Brief introduction of Mongolia

Of course, the highlight of "Into Mongolia" is the works of two photographers, Mon Song Lin and Sachetu, which amazed us. However, after careful reading, I will find that what is even more fascinating is Mr. Meng's words and a beautiful and pure heart between them.

This kind of childlike innocence should be shared by everyone. Unfortunately, most people gradually lose this beautiful quality in the deviation caused by the acquired educational environment, drift with the tide in troubled times, and finally make the pearl dusty.

Fortunately, Meng, who was born in Daxinganling forest and grew up in Hulunbeier grassland, still has this childlike innocence that is not affected by secular values. Therefore, during his more than ten trips to Mongolia, the accumulated experience will be so touching when he closely observes the land, the people on this land and the culture that has lasted for thousands of years.

At the beginning, he marveled: "There are such beautiful places and such simple national customs in the world. Mongolia is a vast country, and its forests, grasslands, deserts and lakes maintain a unique original ecological natural environment in the world, just like a colorful and magnificent picture scroll. " After his first arrival in July 2002, Meng began his exploration journey again and again. From 2002 to 2006, he went deep into Mongolia by plane, train, off-road vehicle and other means of transportation. In addition to taking pictures with a camera, he also expressed his feelings in words.

What deeply touches our readers is the creator's desire for nothing! Yes, Meng didn't go to Mongolia for the publication of "Into Mongolia" today. He is not a reporter, let alone a professional travel writer. This book appeared because of his love for Mongolian land, nationality and culture, and his desire to share his exploration and discovery with friends living in China culture.

When presenting such a wonderful report, Meng did not pray for readers' recognition of the photographer and the author himself. The creator does not seek fame or profit, but only asks everyone to appreciate and feel the richness and beauty of Mongolia like him.

He is like a brother who came back from a long trip, eager to share everything with us. This enthusiasm makes this book not equal to a guidebook (although he also attached some materials at the end of the book), nor to a cultural introduction (although he also collected and read a lot of historical materials), but far beyond both.

I believe that every reader will be moved by the Mongolia of this book.

The wilderness is boundless, the time is long, and life is here. At first glance, it seems fragile and small, but it can always last forever. Moreover, it can develop into an unprecedented imperial feat. The imperial territory not only spans Europe and Asia, but also affects countless cultures more like flowing water. So far, it has only seen traces of running and wetting.

Many intangible spiritual assets existing in nomadic culture, such as perseverance, courage, gregarious, mutual assistance, trust and understanding, have been praised and affirmed by scholars all over the world. In fact, they are all accumulated by this nation in harmony with nature.

Man and nature are in love with each other, and there is always a grateful heart in the vast world. This is the most cherished and respected place in nomadic culture. Only with such virtue can people have such a rich land! Today's Mongolia, from the people to the government, has never given up its ancient and beautiful traditions in the process of getting rid of the shackles of the Soviet Union and striding towards modernization. This year is 2006. From A.D. 1206, Genghis Khan unified Mongolia and ascended the throne at the source of Monan River, which happened to be 800 years!
