When staying overnight in a yurt, if you find that hostess is tying a red thread on bed, remember that it should not be easily touched

In recent years, with deepening of aid policy. The tourism industry in Inner Mongolia is also booming. Inner Mongolia is very rich in tourism resources, and you can enjoy a variety of scenery in one place.

On endless prairies of Hulunbair, ride horses, enjoy beautiful snowy scenery of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, go to Daxing'an Mountains to enjoy unique forested winter scenery, and experience wonders of nature in wetlands.

The unique tourism resources also attract many local and foreign tourists. Many tourists who are interested in travel even choose to travel by car, enjoying beautiful scenery of Inner Mongolia along way.

As they say, do as Romans do, this saying is not groundless. Whether we are traveling as a guest or living on a farm, we must respect local customs. When many foreign tourists go on a tour, they often cause resentment from locals with their negligence and even destroy local customs.

A dispute arose between two parties, which not only affected mood of travel and sightseeing, but also dragged out time. For example, some halal restaurants do not allow diners to enter packaged pork, while others must pay attention to respecting their religious beliefs in religious places.

Actually, there are many customs in Inner Mongolia. Recently, we also noticed a hot topic on Internet:When sleeping in a yurt at night, hostess would send a red rope in front of bed. What is causing this?

To understand this issue, we must first understand climate of Inner Mongolia. The climate here is dry and land is barren, making it difficult to conduct agricultural production activities. Therefore, main economic support of people lies in animal husbandry.

And every winter in some areas it will be very cold, and wind is cold, and it is clearly difficult for animals to survive. Therefore, people here need to migrate every year, and in winter move to a warm place in order to live, produce and live again.

There are also many college students who ask counselors for vacation, saying that I want to go home and help my family move, otherwise I won't know where my house is when I get back from vacation. Although it seems a little funny, it still reflects real situation in Inner Mongolia.

People of Inner Mongolia mostly live in yurts which is a kind of yurt tent made of thick fur on outside, which is very windproof. The tent is also very convenient, and disassembly can satisfy habit of local people who migrate every year. When foreign tourists come to this place for sightseeing, they often have to live in yurts.

Local residents not only need to drive cattle every year, but also carry a lot of luggage, so there may not be yurts specially prepared for guests. However, cordial and hospitable Inner Mongols will clearly not allow tourists to live without a permanent place of residence. Tourists are often invited to live in their own yurts with their families.

Therefore, regarding behavior of a woman tying a red thread, some netizens suggest that since men and women are different, woman uses this red thread as a dividing line, and families of tourists and locals are not allowed to cross line. While trust , there is also a certain amount of ego space.

Internet users view this behavior differently. Some netizens also said that this may be a habit of Inner Mongolians. The hospitable Inner Mongols need to not only treat tourists well in terms of food, but also not let tourists get offended when they live at night.

However, strange tourists from all over country may still have certain risks if they do not know details and live together. For their own safety, host family will often watch tourists as they dine or participate in a campfire party to make sure they are trustworthy and can stay night.

Although women have more sensitive thoughts and ideas, this work often falls on shoulders of locals. As soon as hostess discovers that tourist is trustworthy, she will tie a red thread in front of bed to hint to her husband that this person is trustworthy, so she does not need to be too vigilant, and resolves overdue conflict. in a silent way.

Of course, most laid-back netizens have a lot of weird ideas. Many netizens also said that red thread is not tied to scare away evil spirits? This simple literal understanding does not lose its truth.

Therefore, when we go on a tour, meet hospitable locals, enjoy our vacation, we must also remain vigilant and pay attention to safety of our own lives and property. When traveling in area, you must also fully respect local customs, religious beliefs, etc.

If you don't know if you're violating local customs, don't try lightly. Based on respect, pay attention to wording and try to tactfully ask for a reason. When you accidentally cause trouble, do not shy away from responsibility, and those who do not know are not to blame.

If you humbly apologize to locals, you will surely receive their forgiveness. As for this red rope incident, it's actually tactful to ask on spot instead of tossing and turning and staying awake and searching internet for answers. Having worked up the courage to ask, I believe you can get a reasonable explanation.
