Home (Mongolian song: Why is the grassland the home of Baiyun? )

Natural grassland and national culture are two major advantages of Inner Mongolia, and the greatest advantage is their close combination and integration. The reason why Chinese culture can be revived forever is that it is constantly infused with the blood of the northern nationalities and constantly influenced by nomadic culture, which is the advantage brought by cultural hybridization. The greatest contribution of Inner Mongolia grassland is that it has bred a great nation dominated by Mongolians. We don't know which nation in the world has a magnificent and far-reaching history, and which nation's social organization, economy, culture, temperament, personality, emotion and natural ecological environment are so closely combined that when people hear long-tune songs and Ma Touqin's melody, the grassland will be displayed. Some rhythms of their poems coincide with the rhythm of horse hooves; They wrestle like eagles spreading their wings; Their feelings for their friends are as deep as the blue sky, as pure as white clouds and milk, as close as larks and as wide as gathering.

Mother Earth's dutiful son.

Farming people often regard the words with soil and water as derogatory, such as bumpkin, rustic soil like dung, parallel imports, and water mixed as light as water, arguing that man can conquer nature and fools move mountains. Mongolians regard heaven as Tengger's father, land as the mother of the Otok nationality, mountains and rivers as their mother's flesh and blood, and water as their mother's blood. They worship heaven, water, mountains, Aobao and big stones. Don't eat fish in the lake when offering sacrifices, and don't move a thing or a tree on the mountain when offering sacrifices. It is forbidden to pour dirty things into the river or wash anything. Facing the sun and the river, you will be punished. You are not allowed to draw water in the river after dusk, but you must salute the river first and explain the reason. The funeral avoided the river. It is forbidden to dig with sharp objects, especially the wetlands along the river. Generally, it is not buried. If the turf is buried and covered, or flattened with a horse, there is no mound left.

Aobao Mountain and Hanshan Mountain are sacred places and ancient nature reserves of Mongolians. Herdsmen compare mountains to men, water to women, and mountains and rivers are connected and happy. The song sings: "In this golden land, on the flowing Yimin River, you are the only person in the world who gives me hope and strength."

"Every time the camel team ding dong walks by, the dusk on the grassland is so charming. Looking at the brilliant clouds in the sky, the songs in my heart are dedicated to the grassland, to the grassland and to my mother. "

Mongolia sings the harmony with nature. Man: "In the auspicious and happy summer, you geese fly freely. Why did you come to the grassland beyond the Great Wall?" Wild goose: "winter goes and spring comes, and the four seasons cycle." The heat in the south urges us to go back. " Man: "It's obviously a beautiful autumn, why do you want to fly south?" Goose: "to avoid the cold in the north." Song of the Four Seasons sings: "Spring is coming, the grass is green and sprouting. I want to stay at spring training camp. My hometown is deserted and the road is far away. Go! " Summer is here, and a hundred flowers are blooming. I want to stay in summer camp. My hometown is barren and the road is long. Let's leave now. Autumn is coming ...

In the ancient Mongolian legend, the child asked his mother, why do we always keep moving? Mother said that if we always stay in the same place, Mother Earth will feel pain, we will move on, just like blood is flowing, and Mother Earth will feel comfortable.

Ecological center is a word of "love", love home, love soil, love grass and love trees. Mongolian songs integrate hometown, mother, lover, landscape, vegetation, livestock and wild animals into grassland, and sing the strongest voice of human love for nature, which is a veritable "ecological song". "Blue sky, green grass, this is my home, my paradise." "For centuries, the earth has devoted itself to the friendship of love, and human beings have thrived in your arms, weaving life, which is touching."

The patron saint of flowers and trees

When you use money to buy dairy products of herders, they will be unhappy and think that money is dirty, while milk is clean and noble because it is bought with grass, and even think that cow dung is clean because cows eat grass. They often take the names of plants in their hometown, such as Hairisu (elm), Houles (poplar) and Derris (Achnatherum splendens), and girls' names are mostly related to flowers and plants. All you have to do is shout out the names of Ziggy (Flower), Nadema (Peony) and Risu (Pine), and the girls will come out of the yurt and smile at you. Mongolians remember the year with grass, and the grass is green every year. Ask how old you are, and I'll give you some answers. Buryat Mongols said that the god of the forest is an old man with a white beard riding a horse or deer. He likes to be clean and quiet, and loves to listen to stories, so he can't speak loudly in the forest. If the tree falls, it will bring disaster. Mongolians are very familiar with local plants, especially grasses, medicinal materials, food and tea trees.

