After breakfast, Tubuzab and Nachin returned, we said goodbye to them and prepared to go with Peter to Khorlinsk.

I took out the prepared gifts and gave them them, but Tubu Zabu was obviously very surprised, and he refused for a long time before accepting them.

When we came to the yard and saw that the snow had been cleared from our car, my heart was touched. I told Peter that we wanted to thank them for saving their lives, but I don't think they would accept it.

Peter said to him, "If you give them money, Tubzab will never take it."

The sky was unusually clear, and after a night of heavy snowfall, it was as if a new white fluffy coat was being put on, and the white was dazzling. There are only two colors in the whole world: blue sky and white ground.

Taking a deep breath of the cold and fresh air, I felt unusually happy!

Reluctantly bidding farewell to the kind and enthusiastic life-saver, our car followed Peter's police car on the road.

Along the way, I admired the simplicity and loveliness of the family. Sergey apparently also liked the family in particular.

He asked in a somewhat excited tone:

- "Linna, I think you know them well?" ”

- "I don't know, but there are quite a few Buryats in my homeland, and I have some contact with them before, so I know a little bit about their personalities. I replied.

- "Linna, if you want to say that you are special, you will not object, right? Sergey said

- "Is there one?" Maybe I live on the border, in a minority area, so my experience is a bit different! I said

- "What kind of people are Buryatia?" Sergei asked with curiosity in his eyes.

A branch of the Buryats Mongols, belonging to the yellow Siberian type, also known as the "Buryat Mongols", also known as the Blat.

The Buryats originally practiced shamanism, while the inhabitants of the East Baikal region mostly practiced Lamaism.

Since the 20s of the 20th century, most of them have changed from nomadic to sedentary, and their culture and life have been deeply influenced by Russians.

The total population of the Buryats is about 436,000 and is now mainly located in Russia, Mongolia and some parts of China.

Among them, there are more than 420,000 people in Russia, more than 40,000 people in Mongolia, and nearly 8,000 people in China, who moved into China one after another after the October Revolution in Russia, and finally settled on both sides of the Sini River in the territory of the Evenki Autonomous Banner in Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

The Buryats in Russia are mainly distributed in the Buryatia Autonomous Republic of the Russian Federation, and some are distributed in Chita, Irkutsk and other places, and are one of the larger ethnic minorities in Siberia.

The Buryat people are ethnically close to the Erut Mongols. Their ancestors were originally nomadic in the Transbaikal region, but later developed north to the area between the Yenisei and Lena rivers, where they mixed with the local population to form the modern Buryats.

The earliest mention of the Buryats is in the Secret History of the Mongols, a tribe of people in a forest called "Buriyati" who had been subjugated by Jochi.

According to historical records, in 1207, Genghis Khan ordered his son Jochi to lead an army to the west, and the Buryat department became a subordinate. By the time of the Mongol Empire, it was Mongolized and spoke Mongolian.

In the 13th ~ 14th centuries, they absorbed some elements of the northern Mongol tribes.

In the 17th century, the Buryat tribe was formed by the combination of the Bragats, Ekhlits, and Hangodors of the western shore of Lake Baikal and the Khorin people of the eastern shore.

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the Russians established the Yakutsk Governorate. The Cossacks conquered a large area around the Lena River, built Irkutsk on the west side of Lake Baikal, seized pastures on all sides of the lake, built fortresses, and entered into fierce clashes with the Buryat Mongol tribes stationed east of Lake Baikal.

After 25 years of war, the Buryats were completely subjugated before they surrendered to Russia.

But part of them rebelled against Russia to the end and moved south into the Khalkha territory. Another part of the Buryats, who defected to China when the Qing army defeated the Russians west of the Heilongjiang River, were given the name "Balhu people", incorporated into the Eight Banners, and settled in the Hulunbuir region.

In the middle of the 17th century, the patriarchal clan system of the Buryats dissolved, and early feudal production relations began to develop, but customs such as blood revenge and clan mutual assistance were retained for a long time.

The Buryats of Russia are similar to the Mongols in terms of their national language and customs, and their architecture is different from that of other Russian cities. In terms of life, they began to settle or semi-settle at an early stage, and their houses were mostly made of brick or civil structures, and some of them also laid floors, tiles or leather. Next to the house is a livestock shed with iron roofs and brick and timber structures.

Even if you live in a yurt, the inside of the yurt is very clean, fully furnished, and well placed. Almost every house has a cassette recorder, a television, and some have a refrigerator. They pay attention to the comfort of life, sleeping in iron or wooden beds.

They use a meat grinder to make meat and milk separators to process dairy food; Every family has a bread oven, and the bread baked is delicious in color, soft and delicious.

The Buryats are unpretentious and hospitable. Many Buryats still maintain a more traditional way of life, subsistence in the main foodstuffs, and each family has a small yard where vegetables and fruits are grown, and pigs, chickens and other livestock and poultry are raised.

The Tubzab family is the most typical Buryats. From them, you can feel the most simple and lovely virtues of this nation!
