摘要

与在内亚蒙古族中广受欢迎的格萨尔和詹格尔等史诗英雄相比，《昭诺·巴塔尔》这部鲜为人知的史诗源于一个可确定的、相对较新的历史基础：18世纪的准噶尔王子楼藏·舒奴和他在俄罗斯帝国寻求庇护，免受其亲属的迫害。虽然从卡尔梅基亚到新疆，关于这个人物的传说和短歌都得到了广泛的证实，但只有布里亚特人保留了任何完整的口头史诗：1936年从讲故事的萨加达尔·沙纳尔谢夫那里取下的一个标本。尽管沙纳尔谢夫的史诗有着复杂的政治和文本历史，但在2015年以俄语布里亚特双语版本重新出版之前，除了少数学者之外，它几乎完全不为人知。从那时起，它越来越成为布里亚特文化身份象征的重要组成部分，甚至被誉为与《伊利亚特》和《尼伯龙根》齐名的世界级史诗。

The Epic Legacy of Shono-Baatar

Compared with epic heroes such as Geser and Jangar who are widely popular among the Mongolic peoples of Inner Asia, the far less well-known epic of Shono-Baatar stems from a determinable and relatively recent historical basis: the eighteenth-century Dzungar prince Louzang Shunu and his seeking sanctuary from persecution by his relatives in the Russian Empire. While legends and short songs about this figure are widely attested from Kalmykia to Xinjiang, only among the Buryats has any full-length oral epic been preserved: a single specimen taken down from storyteller Sagadar Shanarsheev in 1936. Although Shanarsheev’s epic possesses a complex political and textual history, it was almost wholly unknown beyond a few scholars until its republication in a dual-language Russian-Buryat edition in 2015. Since then, it has increasingly become an important part of the symbolism of Buryat cultural identity and has even been hailed as a world-class epic equal to the Iliad and Nibelungenlied.

期刊介绍： The Inner Asia Studies Unit (MIASU) was founded in 1986 as a group within the Department of Social Anthropology to promote research and teaching relating to Mongolia and Inner Asia on an inter-disciplinary basis. The unit aims to promote and encourage study of this important region within and without the University of cambridge, and to provide training and support for research to all those concerned with its understanding. It is currently one of the very few research-oriented forums in the world in which scholars can address the contemporary and historical problems of the region.
