Characteristics of Mongolians
One of the characteristics of Mongols is that they can't live without horses. Their ancestors used to ride horses everywhere and made heroic achievements. Their labor and production are inseparable from horses, their walking is inseparable from horses, and even their food, shelter and entertainment are inseparable from horses. One of the most popular sports in Mongolia is horse racing, in which people sing horse songs and vault. Even the most famous musical instrument is called Ma Touqin.
So people call Mongolians a people on horseback, and Mongolians have their own language and writing. There are three dialects of Mongolian: Inner Mongolia, Uirat and Balhubriat. At present, the commonly used characters were created by 13 century with Uighur letters. At the beginning of13rd century, the original script was transformed by Mongolian scholar Chay Voser and became a common Mongolian script.

The famous heroic epic "Jianger" is one of China's three heroic epics, and drinking goodness will soon be listed as one of the important medical inventions that have made outstanding contributions to world civilization.
