《燃比娃取火》是藏缅语民族火起源神话中最具代表性的神话。它通过燃比娃向其父火神蒙格西取火的三次经历,既反映了先民用人的出生来解释火的生成的思维方式,也反映了先民从畏惧火、偶然利用天然火到积极利用天然火并最终发明人工取火法的用火历程。神话通常以象征的方式来表达历史,《燃比娃取火》集中体现了神话的这一特质。

Myth is generally a symbolic expression of the history of a certain people,and the myth Ranbiwa Fetching the Fire is a good case in point.As the myth of the Qiang people,Ranbiwa Fetching the Fire symbolically represents the origin of fire in the Tibeto-Burman tribes.In the myth,the hero Ranbiwa tried three times to fetch the fire from his father Mengexi,the god of fire,not only reflecting the ancient people’s understanding of the generation of fire through the birth of human being,but also displaying the important transformation from man’s fearing fire to his complete control of fire.
