In the cultural context of Chinese path to modernization,the key to the independent theoreti-cal construction of ecological literary criticism is how to realize the combination of ecological literary crea-tion with the national literary tradition,and how ecological literary research reflects the contemporary Chi-nese reality with the same frequency resonance and highlights the local consciousness and cultural self-con-fidence.Alai's ecological writing on the borderlands provides a narrative possibility through his creative practice of"all-round"and"loud voice".In the works such as"Dust Settles Down","Empty Mountain","King Gesar"and"Record in the Clouds",he has comprehensively written and interpreted the plants,ani-mals and ecological environment of the borderlands from a local and ethnic narrative perspective,deeply presenting the real natural features and the accumulation of national spirit in the border area.However,he has always spared no effort to explore the ideological essence of the border culture with a deep writing atti-tude,and has sincerely written the"big voice"of Jiarong Tibetan area,connecting the discussion of Chi-nese writing,ecological politics,cultural geography,and the relationship between man and nature,and other related issues,contributing to the re-casting of integral cultural consciousness and cultural self-confi-dence,and highlighting the new space for the development of literature and art in the new era.