A grass on the grassland is a word. After thousands of years of running-in, they have formed articles, making the grassland a library with rich books. A grass on the grassland is a soldier, and the ecosystem they form is an indestructible force. They are survivors of thousands of years of harsh environmental tests and the last post to defend the fragile ecological environment. A grass on the grassland is a teacher who tells interesting stories. Grassland is the alma mater of many experts and scholars. A grass on the grassland is a friend and a relative. Grassland is a beneficial ocean and a big family of love.

Friends of wild animals

Mongols and their ancestors feared wolves and called them Tiangou as totems. Mongolian herders believe that wolves walking on the grassland can improve the vigilance of livestock and be beneficial to health. Without wolves, the antelope on the grassland became a big fat man who couldn't run. Wolves are a godsend and can't be killed. The activities of surrounding wolves on the grassland are often used as tactical drills, and finally the mother wolf and wolf cubs are released.

Swan is a divine bird in the sky. Legend has it that in a poor Mongolian family, the young man has grown up, but no one has come to propose. Later, seven beautiful girls came to take a bath in the pond every day. The young man hid a girl's clothes, and six people turned into swans and flew away. The naked one must marry the young man. Swan daughter-in-law raised ten sons like a god, got back the original clothes, restored the original shape of the swan, and slowly flew to the sky. The father and son were carrying fresh milk, and their fingers flicked to the place where Mother Swan flew. Since then, Mongols have had the habit of offering milk to swans.

Mongols regard the eagle as a symbol of national hero. At first, Mongols also used it for hunting, but in the non-hunting period, it was released into nature. A hunter fainted in a mountain stream and an eagle fed him. Later, hunters warned people not to hunt with eagles again. Buryat Mongols believe that the eagle is the son of Orhangbird. His father wanted to know about the new religions in the south and sent his son to visit them. Because of the long journey, his son became an eagle. Buryats believe that eagles are their ancestors and the gods.

Mongolians believe that swallows bring fire to human beings. Mongolians love birds and even list sparrows as key protected animals. There are many lakes on the grassland. They are a sea of birds and love. Every reed has friendship and care. There are thousands of relatives of birds here, and there are thousands of happy families of birds.

Mongolians have had the most complete environmental protection law in the world since ancient times. Among the key protected animals, sparrows, snakes, frogs and wild boars are among them, and the hunting period and punishment methods are strictly limited.

Wild animals are friends and teachers of Mongolian herders. They learn hunting skills from wolves. Wolves have children. A female wolf takes turns to take care of all her cubs. Other females go hunting and enjoy their prey. Herdsmen also have the habit of enjoying delicious food and being kind to orphans.

Relatives of livestock

Animals are commonly used swear words, but Mongolians never curse animals, let alone beat and scold them, and regard horses as friends.

Serve livestock with affection, manage livestock with livestock, and play the role of a good sheep and child. Grazing is in a semi-wild state, allowing it to eat and play freely on the grassland. Even if livestock make mistakes and offend herders, such as ewes who don't want lambs, they will not be punished, but will be influenced by exhorting milk songs (cooing songs) until ewes cry and feed lambs. Encourage milk songs vary from place to place, and most of them have only two syllables of lyrics: "Goo goo, goo goo! Birds without breasts feed their young with insects. How can you have the heart to abandon your lamb, goo, goo, goo! "

Herdsmen are very familiar with their livestock, and sometimes hundreds of almost identical lambs a day can be distinguished clearly at once. There are more than a thousand nouns about horses in Mongolian. As long as you hear a few words from the groom, you can find the horse you want from the stable

At night, the lambs who stayed at home craned their necks and cried, anxiously waiting for their mother's return. After the ewe who returned to the pasture heard the cry of the lamb, she stopped listening to the supervision and went straight to the lamb. The anxious look of mother and son looking for each other is pitiful. The intimate scene of meeting is reassuring. In spring in pastoral areas, this exciting scene of mother-child meeting is staged every day.

