"Nadam" means entertainment or games in Mongolian. There are thrilling horse racing, wrestling, admirable archery, competitive chess and fascinating songs and dances at the Nadam convention.
Before the start of the conference, men, women and children rode horses and dressed in festive costumes, and came to participate in competitions and visits regardless of the distance. The first activity of the conference is generally a wrestling competition. The wrestling hands and feet climb high into the boots, wearing wide satin wrestling pants under them, wearing "Zhao/De/Ge" (a vest) on them, and tying colorful ornaments "Jiang/Ge" around the neck, imitating the ancient knights striding around the field.
Horse racing is also one of the important activities of the conference. At the beginning of the race, the riders lined up, each wearing a colored belt and a colored towel, full of youthful vitality.
There are all kinds of colorful flags at the beginning and end of the horse race. As soon as the horn sounded, the riders flew into the saddle and whipped the horses, and the red scarf flew around like an arrow/arrow/arrow/hair. The first person to reach the finish line becomes the most praised athlete on the grassland.
Archery competitions have also attracted many herders. People with good skills can hit every shot and win applause from the audience.
The "Nadam" conference is also an exposition of agricultural and animal husbandry materials. In addition to industrial and agricultural products, there are ethnic diets, such as beef and mutton and their smoked products, cheese, milk powder, cream, milk bumps, milk tofu, yogurt and so on.

Usually held in late August of the lunar calendar, the date is not fixed and lasts for one day. In order to celebrate the bumper harvest and bless each other, besides preparing enough kumiss, we also treat guests with "hand-grilled meat", hold horse racing activities, invite folk singers to sing greetings, and present gifts to the elderly of Mongolian medicine.
It is said that Nadam Festival originated from this. ? 3. Burning/Burning/Festival Every year on October 25th of the lunar calendar, when night falls, everyone lights/burns/cakes/oil/lights to celebrate.
Today, most Mongolians in Buhe/Keke/Sai/Er/Mongolian Autonomous County and E/Min/County no longer burn/light/celebrate festivals; The Mongolians in Wusu city don't burn/shine for more than one day during the Lantern Festival, instead, they are all kinds of entertainment. Traditional entertainment activities for the Mongolian people include horse racing, camel racing, wrestling, archery and shooting, tug-of-war, folk singers playing and singing, Ma Touqin playing Jiangge and folk dances.
The Mongolian dance in Turhut includes group dance, solo dance, duet between men and women, singing and dancing, which shows the unique characteristics of grassland nationalities. During the Spring Festival, the ancient 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 A.D. and gave a banquet to celebrate it, which was the first year of Mongolian calendar, and the moon was called the first month."
The month of the stars is from 65438+February 16 to 65438+ 10/0/5, which is one month different from the lunar calendar. 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 that "iron comes out of the mountains", and people regard it 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.
5, fire day, also known as sacrifice/fire festival. Mainly from the ancient Mongols' worship of fire.
The ignition ceremony was held on the evening of February 23, 65438. It may be influenced by the sacrifice of the 23rd twelfth lunar month of the Han nationality.
However, since ancient times, Mongolia has the custom of using fire for sacrifice, which is a prelude to the Lunar New Year. Before the fire sacrifice begins, the whole family will go to the yard (some in front of Tang Qian and the stove), and the priest (the elder in the family) will first put up sacrifices to burn incense.
Then take a bundle of firewood and light it, and throw sacrifices such as butter, white wine and meat (beef and mutton) into the fire. Under the leadership of Chang Yi, the whole family kowtowed and lit a fire. The priest also prayed:-Thanks to Vulcan's blessing, some unclean things were thrown into the fire. Please forgive the Vulcan.
