Through a systematic comparative study, it shows the hidden story of two peoples beliefs, rituals customs ,etc, which presented by national characteristics and geographical characteristics.The body consists of three chapters and their collective contents as follows:The profile of Mongolian and Daur heterogeneous ethnic mating story. People and heterogeneous marriages-tales has closely linked with myths of human origins, clan origin myths and legends. According to its contents, it can be divided in to the following types: animal mating stories, the deformation-type stories and people-deformation (monsters) mating type stories, and so on. In this article, based on the gender of people's heterogeneous mate, the Mongolian and the Daur people with strange mating-type story can be summed up as "Magic wife" and "Magic's husband."It classified the Daur and Mongolian's magic wife story as "Swan fairy tale" and "Dragon Tale", and it carried out a comparative study. Two ethnic groups' fairy tale stories have some similarities in plot, structure, original theme, etc, For example, both of them have adopted some motifs of Altaic heroic epic. There always is a comedy in most storied ends. However, there are also some differences. Such as, since ancient times, Mongolians have faith in the Swan totem as well as totem myths, legends, fairy stories. Therefore, Swan system is relatively completed. On the other hand, Mongolian stories shows printed Tibetan story, while Daur stories shows the characteristics of Mongolian, Han, Manchu-Tungus, etc. The cultural factors in Daur stories are complex in nature. In some extents, Mongolian story is a reflection which shows the struggle between Lamaism and Shamanism, whereas the Daur story has always been permeated with Shamanism idea.The Dragon and young-poor boy's mating type in Daur and Mongolian' stories have some resemblance in structure, Motif, etc. But the Mongolian story is directly impacted with the story of the Dragon King's palace, and the Daur story is basically influenced by Han story. For this reason, the stories of two peoples each have their own national characteristics. The motifs in the Daur and Mongolian's magic-based story of his wife which appeared to solve problems are the main character of marriage, and those problems can be divided in to the following types: the girl's father, the powerful challenges or the father and brother who made the difficult problems.It classified magic-based husband in into two or more kinds, such as, the story of frogs and snakes son stories, and it also carried out a comparative study. Both ethnic groups' frog story is belonged to a same kind-the revival married-type story in the Northem District. This type includes certain types of stories Motif, such as, the AT425, 440A, 433D, and so on. It also absorbs the special type in Shamanism' thought. The snake story in Daur and Mongolian stories is the variant forms of the Han nationality stories in different regions. But compared with the Han nationality story, this story has been more simplified. Meanwhile, Daur and Mongolian have their own characteristics. For example, 433D and 433A, these two types of stories are spread in Mongolian region, white the 433D and 433E-type story are circulated in Daur stories. What's more, the status of the frogs and snakes in husband's story have changed subtly, That is, the frog plays a leading role, and it is the heroine of the story, while the snake in the story appears as a secondary image which has lost its position of the heroine.The comparative study of Mongolian and Daur heterogeneous ethnic' mating story, which also revealed its deep cultural connotation, is a relatively new study topic in comparative study of the story. This study also can provide valuable clues to clarify the relationship between ethnic origins, and historical relations.
