English tour guide words of Inner Mongolia grassland

Welcome to Hulunbeier Grassland! First of all, I want to tell you why people call this beautiful grassland Hulunbeier grassland. There is a touching legend behind it. Once upon a time, there lived a couple of lovers on the grassland. This girl is a Hulun. This boy is Bell. One day, a demon leader named Manggu Temple kidnapped Hulun, causing the grassland to dry up. Grass withered and turned yellow, and livestock died one after another. In order to save the grassland and Hulun, Bell walked a long distance and chased Mangas day and night. Finally, he fainted from exhaustion. In his weak state, he dreamed that the demon leader magically became a Land Rover, and Bell walked a long distance and chased Mangas day and night. Finally, he fainted from exhaustion. In his weak state, he dreamed that the demon leader magically turned Hulun into a flower, which was bearing the dream of strong wind in front of him. He immediately watered the flowers and broke the spell. Hulun has changed back to the original appearance. But the demon leader won't give up. He immediately watered the flowers and broke the spell. Hulun changed back to her original self. But the demon leader won't give up. He grabbed Huron and took her away again. Huron racked his brains to find a way to escape. She succeeded in getting the magic pearl on the head of the demon leader. After swallowing the pearl, Hulun became a lake. Meanwhile, Bell killed all the other demons, but couldn't find Huron. Bell was heartbroken and jumped into the lake to commit suicide. Suddenly, the earth split and formed two lakes, Hulun Lake and Bell Lake, which were closely connected by Wilson River. Later, people living on this grassland named this land Hulunbeier grassland.

Hulunbeier covers an area of 250.557 square kilometers with a total population of 2.66 million. Mongolian is the main ethnic group, and other 35 ethnic groups, such as Daur, Ewenki, Oroqen, Han, Manchu and Russian, etc. Live in harmony with them on the grassland. Hulunbeier is called "green and clean land" because it is relatively pollution-free.

(into the grassland)

Now we have set foot on the Kunlun Bell Grassland again. All of us fled the city and its noise and entered a place like a dream. Look! The grassland looks like a soft, green blanket. Now you can enjoy the beautiful scenery in the distance. All kinds of wild flowers are in full bloom, and plumes of kitchen smoke rise from yurts scattered on the grassland. When the breeze blows across the grass, flocks of cattle, horses and sheep seem to drift from here to there. What a beautiful picture!

(Visiting Mongolian yurts)

This is the yurt we saw on the bus just now. Look! The host and his family have come out to meet us. Of course, this is definitely not an arranged reception. But before we enter the yurt, I want to briefly introduce the folk customs here. No matter which yurt you happen to visit, you will find that with your steps, the Mongolian people will extend a warm welcome outside the yurt to show their usual hospitality. When greeting you, they will put their hands on their chests and bow slightly. They use "hello" to invite guests. Male guests are invited to sit on the left, female guests sit on the right and the host sits in the middle. As soon as you sit down, the host will put milk tea and various dairy products in front of you. After drinking white wine, you are likely to be asked to take a special course called "Handmade Rice". In order to show respect for his distinguished guests, your host will send you a "Hada" (a piece of silk as a greeting gift) and a glass of local wine. Mongolians are famous for their talent for singing and dancing. Their beautiful songs are as entertaining and healthy as blue sky, white clouds, green grass and flowers. In folk culture, there is a saying that a feast without songs is not a real feast. Everyone on the grassland, men and women, old and young, can sing folk songs. When toasting guests, they will sing folk songs and play special violins to show their hospitality. Mongolian people have lived on the vast grassland for a long time, and they have cultivated their talent for singing and dancing. You can enjoy not only their traditional folk dances, but also modern dances with cheerful rhythm and brisk steps. Now let's enter the Mongolian yurt and take this opportunity to be guests in the Mongolian herdsmen's home.

(out of the yurt)

Under the blue sky and white clouds, you will see a vivid picture of flocks of sheep and herds of cattle, galloping horses and skilled herders waving whips on horseback. Do you want to go for a ride? If you are good at riding, why not ride a Mongolian horse for a while or ride a camel around? If you are afraid of riding horses or camels, it doesn't matter. You can also enjoy nomadic life in a special Mongolian car called Lele.

(Brief introduction of Mongolian constitution)

Now you have seen the grassland with your own eyes, but have you noticed that Mongolian girls are elegant, elegant and energetic, while young people are strong, brave and muscular? It is said that this has a lot to do with their lifestyle, which is related to equestrian sports, running and pursuit. In addition, the important role of milk tea and dairy products in exercising muscles and bones cannot be underestimated.

