Features: The Mongolian epic "Geser" has been continuously refined and created by monks and secular literati across different regions during its transmission, resulting in various versions. This book is considered a monograph dedicated to the systematic study of the Weilat "Geser." The historical responsibility has fallen upon Professor Ma. Uniluan of the Mongolian Language and Literature Department at Northwest Minzu University. The monograph he wrote consists of the following two parts. The academic value of a monograph is reflected in its depth and breadth, as well as its visual presentation. The authors of the monograph conduct an in-depth and meticulous study of nine aspects of the Weilat "Geser," including its plot, ideological content, era of origin, distinctive features, character portrayals, economic elements, religious influences, and literary status. The second part focuses on introducing 33 Weilat "Geser" storytellers and 22 Weilat "Geser" collectors, compilers, Han translators, and researchers. This monograph not only opens up new horizons in the field of Weilat "Geser" research but also in the broader study of Mongolian "Geser." Literature is the master content of culture. Through this monograph, one can gain insights into the customs, lifestyles, and social conditions of the western regions from a certain perspective.
