Empire recorded in the ＂Basic Annual of the Gaozu＂ of the Grand Scribe＇ s Records is no doubt surrealistic and supernatural. The tales were constructed in a specific social, political and cultural context and reflected the mindset and common beliefs of the time. However, we by no means suggest that these tales were nothing but fabricated afterward. Some elements of the tales could be derived from historical facts. The uncertainty and unpredictability of socio -political conditions and the psychological demand seeking for ＂the one＂ who would save the world during the collapse of the Qin Empire had materialize a favorable context for construction of political myth. Liu Bang possessed a strong sense of ＂self- fulfilling prophecy＂. With his well -built self- confidence, sharp political sensitivity, rich experience in life and powerful the Heaven＇ s Mandate which greatly encouraged persuasion skills, Liu Bang made psychological suggestions of his followers then the public at large. Intentionally or unintentionally, a series of mythical tales of Liu Bang＇ s Mandate were then constructed and widely disseminated. The surrealistic and supernatural tales thus came into existence in real and secular world. They had played genuine role in social and political movement and made contribution to the making of the Han Empire.
