First, horse racing

Horse racing is also divided into long-distance endurance race, juvenile race and race walking race. The long-distance endurance race is generally 50 miles, and most of them are children riding bareback. First, they reach the starting point from the finish line, and then start running back. They ordered dozens of arrows to fly on the grassland, and the colored stripes tied to the horse's head and the rider's hands shook in the wind. A race started, and they ranked according to how they reached the finish line. Most champions reward a horse. Some large "Nadam" rewards all pommel horses. Horses are usually saddled, and adults ride them, with a distance of 20 miles. We can sort the horses according to the order of reaching the finish line and their walking posture.

Second, wrestling.

Wrestling is one of the important events in Nadam, and it is also the most popular event. Wrestling is divided into big, medium and small. In large-scale wrestling competitions,

The prize of the champion of the league competition is a white camel with a silver ring on its nose and 998 1 piece of jewelry and satin on its back. Every wrestler wears a different wrestling suit. The most exquisite is fragrant cowhide (that is, cowhide is processed into cooked cowhide with black stripes), and each side of the shoulder is inlaid with nail bubbles. The back is made of silver, printed with auspicious and blessing words or bird and beast patterns, which makes it look strong when worn. When the competition was announced, the wrestlers leaped into the venue with liger-like strides, paid tribute to the guests and audience on the rostrum, and then circled the venue, returning to the southeast and southwest positions in turn to wait for the competition. Opponents are pre-arranged, and then a one-time knockout is adopted. At the beginning of the game, the ancient melodious wrestling song began. In this monotonous, vigorous and elegant, pure and moving ancient wrestling song, warriors from both sides rushed into the stadium.

Third, offering sacrifices to Aobao.

Aobao is Mongolian, meaning heap or bulge. Sacrificing Aobao is one of Mongolian grand sacrificial activities. Aobao is generally located in the mountains or hills, and it is a cone-shaped solid tower made of stone. There is a long pole inserted at the top, and the head is pierced with animal hair horns and warp cloth, and there are cushion stones burning cedar incense in all directions. There are also branches planted next to Aobao, which are used to make whole sheep, koumiss, butter and cheese. When offering sacrifices, in ancient times, shaman wizards beat gongs and drums, recited spells, worshipped and prayed; In modern times, lamas burn incense and light fires, chant scriptures and recite scriptures. Herdsmen all follow the rising and falling direction of the sun and turn around Aobao three times from left to right, praying for God's blessing. With the development of society, the progress of science and the renewal of herdsmen's concept, today's Aobao has changed in content and form. There are more than * * * Aobao 100 in Xiwu Banner. The sacrifice of Wurigatu Aobao in Mongolian Khan City is usually held on the 16th day of the fifth lunar month. There are stones piled on it, with wicker in the middle, and Hada is hung on the wicker. Then, while reading Tibetan scriptures, the best parts of milk and meat are sacrificed to ensure good weather. After the sacrifice, everyone went back to the tent at the foot to share the wine and meat sacrificed to Aobao and wrestle after dinner.
