Features: The Secret History of the Mongols is a book that records the formation, development, growth, and ultimate dominance of the Mongol nation. It begins with the twenty-second ancestors of Genghis Khan, B?rte Chino and Kh?khü M?ngke, and continues until the twelfth year of the reign of ?gedei Khan (1240), covering approximately five hundred years of the Mongol nation's rise and fall. The book includes accounts of the hunting life during the patrilocal clan system era on the Mongolian Plateau and the totem worship practices associated with it; it also narrates the historical trajectory of the Mongols' development from clans to tribes, from tribes to tribal alliances, and ultimately to a unified nation. Additionally, it provides an accurate record of the transformation from hunting culture to nomadic culture. Moreover, it vividly depicts the entire journey of Genghis Khan, the "supreme hero," and the generation of outstanding figures who, representing Genghis Khan, risked their lives and rose from the shadows to achieve imperial dominance. This is the reason why the book has become a monumental work in the "encyclopedia" of understanding the Mongol nation in its entirety.
