What are the customs of Inner Mongolia people?

The customs of Inner Mongolia people are: offering Hada, birthdays, entertaining guests, weddings, parenting and so on.

1, Xianhada

Hada is usually used to welcome, give gifts, worship God, pay New Year greetings and celebrate to show respect and congratulations. This etiquette has a long history, and traveling to Mongolia is often treated like this.

2. Birthday

Birthday is a celebration ceremony held by Mongolian people for the elderly. The Mongolian birthday ceremony and the celebration of this Gregorian calendar year are only held when they are old. Birthdays are usually celebrated at the age of 60, 70, 80 and 90. However, when parents are alive, children and grandchildren are not allowed to celebrate their birthdays even if they are seventy or eighty years old.

3. Hospitality custom

Mongolians, whether acquaintances or strangers, always greet each other warmly: "He is a good listener" (hmm). Then the host put his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly and invited the guests to enter the yurt. The whole family, old and young, sat around the guests and asked questions as if they were at home.

4. Wedding customs

The day before the wedding, the man will hold a "ceremony to bless the new house" and the woman will hold a "girl banquet".

5. Parenting customs

Mongolians attach great importance to having children, and the babies born, whether male or female, will put up signs outside the house immediately after they land. If the baby is a boy, cut a bow and arrow from elm branches into one foot five inches to two feet and hang it outside the door. If the baby is a girl, put a red cloth outside the door. On the third day after the baby was born, a baptism ceremony was held and a banquet was held to entertain relatives and friends to show good news.
