Mongolians are nomadic people, and everyone grew up on horseback, because every generation grew up on the vast Mongolian plateau. Therefore, in such a long life, they formed the unique nomadic culture of the Mongols. This is an idea based on animism in nature.
First, the formation of Mongolian nomadic culture
As far as nomadic culture is concerned, it is very different from farming culture. Farming culture advocates transforming nature, which is essentially the survival and life of human beings through the struggle with nature. Nomadic culture worships, depends on and adapts to nature, which is integrated with nature, because a perfect natural environment is the basic condition and resource for the development of animal husbandry, nomadic industry has an internal mechanism to adapt to nature, and nomadic people have an internal concept to adapt to nature. Nomadic culture is formed on the basis of nomadic production, including nomadic lifestyle and corresponding specific elements such as literature, art, religion, philosophy, customs and habits.
The industrious and intelligent Mongolians are the epitome and typical representatives of nomadic culture. The Mongolian Plateau starts from Daxinganling in the east, reaches Altai Mountain in the west, borders Sayanling, Kent Mountain and Ya Blauf Mountain in the north, and reaches the yinshan mountains in the south. Most of them are ancient platforms, with mountains in the northwest, vast Gobi in the southeast and big hills in the middle and east. The climate belongs to a typical temperate continental semi-arid and arid type, with scarce precipitation, long and cold winters, frequent snowstorms, short and dry summers, large annual and daily temperature differences, abundant sandstorms and abundant sunshine.
Vegetation types are perennial and xerophytic low-temperature herbs. The geographical environment of the Mongolian Plateau is suitable for hunting and nomadic, which breeds nomadic peoples such as Xiongnu, Donghu, Wuhuan, Xianbei, Turkic, Qidan and Mongolia, and is the cradle of nomadic culture. /kloc-In the 3rd century, the Mongolian people stepped onto the stage of world history, ending thousands of years of ethnic and tribal disputes in the Mongolian Plateau. At the same time, it also inherited, fused, fused and developed the cultures of grassland nationalities in past dynasties, actively absorbed Confucian culture, Buddhist culture, Islamic culture, Christianity and other cultures, constantly enriched and improved itself, and formed Mongolian nomadic culture on this basis.
Second, the production and lifestyle of "water grass migration" and "black car and white account" in Mongolian nomadic culture
The mode of production and lifestyle of human beings are always closely related to the natural environment, and will form a set of production and living customs closely related to the natural environment. The nomadic industry that Mongols are engaged in is described as "migrating by weeds" and "living in a black car" in China history books, which seems to be an irregular vagrant life. In fact, it is a way of production and life that maximizes the use of grassland resources without destroying and degrading them.
