The custom of Mongolian wrestling

The customs of Mongolian wrestling are as follows:

People on the grassland call Mongolian wrestling "Boke" (strong, united and lasting in Mongolian).

The competition form of Boke is simple and solemn. According to the Mongolian tradition, the contestants wear a "Zhuodege" (tight half-sleeve waistcoat) made of cowhide or canvas, with bare arms covering their backs. The edge of "Zhuodege" is inlaid with copper nails or silver nails, and there is a round silver mirror or the word "auspicious" in the middle of their backs.

The waist is tied with an apron made of red, blue and Huang San silk. Wearing a fat "Banzel" (trousers) made of 32-foot or 16-foot white cloth, the "Banzel" coat is a set of trousers embroidered with various animal or flower patterns, and Mongolian boots or riding boots are worn.

The winner's neck is matched with a "Jiangga" (collar) made of colorful silk. It is a sign of how many times a boxer wins. The more times he wins, the more colorful silk strips there are on the "Jiangga".

The Boke competition begins with the melodious and passionate hymn of "Uzhya". There is no special requirement for the venue, so it can be held on a flat grass or soil ground. The contestants waved their strong arms and danced to imitate the posture of lions, deer and eagles.

The rules of the competition are simple and clear. There is no time limit, and the contestants are regardless of their weight. Landing anywhere above the knee is negative. Boxing requires players' waist and leg movements to coordinate and cooperate, and fully display their strength and skills in confrontation.
