"The Secret History of Mongolia" is one of the three major historical documents, which fully and systematically embodies the traditional nomadic culture of Mongolia. It records the glorious life of Genghis Khan; meanwhile it provides the most valuable material for the study of Genghis Khan.Taking "The Secret History of Mongolia" as a case, this thesis studies the origin of Genghis Khan's logical thinking model and illustrates such models as binary thinking model, three-dimensional thinking, circularity thinking and longevity model and so on. According to the characteristics of Genghis Khan's logical thinking model and his loyalty, the author infers that the Genghis Khan's logical thinking model roots in the theories of "Heaven and Earth", "Yin and Yang" of Mongolian nomadic people. On the basis of binary thinking, the herdsmen fully adapted to the nature; live on the grassland and Gobi nearby the water. Living on "the oasis, desert, grassland", the herdsmen witnessed the cycle of four seasons—spring, summer, autumn and winter. At that time, people pined their hope on the highest god of Shaman—"Heaven". People will be wiser if sacrifice the heaven and earth. Later the nomadic people developed the three-dimensional thinking , circularity thinking and longevity thinking model on the thought that all things were born on the basis of harmony of heaven, earth and people. This thesis is a pilot study on the Genghis Khan's logical thinking models.
