Jiang Rong's novel Wolf Totem repeatedly mentioned the relationship between Tengri and the grasslands. Combined with his reading experience, he talked about his understanding of this problem. Tengri was an important concept in Wolf Totem. It referred to a mysterious place in the myths and legends of the Mongolian Plateau, and it was also the place that the wolves in the novel yearned for. The relationship between Tengri and the grasslands was mainly manifested in the following aspects: Tengri was the natural barrier of the grasslands. The novel described the difficulties of the wolves living on the grasslands, often being harassed by the sky, and Tengri's existence provided them with safety and protection. The Tengri represented the core of the grassland. In the novel, the wolves constantly searched for Tengri and explored the depths of the grassland, thus deeply understanding the internal mechanism of the grassland and the essence of the grassland. Tengri was also a cultural symbol of the grasslands. In the novel, Tengri was described as a mysterious place and the spiritual home of the wolves. Therefore, Tengri not only represented the physical existence of the grasslands, but also the cultural and spiritual content of the grasslands. In summary, Tengri represented the core and soul of the prairie in the novel, and it was also the ideal place pursued by the wolves. At the same time, the relationship between Tengri and the grasslands also reflected the importance of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, as well as people's love and protection of the natural environment.
