巫女与王权——日本神功皇后西征之“神谕”谫论

Abstract:Empress Jingū，the first female emperor in Japanese Mythistory is a character between reality and fiction. Kojiki and Nihonshoki are both recorded that she went through the sea to conquer Shin-ra in accordance with the “oracles”. In modern times，there was a wave of suspicion about ancient times in Japan，and the queen and her magic skills were questioned. The paper argues that the setting of the character has a certain historical prototype and the saying that Miko is in power and gods grant kingship is a product of the unity of politics and religion. The core idea of her mythology is the worship of the sun goddess which is represented by “Jade” and “soul”. Combining the background of creation，the story of Empress Jingū reflects the intention of the ruler headed by the female emperor Genmei and Gensho in the early eighth century to consolidate their regime through the precedent of female dominance.
