What does it mean to spend the night in a yurt and see the red rope tied by the hostess's bed?

If you spend the night in a yurt, you must be careful when there is a red rope on the bed. This red line is not only a separation function, but also an important evidence for Mongolians to punish overnight guests.

Mongols have been nomadic people since ancient times. Is it? Have no fixed place to live? Where sheep go, they settle there. There was a joke before that modern Mongolian college students were not allowed to take time off to go home and move in summer, so they couldn't find a home on vacation. Although it is a joke, there should be a real case. Mongolian people live by grazing, so they live? Home? It's all relatively simple, just a yurt. In Mongolian,? Bags? It means home. In addition to special hospitality, ethnic minorities also have their own different customs and habits. Let's talk about them. What is this red rope hanging from the bedside? What should I pay attention to when I see it?

The red rope at the bedside of Mongolia is the touchstone to verify human nature.

The red rope at the bedside of Mongolia has a history. The yurts of ancient nomadic people were not as big as they are now. All their daily necessities, including food, clothes, money, daily necessities, furniture, etc. They are all stored in yurts, so the place left for people to sleep is particularly small, and the bed for sleeping is even smaller. In order to make full use of the limited space, people in the yurt sleep regardless of the bed, but although they are all family, after all, men and women are different, so they will draw a red line in the middle of the bed, which will be the boundary and not interfere with each other. In addition to avoiding skin intimacy, this red line is also something that binds people who sleep. If you don't touch the red line, you must be very honest and don't move. If we can keep the red line in order, we won't disturb the partners who share the same bed and let others have a good sleep.

In recent years, with the development of tourism, more and more people visit the grassland. In order to let tourists experience the most authentic and interesting Mongolian life, Mongolians do not refuse tourists to spend the night at home.

If you visit a Mongolian family in the grassland and see the hostess tying the red line to the bedside, congratulations. This means that your family is willing to let you stay at home for the night. If you can't see this red line all the time, you should leave by yourself, so this red line now also represents whether people on the grassland are willing to take you for the night. If people let you spend the night, the second surprise will come. No matter whether the children at home are male or female, the elders will let the children sleep with you, which is a high hospitality etiquette in the eyes of Mongolians.

This red line is just like their historical function. On the one hand, it separates you from your family, on the other hand, it restricts you from disturbing each other.
