The biggest festival of the Mongolian people in a year is the annual festival equivalent to the Spring Festival of the Han people, also known as "Baiyue". Legend has it that it is related to the whiteness of milk, which means wishing good luck. The time of the festival is roughly the same as the Spring Festival. Since ancient times, Mongolians have regarded white as a pure and auspicious color. What they worship most is white, so they call the Spring Festival a white festival. Like other ethnic groups in China, Mongolians living in China attach great importance to the Spring Festival. However, due to the different production and living conditions and objective environment, Mongolian people celebrate the Spring Festival, and grassland nomadic culture is very strong. Bai Yue is the most grand festival of Mongolian people every year. This custom can be traced back to the early years of the Yuan Dynasty. When Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan was in power, he attached great importance to white festivals. Italian traveler Kyle? In his travels, Poirot described this point in detail. Mongolians want to change the top of yurts into white in Bai Yue. If there is another heavy snow at this time, this Bai Yue will be more auspicious, which means a bumper harvest in the coming year. The first day of Bai Yue is the most important festival for Mongolian people in Xinjiang. On this day, the whole family will kowtow to the sunrise outside the door. People dressed in festive costumes, carrying silver pots of milk tea and delicious food will throw their offerings into the lit fire before coming to Aobao, and then kowtow and pray for good weather. On New Year's Eve, every family eats hand-grabbed meat, including jiaozi and pancakes. On the morning of the first day, the younger generation will offer "farewell wine" to their elders. The whole family, old and young, dressed in festive costumes, gathered together to celebrate the New Year and stayed up all night. Usually, the whole family, old and young, worship their ancestors first, and then the younger generation presents Hada, toast and worship to their elders in turn. In the early hours of the morning, the whole family, old and young, and the people went outside the yurt and held a ceremony to pray for longevity under the auspices of the old man. It is said that this is a legacy of Mongolian shamanism. In the early morning of the first day, family and friends began to pay New Year greetings to each other, and it didn't end until the tenth five-year plan or the end of the "Hundred Leaps". During the whole Baiyue period, young men and women on the grassland rode horses one after another, carrying brand-new hada and fine wine, and went door to door to pay New Year greetings to relatives, friends and parents in various settlements. First, the younger generation bows to the elder, and then the elder wishes the younger generation happiness and longevity.
