The main reason for this is that the centripetal force of Chinese culture is too great. If there is a strong civilization in a region, a centripetal force will naturally form.
In the Han Dynasty, barbarians blocked the road in Chang'an. During the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was a city of all nations, and the Japanese came to learn from it at the risk of feeding sharks. The Wanli War of the Ming Dynasty to resist the Japanese and aid Korea made North Korea willing to surrender. Even if the Ming Dynasty perished, North Korea still used it for more than 200 years during the Chongzhen period.
This powerful cultural advantage is irresistible. Is there anyone who resists? Of course there is. For example, South Korea changed Seoul to Seoul. I just want to be Chinese.
What language is used in Outer Mongolia is actually a microcosm of Asian history. It can explain the changes in China to a large extent.
Let’s first talk about what Uighur Mongolian script is?
Uighur Mongolian script was created during the period of Genghis Khan. Before this, Mongolia did not have its own written language. But now that Mongolia has become the largest empire. The language needs to be improved. Why is it called Uighur Mongolian? Because Genghis Khan captured a free tutor: Tata Tonga.
This person is the palm print of Naiman Kingdom. His country was destroyed and he was made a prisoner. He is a linguist with perfect marks in Chinese. Genghis Khan asked him to use the Uighur character to write the Mongolian language (and then ordered the princes and kings to teach the princes to use the Uighur character to write the national language). This Uighur character is the Uighur language, so the Uighur-style Mongolian language is a mashup of languages. The writing style is Uighur style, and the language itself is Mongolian. The text created was Uighur Mongolian.
When it came to Kublai Khan, Kublai Khan did something else and asked their national teacher Pasiba to create a Pasiba Mongolian script. In fact, it was born out of Tibetan. Its creation certainly played a role in promoting exchanges between Mongolia and Tibet. However, with the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the Basiba Mongolian script became a dead script and no one used it. Everyone still uses Uighur-style Mongolian script, after all, this was set by Genghis Khan.
This Uighur-style Mongolian script was used until the middle of the twentieth century. In modern times, as everyone knows, Outer Mongolia achieved independence with the help of Russia. It was a troubled period in China at that time. First, the Manchu Qing Dynasty fell, and then the Northern Expedition, the Central Plains War, the September 18th Incident, and the All-out War of Resistance. China had no time at all. Later, in order to compete for the Soviet Union's use of troops to Japan's Kwantung Army, Chiang Kai-shek signed an agreement and agreed to let Outer Mongolia vote. As a result, people became independent.
After independence, Outer Mongolia began to use Cyrillic to write the Mongolian language and developed a Cyrillic Mongolian script.
What is Cyril? It's Cyrillic letters. Why another one? Have you considered the mood of Mongolian children taking language classes?
The reason is very simple, because Outer Mongolia’s eldest brother is the Soviet Union, and Outer Mongolia has become a satellite country of the Soviet Union. Of course, we must also move closer to the Soviet Union culturally.
Is this good? The advantage is that it is easy to print and spread, but the disadvantage is that Mongolian traditional culture cannot be passed on because it is difficult to express the old culture with foreign letters.
Well, the news in recent years is that Outer Mongolia has begun to abandon the Cyrillic Mongolian script. Why? The reason is also very obvious. The Soviet Union collapsed and it is no longer a satellite state of the Soviet Union. It used to be able to survive relying on the Soviet Union, but now it can no longer do so and has to find another big brother.
So, is China, this former kingdom, his new big brother? Does its use of Uighur-style Mongolian script move closer to China?
It’s hard to say. After all, the most likely way for Outer Mongolia to restore the Uighur-style Mongolian script is to de-Sovietize and de-Russify it. Although Emperor Putin went to Mongolia and shed tears when he saw the flag being raised, he said This was a former satellite state of the Soviet Union. But there is no point in crying now. Outer Mongolia should place more emphasis on the existence of Mongolia itself.
Of course, we also hope that Outer Mongolia will be rich and powerful. After all, we used to be one family.
As mentioned before, Outer Mongolia now feels poor. Actually not poor. After all, there are only 2 million people in 1.6 million square kilometers of land, and there are still mines. As long as the idea is right, it should be a country that can easily become rich.
