The horqin region is the centre of Mongolian Epics. Among the numerous epics to be found in the horqin region, there are twenty-four (eighteen main chapters and six sub-epics), sagas that are very unique in form and content. The first Chapter of this eighteen-chapter series will be the epic Bodhi Galab Khan. The epic poem “Bodhi Galab Khan” is called the First Galab or the First Galab by the horqin Mongolians. It is thought that after this first Galab, 18 more gala periods followed. The name of these periods include the second “Altan Galab Khan”, the third “King of Ultimate Heroes”, the fourth “Knig of the Golden Stone”, the seventeenth “Imaginary Heroes”, and the seventeenth “The King of the Golden Stone”. “The Hero of Dreams”, the 18th “The Blue Bull”. It will be Horqin people call these legends and epics “eighteen stories” or “eighteen strange stories”. The first two legends, “Bodhi Galab Khan” and “Altan Galab Khan”, are epic stories because they relate the origin of the world of Galab. In the epic poem “Bodhi Galab Khan”, “Bodhi Galab Khan” along with the stone forest, fights against the horned monster with the mad hero and extols the heroics of the final victory over the monster. In this paper, we are presenting for the first time how scholars at home and abroad have collated and analysed the epic “Bodhi Galab Khan” and how they have come to divergent conclusions.
