Mongolian family sleeping together How to bathe and use the toilet

The upper reaches of the Mubei River, now part of the Kent Province of Mongolia, gave birth to a man who changed the history of the world, named Temujin. He is a Mongolian beggar, but he has shown excellent resistance in the tragedy of his childhood. At the age of 27, he became the Khan of the Qiyan Tribe, but he was not satisfied with ruling the capital, and quickly unified the Mongolian steppe through a series of wars. At the age of 44, he ascended the throne and became emperor by the Yangtze River, founded the Great Mongolian State, opened the road of foreign expansion, and spread the glory of the Mongolian people far and wide. However, at the age of 66, he died of illness during the Western Expedition, and the legendary life of Genghis Khan became a historical legend, profoundly changing the course of world history.

The yurt is a symbol of Mongolian culture, a traditional herdsman's house with a small exterior and a spacious interior, with a long history and a lot of skill in its construction. A family usually lives in a yurt, creating a close-knit family environment. In the yurt, bathing and toileting become curious questions. Bathing is not daily during the cold winter months, and Mongolians can go months without bathing. In summer, choose a place with plenty of water to bathe, with men next to the water source and women in the yurt to isolate the space to protect privacy. Toileting is also a matter of privacy, and Mongolian women look for hidden places near yurts to maintain hygiene.

Over time, the Mongolian way of life gradually changed, free-grazing became fixed-point grazing and house-raising, and yurts gradually disappeared. The changes in modern life have led to the gradual distancing of Mongolian culture and customs, which has led to thinking about cultural protection and inheritance.