A lamb that lost its mother was raised by a little girl. After the girl goes to school, the little goat gets into the yurt on time every morning, wakes up the little girl and gives her a ride. How can herders not be sad when they sell these livestock? In order to get rid of the grief in my heart, in the past, release ceremonies were often held to designate certain livestock to die of old age. They not only work with livestock, but also give their feelings.

Ancient Mongols thought that horses were the sons of the Six Gods, and even the places where they urinated were clean places, so they chose to build yurts there. Every time Mongolian children 10 years old, they have to attend the adult ceremony and hold long-distance riding training in snowstorm winter. A well-trained Mongolian cavalry, fighting capacity at that time exceeded 20 infantry. The world before capitalism was a world of stepping on horses. Without Mongolian horses, the history of Eurasia will be rewritten; Without Mongolian horses, the territory of the motherland would not be as big as it is now.

Horses are social animals. Horses are well organized, and there are small groups in large groups. Small groups are families. Ermayina is a parent and owns many mares and foals. Ermayina is very responsible for his family. As long as the manager has several batches of Ermayina, the horses will be safe. Although horses are polygamous, children never mate with their relatives. When the mares are in heat, Malaysia will drive them out of the herd. Horses are extroverted, elegant and natural, with loud cries and rich expressions, which can be shown all over the body, especially in the ears. The groom can communicate with his pole horse for a long time.

Grassland nomadic animal husbandry is the stage of ecological drama

For thousands of years, the grassland has been a nomadic people, living on aquatic plants. Livestock take the initiative to find grass, and when there is less grass, they will leave automatically. In summer and autumn, they rush to the cool highland in the north, and in winter and spring, they go south to the warm sand belt.

Mongolian herders put aquatic plants first and livestock second. In order to quickly recover aquatic plants, livestock can eat fresh grass nearby, and people tirelessly go nomadic.

Grasses form grasslands, trees form forests, and birds, animals and livestock form groups. People on the grassland also have strong cohesion. Pastoral animal husbandry, such as shearing sheep and picking lambs, must be completed in a short time in order not to affect the normal feeding of livestock, so everyone gets together to help each other and gradually becomes an organized collective activity. Grassland animal husbandry is characterized by sports, collectivity and integration with nature.

It was yurts that saved the Mongolian grasslands, and fixed houses would eat the grasslands piece by piece. Mongolian yurts are temples where Mongolian people are integrated with nature and grassland. Only yurts and aquatic plants can recover quickly; Only Mongolian yurts can livestock eat the nearest fresh grass every day; Only yurts can make human beings become ordinary villagers in the global village. Round yurts tightly surround relatives and friends. They are like Bai Lianhua's flower buds, pregnant with people who are loyal to nature and become the contemporary Noah's Ark.

Grassland animal husbandry has created a great nation and established a strong army, which has obvious nomadic characteristics and no logistical restrictions. As the Pope's messenger Planjo Gabini said, "They are more obedient to their master and more United than anyone else in the world. Among them, beating, bickering, wounding, fighting and the like have never happened. Enjoy delicious food. Sing when you are hungry and have fun, as if you are eating well. There are no thieves among them, they never tell lies, and women are chaste and can't hear any shameful behavior. " It is this army composed of ordinary herders and shepherds that swept across Eurasia and opened the communication channel between East and West.

Grassland animal husbandry is the carrier of nomadic culture and has created a brave and open nation. The good fashion of tolerance and mutual love has enhanced the role of women, and Mongolian women are the pillars of grassland nomadic animal husbandry. In order to adapt to nomadic life, there are carriage shops, mobile projection teams, horseback teachers, Mongolian primary schools, horseback doctors, and the famous literary light cavalry-Wulan Qi Mu, which has become a part of Mongolian nomadic life.

The product of grassland animal husbandry is not only beef and mutton, but also a unique art, a profound philosophy of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, the wisdom and open mind of nomadic people, the flower of pure love and the flame of human hope. The products of grassland animal husbandry are not only leather and fluff, but also the best embodiment of the national culture in which production, life, fighting, faith, art, happiness and nature are integrated.
