HONEYMOON IN INNER MONGOLIA Or: If Genghis Khan lived here, he'd be home now. By CAROL LLOYD Illustration by Ad McCauley we arrived in Beijing during a heat wave. Shrouded in mustard smog, the streets coursed with a river of cars, bicycles, donkeys and rickshaws. The air was thick with the smell of burning lard, the squawk of car horns. I glanced toward my Beloved nervously. "Don't worry," Henry said. "Once we get to Inner Mongolia, it's all going to change." I kissed him passionately. Thank God he was being brave. During our six years of landlocked cohabitation, Henry had confined all foreign exploration to weekly trips to the local public library. He'd come home and tell me about his adventures with the Tarahumari Indians of Mexico who play soccer on fields 50 miles long or the Icelandic feminists who rule the country eating only fish. As a seasoned globe-trotter, all this talk of travel drove me to distraction. One morning, when Henry was reading me a description of the rhododendron jungles of Yunnan, I lost it. "For Godsake Henry," I blurted out. "We've got to get married."

89. Mongolian Museum What was his importance to the Mongolian culture? What material was this made from? This piece reveals what about the Mongolian culture and people http://score.rims.k12.ca.us/activity/mongolia/

Mongolian Museum The history of the Mongols in China dates back thousands of years. The Mongols were a fierce breed of people who survived and prospered in a time of war and violence. The most powerful and famous warlord in Mongol history was Chinggis Kahn, also known by his Persian name, Genghis Kahn. Born in 1167 AD, Chinggis Kahn's military power succeeded in uniting many of the individual tribes of Mongolia into one unified country under one powerful leader. Although Chinggis Kahn will be remembered throughout history for controlling the largest empire at one time, much about Mongolia and its inhabitants still remains a mystery. Due to the geographical and political isolation of Mongolia, much about their culture and the religious beliefs are just recently coming to light. Western civilization is finally getting a chance to appreciate the fierce beauty of these nomadic people. View Teacher Notes The Task You are a curator of a new Mongolian museum exhibit. It will be the first exhibit in history to reveal some of the mysterious artifacts of Mongolia. This could be the break that your curator career has been waiting for! There is only one small problem...the anthropologist who has arranged the shipment of the artifacts in Mongolia has mysteriously disappeared. It does not appear that the anthropologist recorded any descriptions of the artifacts, but he did label each piece. Basically, you have a bunch of crates with old, expensive, and rare "stuff" in them. If you are going to pull off this exhibit, it will be up to you to carefully examine each artifact, identify it, and explain what each piece reveals about Mongolian culture.

90. Mongolia Information culture. The Mongolian way of life is nomadic and intimately connected with the ways of animals. Music is an important part of Mongolian culture. http://www.asia-planet.net/mongolia/culture.htm

Introduction Mongolia Information Mongolia Travel Tips Mongolia Location Mongolia Information Malaysia Introduction History Education Culture Government and Economy Environment Festivals Religion ... The Ger Culture The Mongolian way of life is nomadic and intimately connected with the ways of animals. Despite urbanisation, the traditions of the steppes live on. Even in the cities, most Mongolians continue to live in a ger, a large, white felt tent that can be moved easily and has a universal layout: the door always faces south; towards the back and a little to the west is the place of honour set aside for guests; the back of the ger, the khoimor, is the place for elders and most treasured possessions; and on the back wall is the family altar, with Buddhist images, family photos and suitcases. Get a local to explain the dozens of traditional, religious and superstitious rules and customs associated with gers. Mongolia's paintings, music and literature are dominated by Tibetan Buddhism and nomadism. Tsam dances are performed to exorcise evil spirits and are influenced by nomadism and Shamanism. Outlawed during communism, they're beginning to be performed again. Traditional music involves a wide range of instruments and singing styles. In Mongolian khoomi singing, carefully trained male voices produce harmonic overtones from deep in the throat, releasing several notes at once. Traditional music and dance performances aren't complete without a touch of contortionism, an ancient Mongolian tradition.

93. Danish Audio History: Haslund-Christensen In Mongolia This time the objective was to study Mongolian culture from west to east, and the starting point was therefore Afghanistan. From December 1947 till February http://www.statsbiblioteket.dk/dlh/haslun_e/rejser.html

Henning Haslund-Christensen's expeditions The farm in Mongolia 1923-26 The caravan 1927-29 The collection expedition 1936/37 The expedition of 1938/39 ... Haslund-Christensen's last expedition 1947/48 (Click on the map for an enlargement.) At the age of 27 Henning Haslund-Christensen took part in an experimental project in which five Danes ran a farm near the Bulgun Valley in the north-western part of Outer Mongolia from . However, neither the farming nor the fur trade in the winter went as planned, and after four years they had to give up the farm due to the difficult political situation. At this time Haslund had already travelled extensively in the country, he had become conversant with the Mongolian culture and language, and because of this he got a position as manager in the British-American Tobacco Company. At first Haslund worked for the company in Ulaanbaatar (at that time called Urga or Bogdo Khureen), and from April 1926 in Chang-chia-k'ou (Kalgan) and later in Datong (Ta-t'ung). With the help of Hertog Larsen, a well-known businessman in Mongolia, he joined "The Sino-Swedish Expedition" from , led by the Swedish explorer Sven Hedin. The expedition went from Kalgan to the region of Sinkiang Uighur west of Inner Mongolia. Haslund helped with the collection of medical-anthropometric measurings and after a while he succeeded in recording music on wax cylinders with a phonograph.

