Ao Bao is a road sign made of stones and a cultural symbol of the Mongolian nation. In front of the Aobao, people usually walk around the Ao Bao three times to show respect and pray for good fortune. So, how does Ao Bao go around?
First of all, keep quiet and don't make loud noises when going around the Ao Bao. At the same time, maintain a respectful attitude and do not step on or be disrespectful to the Ao Bao.
Secondly, walk in a clockwise direction when walking around the Ao Bao. This is not only a traditional Mongolian Xi, but also a respect for the gods.
Specifically, when going around Aobao, start from the left side of Aobao and walk along the perimeter of Aobao. During the walk, you can pray silently or chant ** in your mouth. After one lap, you have to come out from the right side of the Ao Bao and enter the second lap. On the second lap, you can pick up your pace a little, but still be quiet and respectful. After the second lap, you have to come out of the left side of the Ao Bao and enter the third lap. On the third lap, you can gradually increase your pace, but don't run or panic.
In the process of circumambulating the Aobao, if you meet other people who are also circumambulating the Aobao, you can nod to each other, but do not bump or interfere with each other. In addition, if you encounter a damaged or incomplete Ao Bao, you can bypass or walk by the side, and do not be disrespectful or trample on the Ao Bao.
In short, Ao Bao is a traditional Xi of respect and blessing, and an important part of Mongolian culture. During the circumambulation, keep a quiet, respectful attitude, walk in a clockwise direction, and be careful to respect each other and avoid interference.
