In Wolf Totem, what is the Mongolian impression of wolves?

Mongols have always regarded immortality as a totem, and there is no such thing as a wolf totem.

The reason why the wolf totem is said is that in the secret history of Mongolia, Mongols are descendants of Canglang and Bailu, and wolves are the embodiment of gods. However, there are also different views. For example, some theories think that Canglang and Bailu are the names of two people, while others say that Canglang and Bailu are the names of two tribes.

But I remember very clearly that the Mongols of the older generation really thought that wolves were animals with gods and were in great awe of them. There are many taboos in the life of the older generation of Mongolians. For example, I still remember who is not allowed to say: I have never seen a wolf. Otherwise there will be disaster.

Therefore, the wolf totem is easy to explain: the totem mentioned here is a rhetorical device, which refers to worship and conforms to the Mongolian fear of wolves.
