What are the taboos for "Xijiang Miao Village Hotel Reservation" to visit Mongolian yurts in Inner Mongolia?

"The sky is high and the clouds are wide, and the wind and grass see cattle and sheep." This is a poem describing the grassland scenery in Inner Mongolia. The scenery here is different. If you travel to Inner Mongolia, you must live in a unique yurt here. In the long historical process, the Mongolians have formed many customs, among which, of course, national taboos are indispensable. Here, I will give you a brief introduction to the taboos of traveling to Mongolian yurts in Inner Mongolia. The guest taboos of yurts are as follows; 1. Avoid fire. Mongols worship fire, Vulcan and Kitchen God, and think that fire, Vulcan or Kitchen God are sacred objects to ward off evil spirits. Therefore, after entering the yurt, it is forbidden to roast your feet on the fire, let alone let the fire roast your boots and shoes. Don't step over or step on the stove. Don't knock on the pipe, throw things, and don't throw dirty things on the stove. You can't pick a fire with a knife, you can't put a knife into the fire, and you can't take meat from the pot with a knife. 2. Avoid water. Mongolians believe that water is a pure god. It is forbidden to wash hands or bathe in the river, wash women's dirty clothes or throw unclean things into the river. Grassland is dry and short of water, and it can't survive without water, because of the grazing of aquatic plants. Therefore, herders are used to saving water, keeping it clean and taking water as the source of life. 3. Disease avoidance. When herdsmen have serious or critical patients at home, they usually hang a rope on the left side of the yurt and bury one end of the rope on the east side, indicating that there are serious patients at home and they don't entertain guests. 4. Birth taboos. Taboos of Mongolian women when giving birth to children. Customs are similar everywhere. Mongolian women are not allowed to enter the delivery room when giving birth. Generally, an obvious sign should be hung under the eaves. Boys hang bows and arrows, girls hang red strips of cloth. Guests will not enter the delivery room when they see the sign. Step 5 avoid the threshold. Visit herdsmen's homes, enter and exit yurts, and never step on the threshold. Mongolian people in agriculture and semi-pastoral areas also have this taboo. In ancient times, if someone stepped on the threshold of the Khan Palace account in Mongolia by mistake, they would be executed. This taboo custom continues today. 6. Avoid touching your head. Mongols forbid touching children's heads with their hands. The old idea is that strangers' hands are not clean, and shaping the head is not conducive to the healthy development of children. 7. Avoid hitting dogs. To be a guest at a herdsman's house, you should rein in your horse, walk slowly near the yurt, and wait for the owner to come out of the yurt to meet you. Before dismounting, you should watch the dog to prevent it from attacking and biting. Never beat or scold a dog. In the eyes of Mongols, dogs are friends of human beings. 8. Being a guest is taboo. Although herders are very hospitable, there are many taboos when visiting. 9. When guests enter the yurt, they should pay attention to the overall dress, and don't tuck the skirt on the belt with sleeves. Don't go in with a whip. Put the whip on the right side of the yurt door and stand up. After entering the yurt, avoid sitting in front of the shrine. Otherwise, the host will treat the guests coldly, thinking that the guests don't understand manners and customs and don't respect national customs. 10. In addition, Mongolians should avoid riding too fast when riding or driving near yurts, so as not to disturb the herds; If there is a fire in front of the door or signs such as red cloth strips are hung, it means that there are patients or parturients in this house, and outsiders are forbidden to enter; Guests can't sit on Xikang, because Xikang is a place for offering Buddha. Avoid eating the meat of suicide animals, donkey meat, dog meat and white horse meat; Avoid red and white at funerals and black and yellow at weddings; Avoid baking feet, shoes, socks and pants on the brazier.
