The main content of Jianger

Jianger is a large epic composed of dozens of works. Except for a preface poem, all other works have complete stories and can be written independently. Some of these works are related to stories, but most of them are incoherent, so it is difficult to find out their order. Throughout the whole Jianger, there are a group of positive people with the same identity.

The opening of Jianger is a beautiful preface poem. It eulogized Jianger's childhood life experience and achievements, praised Jianger's paradise-like hometown Baomuba and its magnificent palace, praised Jianger's glorious wife and brave and loyal warriors, introduced Jianger's story background and main characters, and revealed the theme of the book, which is the wedge of this epic.

There are many stories in Jianger, which can be classified into three categories, namely, loyalty stories, marriage stories and war stories, with the latter being the most common. It depicts the brilliant achievements of heroes headed by Jiang Geer in exorcising demons, slaying predators and defending their hometown Baomuba. For example, "Conquering the Cruel Siragur Khan": After learning that Jiang Erhan had gone to other places and thirty-five warriors left one after another, the violent, sinister and ferocious Siragur Khan invaded Baomuba on a large scale. Hunger, the lion, met the enemy alone and was finally caught. Sheila Gurgu Khan sent someone to drag Honggur into a deep hole and throw him into a sea of blood, which made him suffer. Baomuba suffered an unprecedented disaster, and all the people were driven to the barren sand plain. Jiangge traveled all over the world and met a fairy-like girl in a palace in the south of Qingshan. They became close partners and gave birth to a boy named Shaobu Sigur. Three days later, the child rode the Aranza steed of Jiangge to hunt in the mountains. Once when he was hunting, he met alatan Zeji. The old hero asked him to take an arrow to see his father. When Jianger saw this arrow, he remembered his past honor and missed his hometown very much. He immediately returned to Baumba. However, the bones in my hometown are piled up and desolate everywhere. He managed to find an old man and found the whereabouts of Honggu. He resolutely went into the cave and went to the blood sea of the seven layers of hell to find the red ancient. The little hero Shao Busigur then came to Baomuba. He called all the warriors together to resist the enemy, got rid of the evil Sila Gurgu Khan, and saved the people in dire straits. Jiang Er rushed into the magic cave, killed all the demons, retrieved the bones of Red Girl, and saved Red Girl with the leaves of Ruyi Shenshu. Jiang Er and Honggur went back to rebuild their homes with others, and Baomuba was as prosperous and powerful as before. Another example is "defeating the brutal department of Manny Khan": Manny Khan sent messengers to put forward five humiliating conditions to Jianger, threatening to lead an army to attack Baomuba if he did not agree. Hunger stood up and vowed that he would rather bleed at the edge of the spring and throw bones in the wilderness than be a slave. He single-handedly rushed into the enemy line, captured the enemy's battle flag and killed countless enemies. However, due to being outnumbered, Honggur was seriously injured. At this time, Jiang Er led people to help. After Sanara and Sabl were injured, Jianger fought fiercely with Mannaihan. Jiang Geer picked up Mangnai Khan with one shot, and just lifted it into the air, the gun suddenly broke. Honggur hurriedly jumped up and struggled with Mu Naihan, and other heroes caught up with him. Let's cut off this arrogant enemy together.

The epic "Jianggeer", which is famous at home and abroad, is voluminous. From its initial appearance to its finalization, it widely reflects the social life and people's ideological aspirations in various historical periods. This large-scale epic with strong patriotism and heroism reveals a great truth: outstanding heroes and all the people can work together and unite closely to carry out arduous struggles, thus defeating the enemy, defending their hometown and creating peace, happiness and a better life. This is the theme expressed by Jianger through a series of magnificent and colorful scrolls and touching stories. Jianger successfully created many vivid characters. Negative images are different, and almost every work has enemies; But the positive image in the whole epic is the same. The main positive figures are the leader of Baomuba, Jiang Geer Khan, and his generals, alatan Ceji, Honggur, Gubain, Sanara, Sabl, Akihiko, Habutu, Kejilagan, etc. Most of these idealized positive images are demigods and heroes. On the one hand, they have all kinds of temperament characteristics in real life, and they also have extraordinary wisdom and skills like gods. These heroes not only have the same personality characteristics as hatred, courage, being good at fighting, being loyal to their hometown and people, but also have distinct personality characteristics. They can be roughly divided into several different types of figures: Jianger is a typical military leader, who plays the role of founder, organizer and leader in Baomuba; Alatan Ceji and Gubain are the embodiment of wisdom, and they are in the position of strategist and counselor in Baomuba. Honggur, Sabl and Sanara are all brave fighters from the front, and they are often the key figures to decide the outcome of the war. Not only that, even those people with similar personalities have their own characteristics. For example, Honggur, Sabl and Sanara are three brave soldiers. One is selfless, the other is loyal and honest, and the other is sometimes caring about one's reputation and status. There are still some differences in personality. In addition, "Jianger" also depicts the images of some ordinary workers, and is also unique in artistic creation.