(Introduction to Mongolian Eating Habits)

Let's start with milk tea. The host cuts up the tea and puts it in a kettle to boil. When the kettle gurgled and began to boil, the owner poured fresh milk into it. Therefore, the herdsmen who come back from the snowstorm will warm up immediately after drinking such a cup of milk tea. A bowl of milk tea, fried rice, some dried dairy products and some mutton are regarded as a delicious meal by ordinary Mongolian herders. Dairy products include boiled milk skin, milk tofu, milk wine, cheese, butter and so on. There may be meat and flour products for dinner.

When you are on the grassland, it will be a great pity if you don't try "hand-held meat" (cook the meat eats it with a knife and hands). The mutton is cut into large slices first, and then boiled in boiling water. When it is half cooked, you cut it into small pieces with a Mongolian knife to eat. Mongolians believe that undercooked meat contains more nutrition.

(Brief introduction of Mongolian costumes)

Mongolian robes are unique to this nation. Robes are usually equipped with belts and headdresses. This robe has a high collar and long sleeves, which can protect people from mosquito bites. The middle part of the robe is loose to facilitate riding and long enough to keep the knees warm. Today, you can find all kinds of clothes here, but robes are the cultural heritage of Mongols and have become a symbol of their national conscience and identity.

(Mongolian Jurta Briefing)

You can see Mongolian Yulta everywhere on the grassland. But do you know the history and structure of Mongolian Yulta? According to the historical records of the ancient Huns, their ancestors lived in the northern country a long time ago. Their residence is called Yulta. In this sense, as a nation, Mongolians can be traced back to 4000 years ago. Therefore, Mongolian Yulta is a symbol of this national history. Now let's talk about the construction of yurts, which is a symbol of this national history. Herdsmen first build a circular foundation with stones, then build a structure with nests and beams connected by wool or fur ropes, and finally cover the structure with hides or blankets. The ceiling of the yurt is round. With this structure, the yurt can withstand snowstorms and heavy rains. The door of the yurt is very small and extends to the ground. Mongolian yurts are easy to move and suitable for nomadic life. This is the reason why the structure of yurts has remained unchanged so far. If Mongolian yurts are regarded as herdsmen's homes, then "Lele" trolleys can be regarded as their mobile homes. "Lele" trolley moves slowly and makes a lot of noise. It is hard to say when the history of "Lele" began. All trolleys are made of birch, so they can be kept in good condition even in rainy days. The wheelbarrow has high wheels and can easily roll on uneven roads, lush bushes, thick snow and swamps. "Lele" trolley is an indispensable tool for herders to cross snow-covered areas.

(Introduction to Mongolian Festivals)

Many Mogao Grottoes festivals are held on the grassland every year, but the most famous one is Nadam, the grassland carnival. "Nadam" in Mongolian means entertainment or recreation. When it comes, there will be many performances, such as horse racing, wrestling, archery and other special national performances. Nadam Convention is a festival with a long history, which has been famous in the world for 700 years. Nowadays, the Nadam convention is usually held in the grassland harvest season, either in June or July. During this period, herders often take the opportunity to sell livestock and livestock products, and buy daily necessities and livelihood-related commodities. In fact, herders rarely have the opportunity to get together on such a vast grassland, so Nadam also plays the role of a large trade fair for them. When we talk about Nadam, we should also talk about offering sacrifices in Aobao. "Aobao" means a pile of rocks or mud in Mongolian. On the endless grassland, it is difficult for people to tell the direction, so people think of marking them with stones or mud. In the long historical development, Aobao has become a sacred place to worship mountain gods and road gods. At the sacrificial ceremony, people insert branches into Aobao and insert colored cloth or paper flags with scriptures on the branches. There are four memorial ceremonies, namely, blood, wine, fire and jade. Regardless of the type, lamas will be invited to offer incense sticks, chant scriptures and pray for people and their livestock. Participants will walk three times clockwise around Aobao. After the celebration, herders can not only enjoy horse racing, wrestling and archery, but also enjoy singing, dancing and drinking. Around that time, young lovers may leave the crowd and enter their own world.

Dear and distinguished guests, after visiting this grassland, I believe you must have a general understanding of the life of the Mongolian people here, and you may even feel reluctant to leave the beautiful Hulunbeier grassland. I believe the grassland and people on the grassland enjoy your visit as much as you do and look forward to your next visit.

Ladies and gentlemen, I hope to have the opportunity to meet you again in Hulunbeier grassland. Goodbye and good luck.
