Genghis Khan's territorial expansion once caused controversy, but Ran Ping analyzed it from the perspective of nationality: in the minds of modern people, the established mindset is that aggression must be for energy, property and people. But for Genghis Khan, this is just not the case. The life of Mongolians is to keep walking. Genghis Khan's conquest was not for wealth and rule, but for anxiety and anxiety from sunrise to sunset. "After a book is finished, it has nothing to do with the author. It has its life. " A few days ago, the reporter interviewed Ran, the author of Mongolian Past. He said, "There are still people reading Mongolian Past, and I believe it will live longer than me."

What we have seen in Mongolia's past has strong Mongolian characteristics. This is because before writing The Past of Mongolia, Ran Ping came into contact with the earliest extant scroll of Mongolian history and literature, The Secret History of Mongolia, and was moved by its unpretentious Chinese form. Therefore, when Ran Ping wrote The Past of Mongolia, he gave up using Chinese idioms and used adjectives as little as possible.
In Ran Ping's view, Mongolian history has a distinctive feature: it has been circulated for hundreds of years and has hardly changed. No matter the numerous versions of The Secret History of Mongolia or the literary works adapted from it, they basically maintain a high degree of consistency. Mongolia's past also originated from its secret history. Ran Ping hoped to write a Mongolian epic at first, but later gave up, only writing about the founding of Genghis Khan, saying that the Han Dynasty came to an abrupt end. Ran Ping explained: "Just like flashbacks in movies, I wrote the feelings of Genghis Khan into fragments from different narrative angles. This is more acceptable than starting from scratch. If you feel incomplete, you can go to the history books. "
After living in Inner Mongolia for 30 years, Ran Ping has his own views on Mongolian culture. Genghis Khan's territorial expansion once caused controversy, but Ran Ping analyzed it from the perspective of nationality: in the minds of modern people, the established mindset is that aggression must be for energy, property and people. But for Genghis Khan, this is just not the case. The life of Mongolians is to keep walking. Genghis Khan's conquest was not for wealth and rule, but for anxiety and anxiety from sunrise to sunset. In Ran Ping's imagination, "Genghis Khan will feel funny when he sees the city wall: How can this protect my property and people? I want to tear down the city wall, let it be covered with grass and let the horses gallop freely. " I hope I can help you.
