About This Novel
"King Yalu" integrates the creation history, conquest history, and migration history of the Miao people and their ancestors. It is a living encyclopedia of the Miao people. It has the characteristics of ancient mystery, rich and tragic, taboo and solemnity, and complete living state. Most of the motifs in "King Yalu" appear in the epic in a natural sequence.

The author uses time and space as the axis to explore heroic images; uses the motif as the outline to explore the connotation of the epic; uses inheritance as the root to seek the path to transformation, and constructs a new path for the study of King Yalu with "diachronic tracks" and "synchronic flow".
