Outlawed during communism, they are coming back on stage and to ritual ceremonies again. Traditional music involves a wide range of instruments and singing styles. In Mongolian khoomi singing, carefully trained male voices produce harmonic overtones from the depth of the throat, releasing several notes at once. Traditional music and dance performances are not complete without a touch of contortionism, an ancient Mongolian body art. Khalkha Mongolian , the official language, is a member of the Ural-Altaic family of languages, which includes Finnish, Turkish, Kazak, Uzbek and Korean. Since 1944, the Russian Cyrillic alphabet has been used in written Mongolian. The country produced a huge literature, almost none of which is known to European language speakers.

Other important influences are from Tibet and Tibetan Buddhism , and from China . Since the 20th century, Russian and, via Russia, European culture have had a strong effect on Mongolia . Not only Genghis Khan but also the nomadic peoples have had an influence on Mongolian fine arts. Among the topics that are mentioned from the oldest works of Mongolian literature to modern soft pop songs are love for parents and homesickness, a longing for the place where one grew up. Horses have always played an important role in daily life as well as in the arts. Hospitality is so important in the steppes that it is traditionally taken for granted. The Mongolian word for hero, baatar , appears frequently in personal names, and even in the name of Mongolia's capital, Ulaanbaatar Gers in the Mongolian Countryside The Yurt is part of the Mongolian national identity.

   Extractions: Mongolian Food Culture ... Early Mongolian History Early Chinese manuscripts refer to “turkic speaking peoples”, whom they called the Xiongnu, living in the area which is now Mongolia as early as the 4th or 5th century BC. A major war between these people and the Chinese, in which the Xiongnu warriors would charge on horseback, wielding lances and swords and firing arrows, was the motivation behind the building of the Great Wall of China. From about 200 BC, warfare between the Chinese and the Xiongnu “barbarians” was almost continuous until the Chinese finally expelled their enemy around the middle of the first century AD. Other nomadic tribes, such as the Xianbei and the Turk arrived in Mongolia from the north, and the remnants of the Xiongnu moved west. Their descendants, the Huns, terrorised central Europe under Attila from 434 to 453 AD. The Uigher tribe invaded Mongolia in 744 AD and allied themselves with the Tang Chinese, but their defeat by the Kirghiz in 840 AD allowed the Kitans, a Mongol tribe from north-east China, to take control. By the 10th century, the Kitans held much of Manchuria, eastern Mongolia and most of China north of the Yellow River. Even so the various Mongol tribes still waged wars among themselves. The Chinese finally defeated the Kitan empire in 1122 AD.

   Extractions: contact info Home Our Adventures ... Galleries Travel In Mongolia Climate Geography Culture ... FAQ Like every other nomadic culture, Mongolian culture is well-known for its hospitality. Upon guests’ arrival, traditional offerings and treats are served - dairy products in the summer time, and meat in the winter. Traditionally a Mongolian, even during his absence, will leave his ger unlocked, in order to allow any passer-by to rest and enjoy the treats which are left on the table for visitors. Mongolians traditionally lead a pastoral, nomadic lifestyle. Because of the climate and short growing season, animal husbandry defines the nomadic lifestyle, with agriculture playing a secondary role. Nomads raise five types of animals - goats, sheep, cattle (including yaks), camels and horses - that provide meat, dairy products, transportation, and wool. Of these animals, the horse holds the highest position in Mongolian tales and legends. As one of the only remaining horse-based cultures left in the world, Mongolians greatly cherish their horses. Outside the capital, the horse is still the main mode of transportation and children begin riding as soon as they can sit up. Nomads are extremely proud of their riding skills and horse racing is a favorite pastime. Believing the race to be a test of the animal's and not the rider's ability, young children are often the jockeys. The most prestigious tests of these superb animals are the horse races at the Naadam Festival, Mongolia 's national games, which takes place each July. Families will travel for days to be able to participate or just attend this grand event.

    Extractions: Mongolian Culture Mongolian Culture Mongolian culture and history has been formed in large part by the dynamic forces of nature and struggle that are embodied in the ancient nomadic existance of the Mongol peoples. From the time of the earliest known signs of human presence in the Mongolian heartland till today, the area we call Mongolia has been the birthplace of many famous tribes like the Huns, Scythians, Mongols and Turks that went on to become powerful catalysts for change in world history. The culture and society of Mongolia is greatly influenced by the central role of nomadism which is still the way of life for half of Mongolia's population of 2.7 million people. Mongolia is one of the last nations in the world today that has such a high proportion of nomadic citizens. The extreme climactic conditions of Mongolia bring enormous fluctuations of weather with very hot, parched summers and winters with temperatures of 60 degrees below zero farenheit. The sustained severe cold causes massive loss of livestock herds almost every year. This very difficult environment requires great strength and deep reserves of will to survive and thrive in. Mongolian people have lived and thrived in this unforgiving environment for many hundreds of years and have a deep enduring fondness for their homeland.

How Mongolia is Perceived by Others Ambassador's Message Welcome to the Mongolia Festival in New York City. As one of the organizers of this event and on behalf of my countrymen and women, I would like to extend to all Festival participants our heartfelt greetings. Our aim in organizing the Mongolia Festival is to bring Mongolia, its people, history and nomadic culture, its spirit and its character, to our friends in America. The idea for a Festival featuring our country was conceived a few years ago when the United Nations General Assembly designated 2001 as the United Nations "Year of Dialogue among Civilizations". We felt that the Mongolian people, one of the foremost representatives of an ancient nomadic tradition, might be able to offer our more industrialized neighbors something unique: a realistic guide for a sustainable lifestyle. Mongols have for centuries combined practical existence with respectful co-existence with Nature and it is no coincidence that one of the first laws concerning environmental protection was adopted in the Middle Ages in Mongolia and is still in force today. Mongols have played a major role in world history. Though known mainly by their conquests which embraced over two thirds of the then- known world, Mongols have made significant contributions to the development of relations between East and West. During the Mongol hegemony, states were carved out of the vast regions of
