What festival is Mongolian New Year? Now, like the Han nationality, New Year's Eve is the New Year in China. In ancient times, Mongols called the Lunar New Year "Xi/ En/Ji/Er", that is, the New Year. Some people call it "White Festival" or "Bai Yue", which is closely related to the whiteness of milk. There are different views on the origin of Mongolian Spring Festival. First, according to the book Answers in Black and White written by Dalai in May, "Cheng Khan took the capital of Xixia in 1227, and gave a banquet to celebrate, which was the first year of the Mongolian calendar, and the stars and moons were called the first month." The months of the stars were from 65438+February 16 to 65438+ 10. The Mongolian calendar in Ordos region is based on Bai Yue, May and June. From this point of view, the first year of the Mongolian calendar should be April in agricultural time. According to historical records, since the Yuan Dynasty, Mongolians have accepted the calendar algorithm of the Han nationality, so Baiyue in Mongolian coincides with the first month of the Spring Festival of the Han nationality. This is the origin of Mongolian Spring Festival. Near the end of the year, no matter in agricultural and pastoral areas, every household should set up lantern poles. By the thirtieth, we should clean the courtyard and do a good job in indoor hygiene. A small altar should be set in front of the Buddha, and a piece of cooked mutton should be enlarged on the altar for dairy products and flour-made fruits. On New Year's Eve, an ancestor worship ceremony will be held. In the past, at the ceremony of ancestor worship, we had to strike while the iron was hot. Mongolians have an ancient legend of "turning iron into mountains", which people regard as the legend of their own national origin. The night is brightly lit. Some also invited Mongolian folk artists to rap "Wu/Li/Ge/Er" (Mongolian book). Young people get together to sing and dance. Girls who don't take part in singing and dancing get together to play "sand/ha" (ga/la/ha. Usually used to stay up until midnight. In recent years, although the Spring Festival of Mongolian people is basically the same as that of Han people, and some customs of Han people are absorbed, such as eating jiaozi and setting off firecrackers, many traditional customs of Mongolian people are still preserved, such as eating "hand-held meat" on New Year's Eve to show family reunion. On New Year's Day, the whole family will put on holiday clothes and get together to celebrate the New Year. First of all, from the younger generation to the older generation, in turn; The younger generation kowtows and peers pay tribute; There are also packs of cigarettes, toasts and hada. After receiving gifts, elders should express their blessings to their brothers, nephews and grandchildren. After the blessing, give the children some gifts and "lucky money". At dawn, family, friends and relatives began to pay New Year greetings to each other. People who travel long distances have to ride horses or drive. New Year's greetings usually end before the 15th day of the first month. In remote farming and pastoral areas, on the morning of the 16th day of the first month, before sunrise, people who often play together also have the custom of "Ha/Ba/De" (beating/black/ink). It is to secretly wipe the forehead when the other person is sleeping, and the paint is mostly bottom ash.
