When will the Nadam Convention in Inner Mongolia be held and what are the competitions?

A: It is usually held in the fat season of livestock, and a grand Nadam convention is held in July and August every year. In order to better promote tourism, Nadam has been held in Inner Mongolia in winter in recent years, except in summer, usually from the end of 65438+February to 1 month.

Dean was lucky enough to attend Nadam twice. The first time was in a small Nadam in West Ujimqin Banner, which was also specially held by the Tourism Bureau and was filmed by many media.

The second time was the 12th Winter Ice and Snow Nadam Conference held in Dongwuzhumuqin Banner a few days ago. The competition is divided into indoor and outdoor venues. Events include fighting, camel racing, bow and arrow, costume contest, cross-country race and photo contest (horse racing is not held due to seasonal reasons). Compared with the traditional men's three arts, there are many more events now, such as cross-country races and photo competitions. However, compared with the first little Nadam, it has been officially grand.

Boxing event, popularly speaking, is Mongolian wrestling. If you fall on the opponent, you win. As the first of men's three arts, this sport can best reflect the true colors of Mongolian men. Boxers are usually topless, and the competition is divided into several groups. At the beginning of each group, there will be a team that has won several championships and newcomers who have participated in the competition. Players who win the rankings usually have "Jiangga" hanging around their necks, and many colorful strips are hung on them. The more colored bars, the more times you get the ranking.

Many players will start with a unique eagle step and then March into the middle of the court to choose their opponents. I wonder if it's because of the rules. Most of them choose a group of pk after playing, so it's basically the qualifiers we watch. In 64 groups of competitions, basically all veterans win. Only a few newcomers win, and often the game will be deadlocked for a long time. Because there is no time limit, the stalemate between the players can last until the next team, or even until the two teams and three teams finish playing.

The whole camel race 15km. Because the time of the race is at the beginning of 1 and the outdoor temperature has reached MINUS 30 degrees, it is a great test for both camels and racers. Basically, after the race, the faces of camels and racers are covered with frost. The first player to arrive will be the first to get the wooden pole marked with the number 1, and so on. In addition to honor, the players who win the competition can also get generous bonuses ranging from tens of thousands of yuan.

The archery competition is much simpler and rougher. Generally, each person is required to shoot nine arrows in three rounds, and the top three are evaluated by the number of arrows hitting the target. Of course, this competition is a vertical racket. In summer, there are riding and shooting, long-range shooting and other events, which are divided into 25 steps, 50 steps and 100 steps.

The costume contest is to select high-quality clothing stores or institutions in the autonomous region to participate, so the participating costumes have their own characteristics. As for the evaluation criteria, it depends entirely on the judges' aesthetics. Generally speaking, clothing stores in this area will have more advantages. Similarly, the winner will receive tens of thousands of yuan.

Cross-country races and photo contests are familiar to everyone, so I won't introduce them here. There will also be some Mongolian chess competitions and camel beauty contests in other Nadam, and the forms will become more and more diverse with the changes of the times.
