Mongolian mythology - Swan Totem
The Totem myths of swans are heard among the Britt Mongols, such as Horitumut and Horitimergen.
The work was marked as two, but it actually covered only Horitumut.
The story is that Horitumert is a single young man who has not yet established a family.
One day, as he wandered around Lake Baikal, he saw nine swans coming from the north-east and falling off the lake bank, and became nine fairies who jumped into the lake to bathe, and he stole a swan's swan's coat to hide.
Eight swans flew in feathers, leaving one to be his wife.
After the birth of the eleventh son, the wife wanted to return to her home town and asked her husband to return her clothes, and the husband refused.
One day, the wife was working on a needlework, and Horitumert was cooking with a “catching hand” or two pre-hot tablets.
The wife said, "Please give me the geese, I'll put them on.
I'll go out by the gate.
You'll catch me easily.
Let me try!" And Horitimet thought, "What if he wears it?" So I took the white dress out of the box and gave it to my wife.
The wife was immediately turned into a swan and spreads her wings in the room, and suddenly, the loudly spread wings flew out of the skylight.
"Ooh, you can't go, don't go!" The husband shouted with surprise and reached out in a panic and grabbed the swan's legs, but the swan eventually flew to the sky.
Horitumert says, "Go ahead, but name eleven sons before leaving!" As a result, the wife named eleven sons Hubbardxubud, Galjud Galajud Galajud Garajud, HowachaxowaCai, Harbin Qalbin, Batunai Batuana, Hodexodai, Hushidxusid, ChagancaYan, Saledsaraid, Budunggud Baud, Xaryana Hargarna, and blessed that eleven fathers stayed behind, and said, “May your generations have a happy life and a happy life.” After that, it left in the north-east direction.
The story of this "goose match" is widespread mainly in the Briat and Balhoo regions.
There's also a variable story on the same subject.
The swans were identified as the primary grandmothers of the Briat tribes of Hori, Balhoo and others, as a result of the swanization of women and young people who married and fed.
This reflects both the worship of the dominant god, “Tengri”, by the Mongolians and the marks of the matrilineal community's worship of women.
They see their ancestors as a gift from the heavens, linked to God by blood, and this perception is mirrored by a sense of reality.
What's the reality here? It's a flying swan.
Geographically, Lake Baikal, with its mountainous waters, is well suited for various species of birds to live and breed, with a particularly large number of swans, leaving rich swan rock drawings on the cliffs of the lake.
Horitumert, a tribe on the eastern shore of Lake Baikal, is home to the swans at the mouth of the Balhujin River, and therefore has a deep respect for them.
Why is Britt Mongolia a swan and a resident of Hulenberg, Inner MongoliaThe Balhoo in the district? This is due to the fact that the Balhoo claimed that their ancestors came from the upper Shibuya River and the area around Lake Baikal, whose clan name corresponded to the name “Balhujin”, and that the Balhoos were largely in the same area as the bald horse in Huri, thus creating a common and ancient swan Totten worship.
The day geese are also known among the Mongols of Xinjiang to be the ancestral of the Mongols, who say that many nationalities or tribes in the Mongolian plateau used the day geese as a blessed symbol, even to be sacrificed as a godly bird "Hongjongg".
The hymns of the "Swan's ancestors, the scallop's pole" began in Briat Mongol, when they held their religious ceremonies.
When the northern swan returns to the sky in the spring, Balhoo and Briats will be blessed with a white and fresh milk offering.
Like a song from Saturn, "Handing the Spring Water Bird Bar" sings: "Swans fly, the ice melts, and the mules rise and meet Fok Lo." Hurray! Hurray! ...
their worship of swans and their strict taboos of catch-and-kill and fasting are the result of the swans being inherited from ancient times as the ancestors of the Totem God。
