A Research on Anders-streben in The Secret History of the Mongols

Abstract

With the help of the genre, the significance of the sign is more definite and the interpretation of the sign is much clearer. As a kind of indicative sign, the genre can guide the way to understand signs. If a sign text shows the pursuit of another genre, that is Anders-streben. The ancient Mongolian history work, The Secret History of the Mongols, belongs to a historical text in terms of the textual identity. Its characteristics should be objectivity, accuracy, conciseness, while the author pursues different genres. It is the pursuit of Anders-streben that improves the artistic quality, literariness and interestingness of its textual effects. Thus, it also promotes literary value, artistic value and research value of the great book. By deconstructing the efforts on Anders-streben made by the author, the research paper is to analyze novels, proses and legends and explore their special textual effects and even the theoretical mechanism behind it. Moreover, a new perspective is provided for appreciating and researching this historical book.