This region also includes some of the finest and largest petroglyphic complexes in North Asia. In addition, project members have recorded extensive petroglyphs and Turkic ritual sites; deer stones; Turkic images and ritual altars and khereksur, and a great number of other scattered Turkic images, standing stones, and deer stones. Through this process of recording and documenting, the Project is gradually building a vivid picture o f the ecology of culture in the Mongolian Altay between the late Pleistocene (approximately 11,000 calendar year B.P.) and the Turkic period (first millennium C.E.).

97. Tibetan Buddhism, The Mongolian Religion By this time, Tibetan Buddhism had mingled with traditional Mongolian culture and had become an integral part of the Mongolian national character. http://www.innermongolia.org/english/tibetan_buddhism.htm

Tibetan Buddhism, The Mongolian Religion By Professor Sechin Jagchid , originally published on Common Voice, Volume 1 Regardless of what explanation monks or clergymen may give regarding religion, it is a phenomenon of human culture and society. As for the reasons why nations adopt a particular foreign religion, they may explain it as a destiny set by God, as the will of Heaven, or due to other affinities. Nevertheless, there are historical and cultural factors. These factors provide some explanation as to why the Mongols, at the peak of their power, adopted Tibetan Buddhism as their religious faith. The Mongolian Khan's choice of this religion seems to have been based on cultural similarities between the Mongols and the Tibetans, and their mutual distance-geographical and culturalfrom the Chinese. Both Mongolia and Tibet are high plateaus of Inner Asia, and their open steppes and cold, arid climate make them well-suited to nomadism. On account of similarities in their geographic circumstances, both Tibet and Mongolia developed a similar cultural style: Nomadic pastoralism. It was thus, easier for the Mongols to mingle with seminomadic Tibetans than with purely agricultural Chinese, who were far different in their social and cultural institutions. Before the Tibetans were converted to Buddhism, their original religious belief was known as Bon, a faith similar to Boe of the Mongols. This historical background may also indicate that Tibetan Buddhism, that fit so naturally into the culture of the "!and of Snows", was also more easily accepted by the Mongols than Sinicised Buddhism, which had naturally accommodated itself to an agricultural civilisation.

99. Buryat Shamanism The thing most commonly associated with the BuryatMongolian culture from a Westerner s standpoint is the tradition of shamanism. http://www.buryatmongol.com/shamanism.html

Buryat Mongolian Shamanism Welcome to the Shamanism section of the Buryat Home Page. Buryat shamanism is renowned for its ancient traditions and legendary shamans through the works of Mircea Eliade, Michael Harner, and others. Please check back here frequently as new things will be added. Also please visit the home page of the Golomt Center for Shamanist Studies for detailed information about Mongolian shamanism and mythology. Buryat and Mongolian shamanism are essentially one and the same, the distinction of Mongol and Buryat comes late in history, for until the latter part of the 17th century present day Buryatia and adjacent Buryat Mongol regions were an integral part of the Mongolian Empire and had been since the time of Chinggis Khan. Introduction to the Basic Ideas of Mongolian Shamanism Terms used in Mongolian/Siberian Shamanism Shamanist Ritual Calendar The Pleiades and other Star Lore ... Shamanism Links Page The Contribution of Buryatia to World Culture "Tenger, humans, fire and water, those are the elements. If we think about it, there is the vast arch of the sky, and the sun and moon, like Tenger's eyes. If we look, the sun is fire, the moon is water. In 50 years' time all of humanity will realize that clean air and pure water are the most important things in the world." Urgunge Onon The thing most commonly associated with the Buryat-Mongolian culture from a Westerner's standpoint is the tradition of shamanism. No book about shamanism fails to mention Buryat or Mongolian shamanism. It is without a doubt one of the oldest religious and cultural traditions in the world.

100. Buryat History In the Mongolian steppe and southern Siberia, however, Mongolian culture and Buryat intellectuals participated in the revival of Mongolian culture and http://www.buryatmongol.com/history.html

History of Buryatia (Ar Mongol) The Mongolian Ancestral Homeland The Buryats are a Mongolian people numbering approximately 252,000 (1995 estimate of Buryats in Buryat republic) whose lands are located north of the Russian-Mongolian border near Lake Baikal. Buryatia lies within an area long contested by Russia, China, and (before 1945) Japan. Thus, historically and today, Buryatia has precariously existed amid the competing spheres of influence of more powerful neighbors. In the post-Soviet era, Buryatia has safeguarded its interests by maintaining good relations with Russia, of which it is a constituent part,and by establishing economic and political ties with independent Mongolia and China (through China's "Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region"). Another avenue by which Buryats attempt to mitigate Moscow's control is by cultivating links with a wider Mongolian cultural sphere. It should also be noted that Buryat Mongols do not only live in Buryatia, but also are significant minorities in Mongolia and Inner Mongolia as well. Mongolia's Dornod, Hentii, Selenge, Tuv, Bulgan, and Huvsgul Aimags, most of which border on Buryatia or Chita Oblast, have significant Buryat Mongol populations. Today many Mongolian Buryats hold important positions in government, business, and in the scholarly community. In Inner Mongolia the Hulun Buir region bordering Dornod Aimag also has a Buryat group called the Shinheeni Buryats, and a Mongolian group called the Dagur, who had fled Buryat lands after they fell under control of the Russians. This article, however, will focus mainly on the Buryat Mongols living within today's Russian Federation.
