Abstract

Cultivation of emotions for religion through the language of myth is decided by the with a belief that everything in the world has a nimbus. When there is a need for multiplicity, the narration of the metalanguage is close to that of authoritative language used in nature worship, which leads to various stories about the God of nature and the disappearance of these stories in totem worship. As far as nature worship is concerned, totem worship is of special value. Totem worship is the language vital to the transition to nature worship. A thorough understanding of the internal language structure of nature worship must take the interpretation of totem worship as a starting point.
