Hegel once asserted in "Aesthetics": "There is no epic in China." This sentence once made some people feel angry and criticized. However, if you think about it carefully, this cannot be blamed on Hegel. The responsibility lies with us. It is we who did not discover such a great epic as "Gesar" and introduce it to the whole of China and the world in a perfect form, so that it can become the common spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation and all mankind. This made Hegel, a great scholar and wise man hailed by Engels as the "Giant on Mount Olympus", say such words. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the profound significance of our country's great achievements in the "Gesar" cause is that it allows the world to re-examine this nation surrounded by snow-capped mountains, its history, and its culture with reverence. It has also completely changed the cultural landscape of world epics. In the history of the development of world epics, it has firmly established the lofty and unshakable status of "Gesar" and is known as the "Iliad of the East." "Gesar" and Homer's epic, one representing ancient Eastern civilization and the other representing ancient Western civilization, complement each other. They can be called two brilliant pearls in the history of human civilization and have won honors for the great motherland in the academic and cultural fields. This book comprehensively reflects the struggles of several generations of "Gesar" people in New China, with a high sense of responsibility and mission, with the "tenacity" fighting spirit advocated by Lu Xun, with the persistence of not letting go, perseverance, perseverance, and passing on the fire from generation to generation. This is the development of an epic. This is the development process of a national culture.
