The Mongol Emperor was a novel by Liu Cixin, a science fiction novel that told the story of the rise and fall of the Mongol Empire in a future world. The novel's plot is complex and the characters are numerous, including a large number of historical, political, military, and cultural elements, so it is considered a relatively good novel.
The Mongol origin story has a significant influence on Mongol culture today. It is a source of pride. The symbols from the origin story, like the wolf, are still revered and can be seen in some modern Mongol art.
In the Mongol origin story, there is often the idea of a harsh environment that the early Mongols overcame. This shaped their hardy and resilient nature. They were nomads, and their origin story reflects their ability to adapt to the steppes, relying on their herds for survival. Their skills in horse riding and herding, which are central to their identity, are also part of this origin narrative.
Another theme is their relationship with the animals, especially horses. Horses were crucial in Mongol origin stories as they were not just a means of transportation but also symbols of power and freedom. The Mongols' ability to ride horses effectively was part of their identity from the origin stories.
Mongol origin stories reflect their respect for nature. Since they lived on the steppes, nature was central to their existence. The stories might show how they depended on natural resources like water and grass for their herds, and this reflects their value of living in harmony with nature.
