Meng Xing Mongolian Township is located in Tonghai County, Yuxi City, Yunnan Province 10 km. Meng Xing Mongolian Township is the only Mongolian Township in Yunnan Province. Before liberation, it was a fishing village. After liberation, it was built in 1988, covering an area of 4.77 square kilometers. The resident of the township government is Beige Village, which is 3 kilometers away from Tonghai County 1800 meters above sea level1800 meters. The township has jurisdiction over 5 natural villages and 6 villagers' groups, 1760 households with 5657 people.
This Mongolian came here after Kublai Khan conquered Dali, Yuan Shizu in the Yuan Dynasty, and later established the Marshal House in Qutuoguan, Yuxi. This Mongolian stayed at that time and has been separated from Mongolians in Inner Mongolia for more than 700 years. Most customs and habits have been sinicized.
The ancestors of Meng Xing Mongols entered Yunnan with Kublai Khan in A.D. 1252. After the demise of the Yuan Dynasty 138 1 year, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor, ordered 300,000 troops to conquer Yunnan, and the Yuan Dynasty's rule in Yunnan ended. The Mongolians who stayed in Yunnan lost their political and economic dependence. In order to survive, some Mongolian soldiers who had been stationed in Tonghai, Hexi and Qutuo Pass in central Yunnan gradually gathered at the foot of Fengshan and under Qilu Lake, forming a unique ethnic township.
Today's Mongolian township has become a popular scenic spot in Yuxi. Visitors to Yuxi want to come to Meng Xing Mongolian Township in Tonghai to learn about the history and culture of this famous nation that has been separated for 700 years, so there are countless tourists. There are no tickets for sale in this Mongolian township, and it is free to visit. 80% of the houses in the village have preserved the buildings of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Three of the five natural villages in Mongolia have been opened to the outside world. There is a beautiful landscape avenue in Mongolian township, with flowers and lanterns on both sides for tourists to visit. You can also see that the residents maintain the most primitive way of life.
These Mongolian villages are worth visiting, and they are living fossils to understand Mongolian historical and cultural customs. Mongolian temples have been kept in the village, open to the public free of charge, dedicated to several emperors of the Yuan Dynasty, and several important inscriptions have been preserved. The village is a street, and many tourists walk around it.
A street doesn't have many features, mainly retaining some ordinary houses and old houses, which have witnessed the years, and only a few have been announced as historical relics. I personally visited the Mongolian township and asked an aunt to understand the history and customs of the Mongols. Aunt said that there are five natural villages in this township, all of which are Mongolian and have many customs. After all, after 700 years, many of them have been sinicized. Only people of their age can speak Mongolian, and the younger generation can't. As for clothes and their traditional clothes, they are too hot to wear in summer, and there are five floors. I don't like wearing it It's too hot and heavy in summer, so I only wear it on holidays. She said that they hold a Mongolian Nadam conference every three years, and people in Inner Mongolia who have contacts with them also come to participate. All five natural villages participated, and the horse riding parade was very lively.
The Nadam Convention is held every three years, and the time is June 65438+February 13 to June 14. At that time, tourists needed to buy meal tickets from 60 yuan. They had meal tickets in 40 yuan, a Mongolian, and they could eat without them. At present, the most lively festival in Mongolia is Nadam Conference.
