Birthday custom of Inner Mongolia people

The birthday ceremony was warm and peaceful. The children were held by their parents and kowtowed to each participant. Participants also have gifts. In addition, there are two important contents:

First, "grasp the age." There are pens on a plate, pens for food and pens for clothes. If it's a boy, put a small bronze Buddha, a bronze bow, a bronze arrow, a steel sickle, a Mongolian knife and a whip. If it is a girl, put needle and thread, gold and silver, jade, bracelets and so on. What the child catches is what he likes or is good at in the future.

Second, "trip line". There is a custom of "tripping the foot line" in eastern Inner Mongolia, which is to trip the child's leg with a cotton thread and then break it with a hat.

Zhu Shou

Mongolian people have the custom of respecting the elderly. Its proverb says, "Respect the old and love the young." "The experience of the elderly educates people, and the brilliance of the sun warms people". The Mongolian people's birthday ceremony and this year's celebrations are only held when they are old. Birthdays are usually celebrated at the age of 60, 70, 80 and 90. In this year

Thirteen, twenty-five, thirty-seven and forty-nine are not so lively, and birthdays this year are generally not birthdays.

Birthdays and birthdays this year are usually in the first month. Others set another auspicious day. The guests poured wine for the old man, presented Hada and presented gifts. Birthday gifts are more expensive, mainly horses, cows, sheep or sheep, as well as leather, cotton, various robes, boots and so on. The birthday party was grand and warm. We should always pour wine and toast to wish the old people happiness and longevity.

After your birthday, you can't go home empty-handed. Host families should return towels, wallets or give children food and pocket money.

The blue Hada of Mongolians not only symbolizes the true colors and strength of the pure, sacred, fresh and eternal sky, but also implies rich and colorful emotional meanings such as simplicity, kindness, beauty and auspiciousness. The same Hada embodies different emotional values on different occasions. In the past, all adult men and women had to carry Hada with them and be ready to use it at any time. Many life scenes such as meeting guests, visiting, celebrating birthdays, wedding banquets, paying homage and giving gifts could not be separated from Hada. Blue Hada, which indicates good luck, is cherished as the "head of etiquette"

Whole sheep and whole cattle, also known as whole sheep and whole cattle, is a traditional etiquette for Mongolian guests. There are three kinds of grand banquets: whole cow, horma and whole sheep, mainly to show perfection. In addition to offering sacrifices to the whole cow, only a certain part of the cow is generally taken. For example, on the birthday of the elderly over 65, only Niuwu tea (called Wugu tea in Mongolian, which is the weakness of cattle and sheep) is symbolically presented. Homa, also divided into vertical Homa, is the most exquisite whole sheep, which is characterized by depilation, peeling and baking. The whole sheep mat is not as delicate as Homa's, and it is characterized by peeling and cooking. Whole sheep, like whole cattle, are presented in different ways according to different needs and objects. Sometimes whole sheep are offered, and sometimes some sheep are offered.
