Jangar
Jangar is an epic poem of the Mongolian Oirat tribe, originating from the Western Regions during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). The epic mainly tells the story of how Jangar Khan led 12 heroes, 32 tiger generals, and more than 6,000 warriors to conquer and subdue demons and establish the ideal state of Bomba. Bomba enjoys a comfortable and pleasant climate, and balanced social wealth without decline or death, reflecting the Mongolian people's pursuit of an ideal society of common prosperity.
The structure of Jangar is quite unique, without a main character or a central plotline that runs throughout. Dozens of independent works form a cohesive whole. The story takes place in various locations, such as the Altai Mountains, the Baitou Mountains, and the Ertix River. The language used is Tuul Mongolian, with vocabulary borrowed from other West Asian ethnic groups such as the Uygurs, Kazakhs, and Buruts, reflecting the cultural exchange and integration among ancient West Asian communities. "Jangar" is the highest achievement of Mongolian literature, and has significant historical value for studying the philosophical thinking, religious beliefs, and customs of early Mongolian society.
《江格爾》
《江格爾》是蒙古族衛(wèi)拉特部的史詩(shī)，誕生于明朝時(shí)期的西域。史詩(shī)主要講述了江格爾汗率領(lǐng)12位英雄、32位虎將、6000多名勇士征戰(zhàn)四方，降伏妖魔，建立寶木巴理想國(guó)的故事。寶木巴氣候舒適宜人，社會(huì)財(cái)富均衡，沒(méi)有衰敗，沒(méi)有死亡，這體現(xiàn)了蒙古族人民對(duì)共同富裕的理想社會(huì)的追求。
《江格爾》結(jié)構(gòu)頗為獨(dú)特，沒(méi)有一個(gè)貫穿始終的主角和主情節(jié)線索。數(shù)十部作品獨(dú)立成篇，合成整體。其故事發(fā)生在阿爾泰山、白頭山、額爾齊斯河等地，所用語(yǔ)言是土爾扈特蒙古語(yǔ)，夾雜著維吾爾、哈薩克、布魯特等西域族群的詞匯，體現(xiàn)了古代西域各民族語(yǔ)言文化的交流融通。《江格爾》是蒙古文學(xué)的最高成就，對(duì)于研究早期蒙古族的哲學(xué)思想、宗教信仰、風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣等具有重要史學(xué)價(jià)值。
