Benba is modeled on the Mongolian heroic epic Dzhangar, rewritten on the basis of the original epic through the transformation of dream and reality, time and space, exploring the spiritual belonging and the meaning and value of life. Under the anthropological perspective, the legendary story of Dzhangar in the world of Benba is analyzed through archetypal criticism, fictionalization of literature, and games in the text to explore the pursuit and return of the spiritual home in the human unconscious.Liu Liangcheng reinterprets the exploration of the myth of the hero and the search for the significance of realistic values through the transformation of dream and reality.
