In ancient times, Mongolian yurts were called vaults, "felt bags" or "felt tents". According to "A Brief Introduction to the Black Tartars", "There are two types of treasury: Yanjing's system and Vitamin's bone.

Just like the thinking of southerners, you can roll up and open the door in front of you, like an umbrella with a hole in it. This hole is called a skylight. It's all covered with felt and can be installed immediately. The grass system is made of willow into a hard circle, and the diameter is determined by the felt tart. It can't be rolled up and put in the car. "
