Cultural Relics Value of Genghis Khan Mausoleum

First, because of Genghis Khan's eight white houses, Ordos has preserved 700 years of Mongolian and Yuan culture. Mongolian is a master of nomadic culture. After the death of Genghis Khan, the formation and development of Erdos Department has the most direct connection with Genghis Khan himself and the "golden family", and it is one of the most important carriers of Mongolian and Yuan culture. After they entered the Hetao area, they also brought the most authentic traditional culture of Mongols in the13rd century and the court culture of the nobles in the Yuan Dynasty. Moreover, because of the sacredness, particularity and importance of their mission, even under the influence of other cultures around them, they still maintained many norms and systems formulated by Kublai Khan without any change. They live in strict accordance with the way of life handed down by their ancestors, and abide by their responsibilities and obligations day after day.

Second, the existence of Genghis Khan Mausoleum has formed the most unique carrier of inheritance-Darhutes. "Since the establishment of the Eight White Courtyards of Genghis Khan, the Daur people have guarded, sacrificed and managed the gods worshipped by the Eight White Courtyards for generations. Under the difficult and difficult conditions in the past, the exhibition turned north and south, protecting the gods worshipped by Genghis Khan and completely retaining the ancient sacrificial culture in the thirteenth century. "

Thirdly, due to the Genghis Khan Mausoleum and Erdos area, Mongolian culture is intact, inheriting the highest standard of Mongolian and Yuan culture-the court culture appointed by the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. Because of her sacred mission, the Mongolian department of Ordos is mainly composed of descendants of Genghis Khan's most trusted tribe. "In addition, this mission is entrusted by the Mongolian emperor and the gold family. From the cultural perspective of its inheritance, it has the noblest cultural attributes of Mongolia, including Mongolian court culture and imperial culture, as well as the inheritance of ancient Mongolian cultural books and cheats. Not only in modern times, but also in ancient times, many cultural details and connotations that ordinary people can't understand and understand have continued in this group all the year round according to the usual practice, and they still exist and show strongly today, becoming the treasure of Mongolian culture. " Because of this, several very famous Mongolian historical classics are also from Ordos, such as The Origin of Mongolia, The History of Mongolia, The Outline of the Golden History of Ming and Qing Dynasties, etc., all of which show that Ordos has a deep foundation for the in-depth study and inheritance of its traditional culture. Judging from the history of China, Genghis Khan is not only a great founder of the Mongolian nation, but also a national hero of the Chinese nation. Genghis Khan and his descendants, wave after wave, unified the Mongolian Plateau, and then unified the whole of China, ending the division and war in China for more than 400 years since the late Tang Dynasty, establishing the Yuan Dynasty with unprecedented territory, and basically laying the map of the Chinese nation today. For this reason, the mausoleum of Genghis Khan, as a symbol to commemorate Genghis Khan, not only symbolizes the unity of the Mongolian nation, but also marks the long-term stability of China.

From the perspective of world history, Genghis Khan is one of the most influential figures in the world for two thousand years. At the turn of the Millennium, Time magazine of the United States selected "Ten Most Influential People of this Millennium", and Genghis Khan topped the list. His influence far exceeds that of Peter the Great, Julius Caesar, Napoleon and others.

He achieved the "most extensive and open handshake" between human beings. Therefore, people all over the world are still full of interest in Genghis Khan and Mongolian ancient culture, and the Genghis Khan Mausoleum in Erdos naturally has world cultural value.
