Genghis Khan, the founder of the Mongol Empire, was an outstanding military strategist who led the Mongol army to conquer the Western Xia, Western Liao and other countries, establishing a vast territory. In order to consolidate his power and position, he carried out many reforms and territorial expansions, which led to the rapid rise of Mongolia into the Mongol Empire.
After Genghis Khan's death, he was secretly buried, and now there is a Genghis Khan Mausoleum in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, which has become his mausoleum and the place where his soul returns, guarded by the guardians who have guarded it from generation to generation.
The legend of Genghis Khan is fascinating: he was born in the Mongolian steppes and was born as a son of an ordinary herdsman, Zamuhe. Genghis Khan led the brave and warlike Mongol cavalry, and with his outstanding military skills, he created the most extensive dynasty in human history.
However, his military career ended with the attack on Western Xia. According to Mongolian custom, the location of the mausoleum had to be kept secret and remains a mystery to this day. After the death of Genghis Khan, generations of guardians lived next to Genghis Khan's mausoleum and strictly guarded the mausoleum.
500 mausoleum keepers have been guarding the tomb of this legendary man of his life from tomb robbers. In order to ensure that Genghis Khan's tomb was not burglarized, these mausoleum guards were placed near Genghis Khan's tomb.
The mausoleum is protected by strict regulations, and it is said that the son of a guard once accidentally entered the cemetery, only to be found and reprimanded, which led to a series of bad consequences. Dalhut's mission, to protect the tomb of Genghis Khan, can be described as a splendid history.
Initially, there were only 1,000 tomb keepers selected by Torre, who moved the mausoleum not far from its original site and built walls and forts around it to protect the mausoleum from destruction. Over time, the ranks of grave keepers grew to 2,000 and even reached 6,000 at their peak.
Today, this contingent continues to expand, and the sacred mission has been passed down from generation to generation, becoming the Dalhut people of the Mongolian steppe. These tomb keepers put their love and longing for Genghis Khan's Mausoleum into practical actions, and regarded the protection of the mausoleum as the most important thing in their lives.
Known as the Dalhuts, they guarded the treasures and artifacts in the Great Khan's tomb for generations, treating them as gifts from the gods and forbidding outsiders to approach them. From the day of their birth, they saw themselves as "guardians of the Holy Lord" and used the faith of Genghis Khan as a beacon of protection.
Unlike other peoples, the Dalhuts seem to have been born to guard Genghis Khan's mausoleum. Dedicated their lives to guarding the mausoleum, they never held any official position. Despite the hardships of life, they persevered for more than 800 years, guarding the mausoleum on the mountain during the day and in front of the mausoleum at night to guard against external aggression.
Their mission is not only to protect the tomb of Genghis Khan, but also to protect the imperial tomb, the whole of Mongolia and the whole world. This faith, this protection, is passed down from generation to generation and will never waver.
According to Mongolian history, after Genghis Khan's death, his 500 guards did a lot of hard labor in various parts of Mongolia, but in order to guard Genghis Khan's mausoleum, they voluntarily stayed, and guarded and protected the mausoleum for generations. This history is full of glorious chapters of loyalty and legacy.
The establishment of the Genghis Khan Mausoleum Administration marks the importance attached to the material life of the Dalhuts, and there are more than 50 Dalhuts who are responsible for guarding, managing and paying homage to the Genghis Khan's Mausoleum, passing on the tasks and management methods of the tomb guards. They see this mission as a faith that is passed down from generation to generation.
Every year on the 11th day of the third lunar month and other important traditional festivals, the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan attracts people from all over the world to pay their respects and beliefs to Genghis Khan, hoping for good luck and blessings under his protection.
Genghis Khan was not only a legendary leader in the hearts of the Mongols, but also a symbol of faith that supported the reverence and protection of future generations, and this belief is amazing.
Genghis Khan's life is full of legends, and he is known as "the first person in the ages" by later generations, and the perseverance of the Dalhuts has also left unique traces in the long Chinese national civilization.
This kind of unhesitating perseverance and protection resists the passage of time like a surging river, showing the spiritual quality of the Dalgot people.
