Abstract

The symbol of the dragon is an important element of the cultural and historical identity of the Chinese people. This article attempts to analyze the symbol of the dragon in the genesis of Chinese philosophy, particularly in its cosmogonic and cosmological systems. The article shows that the mythological symbol of the dragon did not disappear at an early stage of the formation of Chinese civiliza­tion; on the contrary, it was fixed in the corpus of categories of philosophical thought and was used to express the cosmological laws and principles of Tao. The symbol of dragon can also be found in 4 symbols (or 4 images 四象, si xi­ang), 5 elements (五行, wu xing), 6 harmonies-correspondences (六合, liu he), 7 stars (七星, qi xing), 8 trigrams (八卦, ba gua) and 64 hexagrams (六十四卦, liu shi si gua). The article concludes that the symbol of the dragon lays at the very origins of Chinese culture since it expresses its main archetypal meanings; it embodies the naturalness (⾃然, zi ran) and the cycle of universal changes.

中国古代宇宙格局中的龙象征
龙的象征是中国人文化和历史身份的重要组成部分。本文试图分析龙在中国哲学起源中的象征,特别是在它的宇宙观和宇宙学系统中。文章指出,龙的神话符号在中国文明形成的早期并没有消失;相反,它被固定在哲学思想范畴的语料库中,并被用来表达道的宇宙学定律和原理。龙的符号也可以在4个符号(或4个图像)中找到四象, xi),5个元素(五行, 吴星),6个和声对应(六合, 刘鹤),7颗星(七星, 齐行),八卦(八卦, 八卦)和六十四卦(六十四卦, 刘师思瓜)。文章认为,龙的象征是中国文化的起源,因为它表达了其主要的原型意义;它体现了自然(⾃然, 子然)和宇宙变化的循环。
