Mongolian heroic epics integrates a variety of ethnical elements including myths,legends,congratulatory speeches and folk songs,which is an important folk literary genre created by numerous folk rap artists collectively.It is the most representative literary achievements in Mongolian traditional culture.Epics extolled heroism and prayed for bright future with an optimistic attitude.Meanwhile,it recorded the evolution of the Mongolian history and customs by means of poetry,and is also a cultural way to present the Mongolian national character and national spirit.However,with the development of modern society,people’s living standards continue to improve.The culture and entertainments varied over time and people’s ideology occurred new changes,thus create serious impact to the folk culture and custom,so as to the Mongolian epics.On one hand,Mongolian epics cultural circle shrank,resulting from changes of its generation and development environment;on the other hand,the audience of Mongolian epics differentiated,especially the younger generation’s insufficient knowledge of epics.Their lacking of interests in learning epics raised us more concerns about the inheritance issues.How to effectively protect and inherit the historical achievements of’s heroic epic becomes a critical question that needs to be studied and solved in the case of the changes in living inheritance.This dissertation analyzes the formation,development and evolution process of Mongolia epics with the guidance theories in pedagogy,culturology and folklore,applying the ideology of combination of history and theory,as well as taking history as guidance.The dissertation perceived the characteristics of Mongolia ethnic groups and their dependence of the natural,social and cultural environment in the methods of observation and deep interview.It further summarized the status of Mongolia epic cultural heritage and discovered the inheritance dilemma through questionnaire investigation,and then focused on the effectiveness and appropriateness of the Mongolian epics cultural heritage education and the feasible educational ways in epics inheritance fitful for its cultural characteristics.Based on the study,the dissertation puts forward countermeasures to solve the inheritance difficulties of the Mongolian epics.Specifically,the main content of this study and related conclusions are as follows:First of all,on the basis of the analysis of the historical data of Mongolian heroic epics,the phylogeny of the epics and the life history of folk artists are organized and described from the perspectives of pedagogy and folkore.On one hand,the natural,social as well as religious environment reflected from the Mongolian heroic epics are analysed through the cultural and ecological system that the epics was produced and developed.A further discussion on the historical course of the emergence,development and evolution of the epics was made based on the previous step.On the other hand,as the Mongolian heroic epics varied with the cultural environment,it is found that another two types of epics-Pyton Guth and Bensen Uliger were emerged with the national unification,stable political power and frequent cultural exchanges.The varied epics,though maintained the basic structure and characteristics of original ones,were blended with the culture of any other nationalities.In addition,During the evolutional period of the epics,the folk artists have played an important role not only in creating and spreading epics but also in their protection and inheritance.Therefore,the study of the life history of folk artists has also been integrated in this dissertation,thus it is enriched by a new study on the analysis of the influence laid by life changes of those artists on literary creation and inheritance.Secondly,in order to discuss the different inheritance ways of Mongolian heroic epics,this study has analysed the applicableness,feasibility and problems remained in the different ways of educational inheritance.Interview,observation and questionnaire survey are made to investigate the traditional inheritance mode of oral artists,the inheritance mode of community education as well as that of school education.The result shows that the traditional mode of "Inheritance from father to son and education from teacher to students" still plays an irreplaceable role.However,in the modern times,this mode has met problems like inheritance division,disappearance of original inheritance field,and limited inheritance space.While the community inheritance is a new type of method came out to meet the requirement of learning-oriented society,cultural publicity and education are carried out in each community-unit,so as to improve the inheritance effect by using varied and flexible carriers.Besides,the inheritance methods are independent to each other due to the lack of interaction and communication.Too much stress are laid on only one method,so that the cultural inheritance can not reach to its best result.An effective way is to seek mutual complementation and mutual promotion among the three method to achieve a joint development.Thirdly,in the aspect of the exploration and innovation of inheritance path for Mongolian heroic epics,an educational inheritance platform based on data,website and information will be constructed with the help of the digital carriers of big data system of culture in the educational inheritance of the epics,so as to resolve the inheritance risk by achieving an effective resource integration of culture and education,as well as resource sharing and mutual complementation of different inheritance methods.Thus a modern and digital environment for national culture education will be built up to effectively inherit the Mongolian heroic epics,in terms of enriching the cultural life of people and promoting the Mongolia’s development and prosperity.
