Mongolian yurt information

Mongolian yurt is a kind of house 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". According to "A Brief Introduction to Black Tatar", "There are two kinds of domes: made by Yanjing, made of Vitamin bone, which can be rolled up and opened like an umbrella in front of the door and at the top, which is called a skylight. They are all made of felt and can be installed immediately. The grass is made of willow and the diameter is fixed with felt. Can't be rolled up and carried in the car. " 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, a wall height of about 5 feet, and a door facing south or southeast. The four major structures in the bag are Hana (Mongolian yurt fence support), skylight (Mongolian "brain cover"), rafters and doors. Mongolian yurts are divided into four, six, eight, 10 and 12 hanas according to the number of hanas. 12 yurts in hana are rare in grassland, covering an area of more than 60 square meters. Nowadays, nomadic life is gradually replaced by settlement, and rich herdsmen on the grassland have built brick houses, and there are fewer and fewer yurts.
