Ethnic customs in Inner Mongolia There are many customs and habits in Inner Mongolia, and there are also taboos. It is necessary to follow the arrangement of local escorts. 1, Dedicated to Hada: Hada is an indispensable item in Mongolian daily salute. Dedicating Hada is a courtesy used by Mongolian herders to greet guests, show their respect and blessings and communicate with them in daily life. When offering Hada, the host holds Hada with open hands, sings auspicious greetings or praises and turns Hada's folded mouth towards the guests who accept Hada. Guests should stand up and face the person who offered Hada, bend forward slightly to meet Hada, and concentrate on listening to the toast and accepting the toast. The Hada giver hangs Hada around the guests' necks, and the guests should put their hands on their chests to express their gratitude to the Hada giver. 2. Being a guest: When you visit a herdsman's house by car, you should see whether there is a horse tied to the Lele car near the yurt. Don't rush in. When the car meets the herd in the middle of the road, you should avoid it early, otherwise the vehicle will suddenly startle the livestock, so as to prevent the horse from breaking the reins and running away, and the livestock will lose weight when running in a hurry. If you meet a herd in the grassland, cars and pedestrians should take a detour and don't pass through the herd, otherwise it will be considered as disrespect for the owner. Enter the package from the left side of the stove, sit on the west and north sides of the yurt, and the east side is the host's living room. Try not to sit. When sitting, do not block the Buddha statue hanging on Hana in the north. You can sit on the floor after entering the bag without taking off your shoes. Don't sit on the threshold. When visiting a herdsman's house, you should bring appropriate gifts, such as wine, sugar and snacks. You can only reprimand, not beat, the barking shepherd dog. The host should also eat a little of all kinds of milk food, otherwise the host will feel that he is not well served. If you want to relieve yourself, you must go far to the south of the yurt, but not to the east, west (with sheepfolds) and north (the smell will be blown into the bag with the wind). Don't trample on the north and west sides of Baobei in winter, because the snow there is eaten by water. You must say goodbye and thank you when you leave your host's house. 3. Tea worship: It is a traditional courtesy of Mongolian people to offer tea to guests. When visiting a herdsman's home or at a tourist spot, the host or waitress will first offer a bowl of milk tea to the guests. Guests usually drink this bowl of tea. If you don't drink it, the host will think you are impolite. Guests should get up slightly and pick it up with their hands or right hand. Never pick it up with their left hand. When the host or waitress pours tea, if the guest doesn't want tea, please gently touch the spoon or spout with the edge of the bowl, and the host will understand the guest's intention. 4. Toast: Mongolians believe that wine is the essence of food, and it is a traditional way for Mongolians to entertain guests by pouring wine. They believe that wine is the essence of food, the crystallization of grains, and offering the most precious food is to express the respect and love of grassland herders for their guests. Usually, the host pours the wine into a silver bowl, a gold cup or a horn cup, rests it on a long hada and sings a touching traditional Mongolian toast song. If the guests push and pull and don't drink, they will be considered to be sorry for the host and unwilling to be honest with each other. Guests should immediately catch the wine, then follow the Mongolian way of toasting: holding the cup with their left hand, dipping the ring finger of their right hand in the wine to worship the heaven, then dipping the wine to worship the earth, and finally dipping the wine to worship the ancestors (dipping the ring finger in the wine in the direction of heaven, earth and stove to show respect for heaven, earth and Vulcan), and then drinking the wine at one gulp. Don't be reluctant to drink, but touch your lips to show that you have accepted the pure friendship of your master. Mongolians have been a hospitable people since ancient times. VIPs will be greeted with wine when they arrive, but they will not be forced to drink it all at once. However, those who are not suitable for drinking must take the silver bowl to show their courtesy. The standard of Mongolian hospitality is that it is polite to pour the guests. 5. Respecting the old and caring for the young: Mongolians are young and orderly. When visiting a Mongolian shepherd's house, you should greet the old man, don't pass in front of him, don't sit in his superior position, don't sit side by side with the old man without permission, call the old man "you", and don't call him "you" by his first name. Don't scold, beat and scold, talk about the child's physical defects in person, be kind and kind to the child, which is regarded as respect for parents. 6. Diet: Inner Mongolia mainly caters to northern cuisines, with a relatively heavy taste, and restaurants will pay special attention to it. In addition, VIPs will taste the local flavor-hand-grilled mutton. If they are not used to mutton and have other meals, don't worry, they will satisfy the tastes of many group members.
