Mongolians hate black and think it is an ominous color. In diet, Mongolians avoid shrimp, crab, fish and seafood.
Mongolians taboo others (including guests) to dismount and ride sheep at the entrance of the yurt and enter the yurt with a whip. Guests are not allowed to enter the bag privately, sit casually in the yurt, squat down or extend their legs to the northwest or the stove. Don't cross the host's coat, bedding, pillow, spit in the private room, and don't step on the threshold when you leave the private room. Mongolians also taboo others to point at their heads with tobacco bags, knives and scissors, chopsticks, etc.
Diet:
Mongolian diet: food, milk and meat. Serve guests with milk tea, milk residue, fried rice, mutton, etc.
In traditional festivals, Mongolian people still like to wear national costumes, participate in sports competitions such as horse riding, archery and wrestling, play Mongolian chess, play Ma Touqin and dance traditional national dances. Even in modern city life, Mongolians attach great importance to the integration of modernization and national characteristics. For example, the new Mongolian robe popular with girls in northern cities not only retains the quaint characteristics of traditional Mongolian robes, but also is permeated with modern gorgeous atmosphere. Mongolian yurts, large-scale painted galloping horses and galloping horse sculptures on public buildings in northern Xinjiang clearly show the features of grassland culture.
National customs:
Mongolian catering milk skin, milk tofu, cheese, milk fruit, etc. ; Drinks include milk tea, yogurt wine and so on. Mongolian people in pastoral areas are mainly meat and milk, supplemented by food. Eat three meals a day, pay attention to breakfast and dinner. In the morning, it is usually fried rice with milk tea, and then add a little milk skin and milk tofu. Eat more mutton soup noodles, fresh milk flour cakes or hand-roasted mutton in the evening. Drink milk tea before and after meals, as long as you want to drink it or guests come, all day. Meat is mainly mutton and beef. Mutton can be eaten by "hand-grilled meat" and roasted whole sheep, which is a traditional Mongolian food. Among them, the Mongolian "hand-grilled meat" is a small, tender mutton, which can be eaten after being boiled in water for seven or eight minutes. You can eat it by hand or pick it with a Mongolian knife. The meat is tender, delicious and easy to digest, which is a common hospitality for Mongolian herders. Mongolian roast whole lamb is the most exquisite dish in the banquet. A whole sheep is roasted brown, shiny, squeaky and fragrant. The chef squatted it on a plate and served it to the banquet, then cut it into several pieces and sliced it for the guests to eat. Color, fragrance, taste and shape are all good, with strong national flavor and local characteristics.
Mongolian traditional sacrifice to Aobao, "Sacrifice to Aobao" is a traditional Mongolian activity of offering sacrifices to gods. Most of the time is from June to August every year. "Aobao", which means "Duizi" in Mongolian, is a pile of stones, with branches and wickers inserted to guide pedestrians and point out the direction. The branches are covered with colorful cloth strips and paper flags. Traditional forms of sacrifice are: blood sacrifice, wine sacrifice and fire sacrifice. When offering sacrifices to Aobao, slaughter cattle and sheep as sacrifices. Modern Aobao has added some new contents such as horse racing, wrestling, archery and song and dance performances. The purpose of offering sacrifices to Aobao is to pray for good weather, peace in all seasons and prosperity in one year. Mongolian young men and women expressed their love for each other in the activities, and the time to meet again came from this.
Grassland food culture is full of grassland flavor. When you sit at a cool wine table, fresh milk tea is served, and delicious mutton is served by hand. The fresh aroma makes people drool. When I got to the grassland, I ate mutton and drank thick white wine, and my thoughts surged like clouds halfway up the mountain. Singing lights up on the wine table, and Mongolian folk songs with long notes have the same personality as folk songs on the Loess Plateau. The grassland opens the window, and the breeze permeates the hearts of tourists with the smell of grass. People will miss Gadamer, the national hero, and be close to hardworking and kind herders, vibrant grasslands and melodious Ma Touqin.
The bonfire party on the grassland is relaxing. When the stars are all over the sky, the brightness of a crescent moon falls on the vast grassland, and the fire rises, and the mystery, abstinence and massiness of the grassland have been presented. In the firelight, tourists from all directions danced modern dance, Russian ballet and Diane dance of grassland people. Horqin Grassland, a rough and unrestrained folk dance, has become soft again, and modern people have integrated the world's thoughts, culture and art.
