Study of Altan qagan and the Biography of Altan qagan

《阿勒坦汗传》是关于土姆特人阿勒坦汗最重要的资料之一，1984年在中国出版。但是，在这方面值得注意的研究只有少数。与我们所知的其他蒙古编年史相比，《阿勒坦汗传》在形式和内容上都有显著的特点。关于形式，整个编年史几乎是由押头韵的四行诗，其中约400。就内容而言，这部编年史很有特色。例如，这本传记的作者对成吉思汗的祖先和成吉思汗的事迹都不感兴趣。几乎所有的传记都对阿勒坦汗和他的继任者的事迹以及16世纪后半叶以后蒙古的佛教历史进行了完整的描述。在最近的几项研究中，对这部传记的作者和写作年份的问题作了以下评论：这部传记写于1607年，作者不详，因为传记中没有写他的名字。但我不同意这些观点。通过对本传编撰背景的考察，笔者认为：阿旦汗之孙翁布琼塔依吉参与了本传的编撰。它写于1607年到16111年之间，当时三念子和菩提树禅宗结了婚。

One of the most important materials on Altan khan of the Tumed, i.d. Erdeni tunumal neretu sudur orosiba whose popular name is The biography of Altan khan was publishied in 1984 in China. But ehre have been only a few studies worthy of notice on this material.The biography of Altan khan has conspicuous features both in its form and in its contents in comparison with other Mongolian chronicles which we have already known. Concerning the form, the whole chronicle is almost made of alliterated quatrains which amount to about 400. As regards the contents, this chronicle has very distinctive characteristics. For example, the author of this biography hsa no interests in the ancestors of Cinggis khan nor the deeds of this khan. Almost all of this biography gives a full accounts of the deeds of Altan khan and his successors and the history of Buddhism in MOngolia after the ahlf of 16th century. In several recent studies on this biography, the following remarks are made about the problems of its author and year of writing: This biography was written in 1607 and the author is unknown because his name is not written in the biography. But I can't agree with these views. By investigating the background of compilatin of this biography, I concluded as follows: Ombo qong tayiji, grandson of Altan khan, was concerned with compilation of this biography. And it was written between 1607 and 16111 when San-nian-tzu abd Boshogtu qong tayiji had married.
