Spending the Night in a Mongolian Ger: Why Can't You Touch the Red String?
Either the heart is in the book, or the body is on the road; the soul and the body, one must be moving forward.
As our country's economy continues to develop, people's living standards and quality of life are getting better and better, and the tourism industry is gradually emerging. We also have enough funds to travel all over the country. Regarding tourism, some people prefer the beautiful scenery of the vast lands, some like the quaint bridges and flowing water, and some are fascinated by the scenery of the grasslands. People in the city often feel a lot of work pressure, and if they go to the grasslands for a vacation, not only can they relieve the pressure they have been accumulating, but they can also enrich their lives, increase their experience, and experience various ethnic styles. Therefore, many people yearn for the vast grasslands and want to see the original nomadic lifestyle of the indigenous ethnic groups.
If you don't go out and explore, you'll think that's all there is to the world.
If you go to the grasslands for a vacation, Mongolia is a perfect travel destination. Some people say that if you don't stay in a Mongolian yurt, then you haven't really experienced Mongolia, because when you come to a new place, you must follow local customs. Mongolian yurts are their traditional dwellings, and they have been used for more than 1000 years. Originally, they were just shelters for Mongols from wind and rain, but now they have undergone great changes. Not only do Mongols pay attention to their lives, but the decorations inside the yurts are also very exquisite. Tourists come here for both fashion and enjoyment. Some tourists choose to spend the night in a yurt, and they will find that there is a red string tied to the yurt.
Why is there a red string tied to the yurt when you spend the night? Don't touch the string, or you'll blame me for not reminding you! Generally, when tourists spend the night in a yurt, the yurt owner will tie a red string on it. You shouldn't underestimate this red string, and you shouldn't move it carelessly. This is actually to test the guests' intentions. If you find the red string is still there when you wake up the next day, they will sincerely be friends with you. If you find the red string is messed up, they will punish you by drinking three cups of wine. Even if you think three cups of wine are not a big deal, for some people with poor alcohol tolerance, this amount is enough to make them unable to find north and south.
Imagine waking up in the morning and drinking three cups of wine, so if you want to spend the night in a yurt, it's best to follow these rules and not touch the string on the bed, or you'll lose out. Three cups of wine down, let alone a self-drive trip, you might even feel dizzy walking. Actually, out of courtesy, we shouldn't move things in the yurt, except for the items we can use, because moving other people's things is not very polite. This custom is very common in local areas. When we go to play, we also need to follow local customs and abide by them.
When you spend the night in a yurt, you should abide by the local rules and customs, because we are guests, and it's best not to move the string carelessly, which will leave a good impression on the Mongolians. Perhaps many tourists will say that three cups of wine are not a big deal, but the local Mongolian wine is much stronger than the white wine we usually drink, and even many wine drinkers have a sense of fear of the string. Seeing this, everyone probably understands that the string on the bed should not be touched, this is a local custom, and you shouldn't blame me for not reminding you!
