Features: Baogu Yuanye is a descendant of Genghis Khan. He comes from the vast desert and is known as one of the "Three Swords of the Grassland" in contemporary Chinese literature, alongside the singer Tengger and the painter Chao Ge. His writing is like a wild horse breaking through a formation, like clouds passing over mountains. Experts have commented, "Bold, humorous, wise, elegant, and delicate—these are all characteristics of Baogu Yuanye's works. He effortlessly blends these elements into a unique style that is calm and self-assured. But what stands out most is his heartfelt portrayal of the beauty of the human world, which is captivating." This book is a collaboration between one of the finest Mongolian writers and photographers, and it is the first full-color collection of Mongolian prose in China, endorsed by Xi Murong, Tengger, and Zhang Xiaofeng!
Review: I haven’t read enough works by mainland writers, but I’ve recently become obsessed with Baogu Yuanye. Whether he writes about the Inner Mongolian Plateau or other places, he uses such a light touch, yet it carries such a profound impact on people. This writer is from Inner Mongolia, but he writes not just about the Inner Mongolian Plateau. – Xi Murong
Reading his works feels like entering his homeland, like stepping into his home, as if shaking hands with every resident, seeing their tears, hearing their soft sighs, and feeling the endless wind from the grassland blowing across the miles. Baogu Yuanye brings his homeland to life in his writing. – Zhang Xiaofeng
Following Lao She, Xiao Qian, and Shen Congwen, Baogu Yuanye has become one of China’s finest ethnic minority writers. Some of his prose, even when placed in the entire pyramid of 20th-century prose, would not be out of place. – Lou Zhao Ming
Reading Baogu Yuanye’s prose is as if the grassland is right before your eyes. – Tengger

This book is divided into three sections—Husi Tai, Notes on Mongolian Music, and Auspicious Mongolia—to present a vivid picture of the grassland.
