"Black Wolf" is the historical novel of Yasushi Inoue,a master of contemporary Japanese literature.This novel is based on the Legend of Mongols,which begins with "The Secret History of the Mongols",and invented the "wolf principle" to explain Genghis Khan's insatiable appetite for conquest.At present,most of the domestic papers on Canglang begin with the controversy caused by Inoue Yasushi's fictional "Wolf's principle",but there is no study on the psychology of the image of Genghis Khan portrayed in the novel.The theme of the Wolf is what the author calls the origin of Genghis Khan's endless,indefatigable appetite for conquest.Inoue brings the poet's rich imagination into full play,blending historical facts with fictional stories,and creatively presents Genghis Khan's inner world.Inoue's description of Genghis Khan's psychology is a central part of the novel with research value.Therefore,combining with the theory of self psychology,the author makes an analysis of the psychological root of Genghis Khan's war.Looking back on the life of author Yasushi Inoue,the author tries to find out the reason and significance of his characterization of Genghis Khan.In the first chapter,the author explains Genghis Khan's teenage experiences,and the legend of the Pale wolf and the white deer is the enlightenment of his ambition.His half-brother Behter's slander of Genghis Khan's birth made Genghis Khan decide to conquer the world and "turn into a wolf" to prove his Mongolian origin.Genghis Khan's new wife is snatched and gives birth to an unknown son,Jochi,whom Genghis Khan loves and hates.A similar fate is the unbridgeable gap between father and son.Genghis Khan's view of women as "playthings" was shaped by the painful fact that both his mother and his wife had lost their virginity,leaving him and his son unidentified.The Appearance Of the beautiful,faithful Hula seems to melt the ice of Genghis Khan's love,but Khulan is still the object of Genghis Khan's absolute control and domination.In the second chapter,the author introduces the theory of self-psychology,starting from the structure of three-level self,and explains that Genghis Khan's mirror reflection,idealization and twin needs are not satisfied in his growth stage.So the author relates that Genghis Khan's serial killing behaviors are all caused by the relationship between the self and the object of transference.The Legend of the blue wolf is endowed by Genghis Khan with perfect omnipotence and omnipotence.He draws his powerful ego from the goal of becoming the Blue Wolf.Therefore,the Blue Wolf is the ideal self-object of Genghis Khan.The similar destinies of the eldest sons,Jochi and Genghis Khan,and the shared shame and pain that only Jochi could understand,made Zuki Genghis Khan's only twin object of empathy.As Genghis Khan grows stronger,the unmet needs of the early mirror become more apparent,the need to be recognized and celebrated as an object that should be derived from the mother,genghis Khan satisfied the subjects of the Mongol Empire and even the people of the countries he conquered.Through the interpretation of the three types of self-objects of empathy,the author re-concludes that the loss of self-object needs in Genghis Khan's early growth period enabled him to make up for the loss of his own feelings with a lifetime of untiring efforts.This is what Yasushi Inoue called the inner structure of Genghis Khan's desire to conquer.In the third chapter,the author first makes a summary of Genghis Khan's psychological analysis in the previous chapter.The absence of the need for the three self-objects allows Genghis Khan to "compensate" for his damaged self-esteem and love through various forms of empathy as an adult.And Inoue grew up alone with his grandmother,so that Inoue found the twin empathetic projection in Genghis Khan.Genghis Khan's achievements in his own struggle led inoue to regard it as the reposing of his idealized self object.Written in 1959,"Blue Wolf" was written at a time when Japan was not yet out of the dark clouds of World War II,and Inoue and other Japanese people were looking forward to Japan's recovery as soon as possible to embark on the road of economic prosperity.Genghis Khan not only changed his own fate,but also led his Mongol Empire out of poverty and into a thriving,expanding,ethnically integrated empire.Inoue is keen to see the country's leaders follow Genghis Khan's example and lead Japan out of its predicament into a bright future!Inoue Yasushi is unique in writing historical subject matter but not sticking to historical classics.The novel Canglang is a fictional historical novel written by Yasushi Inoue to explore the root of Genghis Khan's desire to conquer.The author borrows the theory of self psychology to study the constitution of Genghis Khan's desire for conquest.Lacking the need for narcissism,Genghis Khan compensates for his ego with various forms of empathic self objects,thus creating a great achievement.Inoue's true and uncritical account of the war reveals the author's strong antiwar sentiment.No matter what is shown in the works,or Inoue's contribution to the cultural exchange between China and Japan,it has laid a foundation of friendship and harmony for the study of " Black Wolf " !...
