The role of yurts: a place where people live, eat and rest. The interior of the yurt is spacious and comfortable. It is wrapped in two or three layers of wool felt with a special wooden frame (supported by a yurt fence), and then tied with a rope made of horse hair or camel hair. Its top is supported by "Wu Nai" and covered with "Blissfulness" to show the sky. Its circular spire has a skylight "Taonao" and is covered with a square wool felt "Wurihe River", which can provide ventilation and lighting, facilitate construction, demolition and removal, and is suitable for rotational grazing.
Cultural customs of Mongolian yurts: For many centuries, Mongolian yurts have been the most representative feature of this nation. As the famous Danish explorer Henning Haslen said, "The sacred flame of Mongolian yurts is the center of family and tribal life. Tradition was born here. The language and atmosphere around the yurt have the oldest and most basic characteristics of the tribe, which has been passed down from generation to generation and has become a bridge between ancient and modern times.
The basis of furnishings in yurts is mainly inherited from the legend of ancestors' worship of incense and gods, and it is also related to the different division of labor between men and women. Moreover, the fixed rules formed by this display can remain unchanged because the shape of yurts has not changed for thousands of years.
Incense placement: incense (stove fire) is placed in the center of the seat, which is related to the ancient fire worship.
Location of men and women: From due north, men's things are placed in the northwest, west and southwest, and women's things are placed in the northeast, east and southeast.
Placement of shrines: a Buddha table is placed in the northwest, on which the Buddha statues and shrines are placed.
Saddle placement: Before and after the yogurt jar in the southwest of Mongolian yurts, Hana's head is hung with hooks made of horns or ya-shaped wood. There are reins, chews, stumbling blocks, whips, brushes and so on.
Bedding table: between the Buddha table and the box in the northeast (north), there is a lion eight-legged bedding table.
