unity,enhance national cohesion and expand international influence.Firstly,the historical and theoretical tracing of Genghis Khan’s cultural image-shaping is carried out.Genghis khan’s spirit of unremitting self-improvement and arduous struggle in the desperate situation is the most precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation,and it is also an important reason why the Chinese culture has gone through all kinds of hardships but still lives on in this land.During the process of creation and dissemination of Genghis khan’s image,the positive factors are fully performed,but the controversy part is a dilemma to the creator.How to fully show the image of Genghis khan provided creators with both challenges and opportunities at the same time,the place of these disputes is often created to a new perspective,new ideas.As people become more objective about Genghis khan,we will inject new vitality to Genghis khan’s image shaping if can reasonably use of these disputes.Under the new historicism theory,there is no strict boundary between historical texts and literary and cultural texts,they are all discursive practices and products of a particular socio-cultural context.From the perspective of cultural semiotics,the texts of Genghis Khan created by different countries and ethnic groups are in different semiosphere,and the interaction,exchange and "translation" between these semiosphere give new meaning to the image of Genghis Khan.This is the essence of cultural exchange,and the exchange between different semiosphere that break the border can promote cultural

author of Qing Shi Yan Yi made Genghis khan a benevolent and holy Lord in Confucian culture and strengthened his image as a Mongolian ethnic hero.In foreign works,the images of Genghis khan are both positive and negative,but their works showed some misleading of the east.With the efforts of scholars,this phenomenon is changing.Foreign scholars have created the image of Genghis khan in a more diverse perspective and richer content,which is worth learning.Among the contemporary works in China,the works in the80 s and 90 s still have the color of historical novels,while the works since the 90 s begin to explore the profound connotation of Genghis khan’s image from more angles.New historicism regards literature and cultural text as an important part of the cultural symbol system.Literary creation itself,like historical writing,is also a shaping of social culture.Thirdly,we analyzed the image of Genghis khan in film and television works.In recent years,foreign film and television works including documentaries and films have been more objective in their evaluation of Genghis khan.Although there are still some misreading of Genghis khan and the Chinese culture,but people are trying to create a suitable culture system and value system requirements of Genghis khan’s image.In China,the number of Genghis khan movies and TV series is not much,but the quality is very high.Today,with the

sacrifice situation of Genghis khan’s mausoleum and the cultural image of Genghis khan.Because of the Mongolian concealment custom,people still don’t know where Genghis khan’s body is buried.According to legend,the soul of Genghis khan was left in Ejin Horo,and some of his relics were put here,where palace tents were set up for sacrifice.After several vicissitudes,today’s Genghis khan’s mausoleum was formed.In the sacrifice of Genghis khan’s mausoleum,Genghis khan is the center and cultural symbol.The sacrifice of Genghis khan’s mausoleum has its sacred and solemn characteristics,and gradually integrates Mongolian ethnic characteristics in the development process.In recent years,Tourism projects and commercial activities themed on the image of Genghis khan are developed,also has obtained certain achievements.But we should recognize the status quo,see the problems existing in the development,and actively look for solutions.Genghis khan’s image is our precious cultural resources,it
