Mongolian traditional holiday dress residence

The related introductions of Mongolian traditional festivals, costumes and folk houses are as follows:

First, traditional festivals.

Mongolian traditional festivals mainly include Mongolian New Year, Genghis Khan Memorial Festival, Nadam Festival, Aobao Festival, Horse Milk Festival, ancestor worship Festival and Lantern Festival. Among them, the Mongolian New Year, also known as White Festival, Bai Yue, Chagan Sari and New Year Festival, is the Mongolian "Spring Festival", which falls on the first day of the first month. The White Festival is the biggest festival of the Mongolian people in a year, which is equivalent to the Spring Festival of the Han people.

Second, clothing.

Mongolian costumes are determined by the living environment of Mongolian grasslands. Among the costumes, robes are traditional Mongolian costumes. The robe is fat and won't crack. In the past, winter clothes in pastoral areas were mostly smooth leather clothes, as well as satin cotton clothes. Generally wear cloth in summer; The colors are generally red, yellow and dark blue.

Herdsmen can keep warm from the cold when grazing in winter and prevent mosquito bites in summer. They also like to make belts with red and green silks and satins and wear meat-eating knives. The scabbard is beautifully decorated. Some of them are hung with muskets and snuff bottles. I like soft cowhide boots that reach my knees. This is also compatible with the natural environment of pastoral areas and the characteristics of nomadic life that flow all the year round.

Farmers in agricultural areas often wear cloth clothes, including robes (split), cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded jackets, shirts, shirts and so on. Wear felt boots and cymbals in winter, and those who wear high boots wear belts. Men like to wear blue, black and brown hats, and they also wrap their heads with silk. Women wrap their heads in red and blue cloth and wear conical hats like men in winter.

Unmarried women split their hair from the middle of the front and tied two hair roots with two big round beads decorated with agate, coral and jasper. Now, great changes have taken place in Mongolian costumes.

In winter, both men and women wear fashionable fur coats and down jackets, which are both warm and beautiful; Summer clothes are even more varied, and the clothing styles and materials are basically the same as those of the Han nationality. Men wear suits and ties, and women wear suits and skirts. Only when offering sacrifices to Aobao or holding Nadam convention, its hosts, participants in song and dance performances and a few participants will wear traditional costumes.

Three. residence

Life also adapts to its mode of production. The round yurt is a traditional life tool for Mongolian herders. It has the characteristics of easy handling, easy disassembly and cold resistance, and is suitable for nomadic life. Mongolian yurts are generally seven or eight feet high and more than ten feet in diameter, and consist of a circular wall "Hana" and an umbrella-shaped top frame "Woni". The sides and the top are covered with thick felt, and all sides are tied with wool ropes.

There is a patio in the center of the roof for ventilation and sunlight absorption. Some pastoral areas and semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral areas use Mongolian yurts with civil structures, and their appearance is roughly the same as that of felt bags.

Some open windows in sunny places and build fire kang inside, which is called "Dugui" in Yimeng (Ordos City), meaning round. There are also a few Chinese brick houses, most of which are the residences of princes, living buddhas, lamas and officials. In agricultural areas and semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral areas, two or three bungalows, a south-north kang or an east kang are common, similar to the houses in China.

Now, with the change of Mongolian nomadic customs to fixed-point grazing or semi-house feeding, Mongolian people almost completely settle in brick houses or buildings. Only in those tourist areas can you see traditional yurts.

Mongolian diet

Diet is restricted by its economic production type. Pastoral areas are mainly beef, mutton and milk, supplemented by food and vegetables. Dairy products include milk tofu, milk bumps, milk powder, cheese, cream, yogurt and so on. Eat fried rice and drink milk tea in the morning, and add ghee and a little green salt to the tea. It's delicious.

I like to eat beef and mutton at noon and at night. Brick tea is an indispensable necessity for herders, so add less fresh milk after cooking. The main fuel for herdsmen to cook and make tea is cow dung, and the flame is just right. The countryside is dominated by grain, supplemented by milk. Now, with the development of economy, people's diet structure has improved a lot. Besides meat, fresh vegetables can be eaten everywhere in winter and summer.
