摘要早在人类出现之前,动物就已经在地球上繁衍生息。人类在远古时代生活所需只能依靠自然的恩赐,因此,狩猎成为其谋生的最重要途径。他们竭尽所能地改进工具以追捕更多的动物。从那时起人类就与动物有了最直接和密切的关系。随着人类文明的发展,许多与动物有关的词语应运而生,动物文化也随之被人类记载。无论是在生产生生活方面,还还是在精神文文化方面,动动物与人类的的生活都戚戚戚相关。不同的民族赋予予动物不同的的象征意义,即即使是相同的的动物,在不不同的国家里里意义也可能能是大相径庭庭。例如:“龙”对于中国人人是一种权力力、尊严的象象征。但在西西方它却是邪邪恶与残酷的的象征。本文文从东西方动动物文化差异异入手,通过过具体实例来来探讨动物隐隐喻在东西方方文化中的差差异,进而论论述了东西方方文化的迥异异,正是这种种差异性才使使得人类的各各种文化如此此丰富多彩。关键词:动物;象征意义;中国文化;西方文化;文化差异AbstracctBefore the aappearrance of eaarly hhumanss, aniimals had bbeen bbloomiing annd livving oon Earrth.Human bbeingss in aanciennt timmes haave too relyy on tthe necesssitiess whicch werre besstowedd by nnaturee to llive.
