The origin of Mongolian yurts

The origin of Mongolian yurts is the houses where Mongolian herders live. Convenient construction and relocation, suitable for animal husbandry production and nomadic life.

In ancient times, Mongolian yurts were called vaults, "felt bags" or "felt tents". With the development of animal husbandry economy and the improvement of herdsmen's living standards, domes or felt tents are gradually replaced by yurts. The yurt has a circular spire, and the top and periphery are covered with a thick layer or two of felt. Ordinary yurts have a top height of 10- 15 feet and a wall height of about 5 feet.

Mongolian yurts introduction

Mongolian yurts are divided into four, six, eight and 10 hanas according to the number of hanas. Although the yurt looks small in appearance, it has a large use area, good indoor air circulation, good lighting conditions, warm in winter and cool in summer, and is not afraid of wind and rain. It is very suitable for people who often move to pasture to live and use.

The early form of this house may have been used by earlier nomadic people in Asia, and later many nomadic people used it or houses similar to it for a long or short time. In the process of its development, the early human architectural forms with wooden poles as the main supporting materials formed two schools: one is the traditional architecture of the Oroqen nationality in China, that is, Xierenzhu.

That is, the spire is covered with animal skins or bark and grass leaves. The door of the yurt opens to the southeast, which can not only avoid the strong cold air in Siberia, but also follow the ancient tradition of auspicious sunrise. In the center of the tent, there is a stove about two feet high. There is a cupboard for stacking cookware on the east side of the stove, and there is a skylight on the top of the account above the stove.
