Research On Ulabun Title

Ulabun,commonly known as "ulabun" in Chinese,is the carrier of recording family,clan and national historical memory formed by manchu and its ancestors in the long historical development process.Since ulabun came into the academic field,titles such as debtelin,juben/julen,manju bithe and manchu preaching department(art)have appeared successively.Scholars have no agreement on many titles of ulabun.Moreover,various interpretations based on the above appellation have appeared;Some of the explanations have fallen far short of what ulabun intended.Many appellation not only reflect the value orientation of researchers with different academic backgrounds,but also have a crucial impact on the interpretation,interpretation and further study of the text of appellation.The definitions of ulabun in the wenjian and dictionary since the qing dynasty are only the records of records and classics.In addition,ulabun's successors also mentioned that ulabun should not be regarded as a novel,but a traditional way of recording family history and family history of manchu."Ulabun" is also translated as "biography" in all kinds of historical books written by officials in the qing dynasty.Through sorting out many statements of the inheritors,it can be seen that ulabun is significantly different from debtelin,julen/jubun and manchuria books.Storytelling refers to novels in Chinese,and the word "manchu storytelling" can only highlight the ethnic attribute but has some semantic problems,so it is obviously inappropriate for it to be a Chinese translation of ulabun.Influenced by the ancestral beliefs of shaman culture,the ulabun has been handed down by dictation,with the initial wooden and stone bone sticks and later written Outlines as auxiliary recording means.According to the existing documents,the oral history tradition of the manchu ulabun can be traced back to before the founding of the jin dynasty.Such oral history tradition also exists in xianbei,kidan,Mongolia and other northern nationalities,among which the secret history of Mongolia is a model of the transformation of Mongolian oral history tradition into text form.Therefore,the word "ulabun" should be translated as "zhuan",which is more consistent with the origin and connotation of ulabun.
