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》是蒙古族衛拉特部的史詩,誕生于明朝時期的西域。史詩主要講述了江格爾汗率領12位英雄、32位虎將、6000多名勇士征戰四方,降伏妖魔,建立寶木巴理想國的故事。寶木巴氣候舒適宜人,社會財富均衡,沒有衰敗,沒有死亡,這體現了蒙古族人民對共同富裕的理想社會的追求。
《江格爾》結構頗為獨特,沒有一個貫穿始終的主角和主情節線索。數十部作品獨立成篇,合成整體。其故事發生在阿爾泰山、白頭山、額爾齊斯河等地,所用語言是土爾扈特蒙古語,夾雜著維吾爾、哈薩克、布魯特等西域族群的詞匯,體現了古代西域各民族語言文化的交流融通。《江格爾》是蒙古文學的最高成就,對于研究早期蒙古族的哲學思想、宗教信仰、風俗習慣等具有重要史學價值。
