Video of Chechen traditional dance conference

1. Chechnya is located on the north side of the Great Caucasus Mountains in southwest Russia, with an altitude of 4,493 meters. The total area is about 1.7 million square kilometers, which is about one sixth of that of South Korea, and the population is nearly 1.4 million. Although the population is small, there are more than 50 languages. The main cities are Gujermes and argon.

2. The origin of Chechens was first recorded before the beginning of the 7th century. The word "Chechen" originated from the village name of "Greater Chechnya" on the banks of the argon River, and gradually became the appellation of residents here. Chechens call themselves "Nakacho people", which means "ordinary people".

Chechens have been brave and good at fighting since ancient times and have always been nomadic. However, since the industrial development of 188 1, Chechnya has gradually developed.

Chechnya is far from Moscow. The map is about 1.850 km in 300 grid, and it takes about two and a half hours to fly from Moscow to Georgia. But the ticket price is not high, which may be the reason why Russia encourages exchanges between the two sides. Just around 300 yuan.

The airport in Geshi is very small, similar to a common bus stop. There is no baggage carousel. All the checked baggage is manually moved to a cabin, and then the passengers are put in to pick up their luggage.

Stickers and posters of Chechen President Kamm and Russian President Putin can be seen everywhere in Chechnya. It is reported that these two men have high prestige in Chechnya.

6. Chechnya has an unwritten custom. If you wear ornaments, you must put Russian ornaments on it and Chechen ornaments on it. If you go to Chechnya, you must pay attention to this matter. The locals care about this.

7. Unlike many people's imagination, due to the unremitting support of Russia for many years. The current development of Chechnya is still very good. Georgia looks more beautiful than many cities in eastern Russia. There are large shopping malls and houses everywhere along the main road, many of which are covered with blue glass curtain walls that Russian cities love.

The Koch City Hotel is the tallest building in the whole city, from which you can have a bird's eye view.

8. With regard to diet, the overall climate in Chechnya is relatively cool because it is located in a mountainous area. So all kinds of foods are relatively high in calories. I can't see any vegetables for breakfast. It is basically bread, sausage, cheese cut into strips and a staple food, mashed potatoes or flour paste.

There are many kinds of dishes for lunch, but there are only two basic methods, salad or soup. Lunch and dinner are mainly meat+staple food+soup. The meat in the soup is often half the size of a fist (note that it is only the soup before meals, not the main course), and there are only four kinds of meat: cattle, sheep, chicken and fish.

And Chechen fried chicken, maybe called "Chedeji"?

9. When you come to Chechnya, you must go to Chechen Museum. Outside the Chechen Museum, it looks like a traditional and modern building, very beautiful. It is surrounded by traditional small buildings in Chechnya and Transcaucasia. It is said that Xiao Ka likes this small building very much, so many buildings here have the style of this small building.

The museum is small, but there are many exhibits, including many traditional objects unearthed in Chechnya, traditional Chechen costumes, utensils, photos and so on. Very impressive.

10. It can be said that one of the most important buildings in Chechnya is the "Heart of Chechnya" temple, which was actually named "Ahmed" temple, named after President Kamm's father. This temple was built by Xiao Ka more than ten years ago. The temple covers a total area of 5000 square meters and belongs to the classical style. Each tower around is 63 meters high, and its hall dome has a diameter of 15.5 meters and a height of 23 meters, which can accommodate 10000 people at most. The hall is decorated with beautiful marble, and there are 36 chandeliers (said to be from the Mediterranean coast), which are magnificent as a whole.

1 1. Geshi is also preparing to build the Ahmed Tower, which is called the tallest building in Europe. It is reported that the foundation has been completed. The design was also inspired by a small Caucasian building. It is reported that the whole building is about 435 meters high. It was originally estimated that it was built in 20 18. But for various reasons, it is reported that it is still under construction. But at present, the building height in Petersburg, Russia is 463 meters (15 17 feet), and the Lahta with a total area of 400,000 square meters was completed in 20 18. So it is estimated that Hamat Tower will only be the second tallest building in Europe. But its building height has reached more than 400 meters, and it will be one of the two buildings in Europe with a height of more than 400 meters when it is completed one day.

12. Although Lao Ka has been dead for many years, his shadow can still be seen everywhere in the local area, such as large buildings named after him. There is also the Laoka Memorial Hall, which is not far from the ceremony hall of large-scale weddings and other activities.

13. Although the Chechen war sounds like a long time ago, it was not until April 16, 2009 that Russia officially ended the Chechen war. So the Chechen war actually ended after Georgia.

14. Chechens are hospitable, like to perform and often dance without saying a word. The dance danced by the residents of the Caucasus is called Lezkin, and anyone can clap their hands and dance. Men imitate Shan Ying and women imitate swans. So it seems that men are busy jumping around and women are leisurely floating around.

15. In Chechnya, women get married at the ages of 17 and 18, while men usually get married in their twenties, and most weddings are held by men. Traditional weddings in Chechnya are usually grand, and people who come to the wedding will sing and dance to bless the couple. The wedding lasted three days. But according to the custom, there are many wedding celebrations that the bride can't attend. More interestingly, at the wedding, the groom can't get close to the bride, but can only watch from a distance.

According to local customs, at the wedding, the bride usually tries to keep silent.

People in this place can still go to play.
