A brief introduction to historical grad

Applicant: Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province

Qinghai Haixi Mongolian epic history is mainly spread in Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan autonomous prefecture where Mongolian people live in concentrated areas. "Historical Gele" is called "Tuji" in Mongolian, which is performed and narrated by "tujiqi" (rapper). It is an oral literature created by Mongolian working people. In vivid language, the epic historical Gele tells the story of the Mongolian hero historical Gele who, through a series of arduous struggles, successively subdued manggu and the ferocious Han king, and rescued the suffering people from the demon cave. By praising the great achievements of the heroes, the epic expresses the Mongolian People's lofty ideal of pursuing peace, freedom and equality and their belief that justice will defeat evil. It is full of the wisdom and heroism of the masses. It has high literary and artistic value and is of great significance to the study of Ancient Mongolian culture.

Influenced by the modern mode of communication, there is a crisis in the inheritance of historical grad, which needs urgent rescue and protection.
