Unique Mongolian drinking etiquette

Mongolia is a passionate nation. Because of the long-term nomadic life, Mongols are called "people on horseback". Here, wine culture is an important medium for Mongolian people to communicate with each other. Mongolians regard wine as the first drink, which is not only a way to entertain guests, but also a blessing to others. While paying attention to etiquette, they also have their own drinking etiquette.

In Mongolian wine culture, wine and songs are always accompanied. Jiuge is the highest etiquette for prairie people to entertain guests. The euphemistic singing is blended with the fragrance of wine, which makes people feel relaxed and happy; The mellow wine blends into the affectionate singing, which makes people drink heartily. Raise a glass in singing and sing in drinking, which vividly shows the charm of Mongolian wine culture.

There are countless toast songs sung by Mongols at the banquet. "Golden Cup and Silver Cup" is exciting, beautiful, warm and cheerful. The "Silver Cup" shows the elegant etiquette and profound friendship of Mongolian people. The Banquet Song expresses the desire to raise a glass to celebrate together, which makes people intoxicated with the joy of success.

Please drink a cup of koumiss, which not only reflects the sincerity of grassland people, but also praises the auspiciousness and sacredness of hometown. These songs give people a pleasant and comfortable feeling. A beautiful toast song makes people immersed in singing, even if they don't drink, they will be intoxicated by singing.

Mongolians have great respect and enthusiasm for their elders and guests, so when they mount, dismount, enter the door, greet and say goodbye, they all propose a toast and sometimes sing a wonderful toast song. For example, when sending guests to the horse, we should propose a glass of "stirrup wine" and wish them strong legs and a pleasant journey after drinking it.

When the Mongols toast, they often have the custom of "offering flowers to Buddha". For example, when the host makes a toast to the guest, the guest can also borrow the host's wine and offer it to others to show respect and friendly feelings. But when Mongolians visit the elderly or visit them, they never come empty-handed, and often bring wine or other food.

Guests should respect the customs of Mongolian French, and the host should drink less tea and drink it later. You're welcome. In addition, when serving yogurt to guests, the host should put the yogurt in the middle of the room, and the elders will pick it up and drink it first. Put it in a bowl after drinking, and the host will fill it up and drink it in turn. However, there will be a cultural performance in the second round of drinking, and then the host and guest will have dinner together.

After receiving the wine with both hands or right hand, guests should not drink it all at once, but dip the ring finger of their right hand in the wine and "hit it three times", that is, "May the blue sky be peaceful", "May the earth be peaceful" and "May the world be peaceful". Mongolians have placed the best feelings and wishes in the world with wine.

The host offered three glasses of wine. The guests drank the first two cups and then the third. If the guests really can't drink, then take a sip of each of the three glasses of wine to show their gratitude and sincerity to the host. After drinking the wine offered by the host, the guests toasted the host. In some places, after drinking the wine provided by the host, the guests will pay back to the host. There are also some places that pay attention to two glasses of wine.

When entertaining guests, the host often sings a toast, and the guests also want to drink a glass of wine, so they can't refuse. Mongolians believe that only when the guests have drunk enough wine can they feel that they have done their best, so the host family takes turns toasting the guests from the old to the young. If the guests don't drink, the host will keep singing until the guests finish drinking.
