ABSTRACT

"The Tale of the Western Regions of Tang Dynasty", "The biography of Master Sanzang", "The Tale of Niujiaoshan", "The History of Khotan's Teaching Law", and "The Tale of Khotan's Nation " are typical Khotan origin myth texts. Different from the textual research methods of historical documents, the paper uses western modern and contemporary semiotics, mythology, hermeneutics, post-modern philosophy and other advanced theories to analyze and explain the text of meta-myth, mythological events, difference text and overall mythological text from various angles: the structure, symbol, logic of a single mythological text and the features and functions of the overall Khotan mythological text.
