水与黄龙溪的历史文化、宗教信仰和地方民俗有着深厚的渊源关系。为寻求意义、秩序与安居,黄龙溪先民面对自然威胁,围绕治水创造并传承了与水相关的神话传说、寺庙格局和宗教仪式,借此以实现地方空间的圣化和秩序化,地方社会群体才得以和谐团结。因此,水是黄龙溪文化的灵魂,也是其文化创作的动力源泉。同时表明,神话和宗教仪式两者是互为依存的社会象征体系,共同促进并维持社会整合。

Water is closely and deeply related to the historic culture,religious beliefs and local folk of Huanglongxi.In pursuit of meaning,order and peaceful settlement,around water control,the ancestors in Huanglongxi created and inherited water related myths and legend,temples pattern and religious rituals to face the natural threats,by these they made their living space secularized and in good order,and the social groups harmoniously united.Therefore,water is the soul of Huanglongxi's culture and its creation power source.Meantime,it also shows myths and rituals are mutually dependent social symbolic systems,which together promote and maintain social integration.
