Why do the Mongols have so many taboos?

The taboos of the Mongolian people can be divided into eight aspects, namely fire taboo, water taboo, disease taboo, death taboo, taboo on the threshold, taboo on touching the head, taboo on hitting dogs and guest taboos, and so on. There are many reasons why Mongolians have so many taboos, some out of worship and admiration for nature, and some out of awe and fear of nature.

Mongolians worship things in the natural world very much, which has a certain relationship with the Mongolians' dependence on nature for a living, which is also similar to some taboos of other ethnic groups in ancient China, believing that things in the natural world are spiritual, and the sun, moon and stars, as well as heaven and earth, water and fire have special significance. In addition, the Mongolian people also spread the ritual of sacrificing fire, and during weddings, funerals, and festivals, a grand fire sacrifice ceremony is held to celebrate and thank nature.

As long as it is related to fire in Mongolia, the Mongolian people worship these things as gods, and treat these things with great reverence, and there are many things related to fire taboos in life, such as not baking feet and shoes and socks on the stove, not sticking knives in the fire, and not throwing unclean things into the fire.

Mongolians are also very reverent for water, believing that water is a holy god, for Mongolians living in the steppe, water is the ** of life on the steppe, they are very restrained in the use of water in life, and there are many water-related taboos, it is forbidden to bathe in the river, and you can not throw dirty things into the river.

Mongolians not only have a sense of worship for nature, but also have a sense of reverence for natural phenomena and a sense of reverence for all things in nature. Mongolians live in the plateau area, which is cold and lacks oxygen, and it is very difficult to live there. In order to reduce the harm caused by nature to people, the Mongolian people have developed some taboos.

In Mongolian homes, if someone is seriously ill, the family usually uses a spear and wraps black felt around the tip of the hair and holds the spear outside the yurt. Some people also hang a rope on the left side of the yurt and bury the other end of the rope on the east side of the yurt. The Mongols often used these two signs to tell their tribesmen that they should not see anyone who was seriously ill in their home.

In addition, the Mongolian people have some other taboos, taboos on climbing the threshold, taboos on touching the head, taboos on being guests, and so on.

Mongolians are very hospitable, and at the same time they are very considerate of those who come to visit, when visiting someone's house or when someone comes to visit, you should pay attention to your clothing, you must not tuck your shirt into your trousers, or pinned it in your belt, you can't roll up your sleeves, and you can't go into the tent with a horsewhip, it will be considered contempt for the host.

Because the Mongols are a minority, their habits and beliefs are different from those of the Han people, and they almost live in the steppes, and they have to taboo some things in order to live.

The Mongols have lived in the steppes since ancient times, and many traditions have been passed down from their ancestors, so it is understandable that there are many taboos.

Because they are an ethnic minority, the environment in which they live, as well as various beliefs, reverence for nature, and other factors have caused these taboos.

Because the Mongols are mainly the type of nomadic life, they pray every time there is a disaster, so there are so many taboos.

The taboos of Mongolia must be related to one of their circumstances, and as a nomadic people, they can understand some taboos that cannot be understood by the Central Plains.

I think this is because the Mongolian heritage is not particularly long, and there are many tribes involved, so there are many taboos.

Ethnic minorities like Mongolia have very different customs from those in the Central Plains, and their biggest taboo should be that some foods cannot be eaten.

Compared with the Central Plains, the Mongols belong to a minority and a relatively lowly ethnic group, and for the people on the border, the locals believe in ghosts and gods very much, so they will naturally have more taboos.

Because the Mongols were a nomadic people at that time, they had a lot of things to believe in, and there were also a lot of taboos.

As a horse people, the Mongols live in pursuit of water and grass and live a nomadic life, which is their distinctive characteristic. During the long life of herding and hunting, this people gradually developed some unique taboos.

Outer Mongolia will not be hostile to the Inner Mongolians.

The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, referred to as "Inner Mongolia", has its capital in Hohhot. It is located in the north of China, geographically located between 37°24 -53°23 north latitude and 97°12 -126°04 east longitude, bordering Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning and Hebei in the northeast, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Ningxia in the south, Gansu in the southwest, and Russia and Mongolia in the north.

The topography of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region extends obliquely from northeast to southwest, showing a long and narrow shape, the whole region basically belongs to a plateau landform area, covering plateaus, mountains, hills, plains, deserts, rivers, lakes and other landforms, the climate is mainly temperate continental climate, spanning the Yellow River, Ergun River, Nenjiang River, Xiliao River and other major water systems.

Plant resources: 2351 species of seed plants and ferns were collected in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, including 2167 species of wild plants and 184 species of introduced and cultivated. These plants belong to 33 families and 720 genera, and there are 24 species of rare wild plants listed in the first batch of national protection.

Wild plants are most abundant in mountainous areas.

There is an abundance of forest and grassland plants, as well as meadows, swamps and aquatic plants. There are 668 species of vascular plants in the grassland, belonging to 121 families and 504 genera, more than 900 species with forage value and more than 200 species of excellent forage grasses.

Mongolians should be taboo to beat dogs, because dogs are important partners in their lives.

There are a lot of taboo things, it seems that there are taboos such as getting sick, dying, and not being able to hit a dog.

Actually, I don't really know their realm, I just think they like to go on pilgrimage.

There are also taboos to avoid water, fire, illness, death, dog fighting, crossing the threshold, touching the head, and being a guest.

Mongolians generally live by water and grass, and it is estimated that they will pay special attention to the water source and will not let people dirty the water source.

I know that Mongolians only drink milk in their lives, and they don't use chopsticks.

The eight taboos are water taboo and fire taboo, disease taboo, death taboo, taboo to beat dogs, taboo to climb the threshold, taboo to avoid touching the head, and taboos to be a guest.

Sickness, death, dog fighting, taboo on the threshold, taboo on touching the head, taboo on being a guest, water taboo and fire taboo these eight taboos.

I haven't heard of any of their 8 taboos, and if there are any, they are probably local customs.

This seems to be water and fire, sickness and death, etc., and the rest of the few don't know.
