Under the auspices of the elders, sacrifices such as butter, white wine, beef and mutton are put into the fire. Thanks to the blessing of Vulcan, I pray that people and animals will be prosperous, and the crops will be plentiful and auspicious in the coming year.

Climatic situation of Hulunbeier grassland
Hulunbeier grassland belongs to temperate continental monsoon climate, which is a semi-arid region, with an average annual temperature of -2.6~ 1.8℃, a frost-free period of 80~ 1 10 days throughout the year, windy in spring, short and warm in summer, long and cold and dry in winter. The precipitation of Hulunbeier grassland mainly comes from the humid air brought by the Pacific summer monsoon, but it is located inland and the monsoon water vapor is blocked by Daxing 'anling Mountains, resulting in less annual precipitation, and the average precipitation for many years is generally 250~350 mm.
The spatial distribution of precipitation decreases from east to west. Hulunbeier grassland has the least precipitation in Hulun Lake and Krulun River, and the precipitation is below 250 mm. Hulunbeier grassland is influenced by Mongolian high pressure, monsoon circulation and topographic factors, with obvious seasonal variation of precipitation. It is rainy in summer and autumn, and the precipitation is mostly concentrated from June to September, accounting for about 80% of the annual precipitation.
