A yurt is a type of house inhabited by Mongolian herders. It is easy to build and relocate, and is suitable for pastoral production and nomadic life. The yurt is also called the dome, "felt bag" or "felt tent". According to the record of "Black Tartar Story": "There are two kinds of domes: the system of Yanjing, with willow wood as the bone, just like the southern Fusi, can be rolled Shu, open the door in front of you, such as an umbrella bone, open a hole at the top, called the skylight, all with felt as clothing, can be carried immediately." The system of the grassland is set into a hard circle with willow wood, and the diameter is set with felt tart, which can not be rolled up, and the car is carried on the line. "With the development of the animal husbandry economy and the improvement of the herdsmen's life, the dome or felt tent was gradually replaced by yurts. The yurt has a circular spire, covered with one or two layers of thick felt on top and around it. Ordinary yurts, with a ceiling height of 100-150 feet, a wall about 50 feet high, and a door facing south or southeast.
A round sky, with smoke. The bag door is small, facing south or southeast. It has the characteristics of easy to make, easy to handle, resistant to wind and cold, and suitable for grazing. The yurt is round in shape, with the largest one holding more than 600 people and the smaller one holding 20 people. The erection of the yurt is very simple, it is generally built in a suitable place for aquatic plants, and a circle is drawn according to the size of the yurt, and then you can start to build according to the size of the circle.
After the yurt is set up, people decorate the inside of the yurt. Spread a thick carpet and hang frames and posters all around. The best thing about yurts is that they are easy to disassemble and assemble. Easy to relocate. When erecting, the "Hana" is pulled away to form a circular wall, and when dismantled, the Hana is folded back into the volume to shrink, and it can be used as a cow and a board. Although the yurt looks small, the usable area in the yurt is very large, and the indoor air circulation, good lighting conditions, warm in winter and cool in summer, not afraid of wind and rain, is very suitable for the frequent transfer of herdsmen to live and use.
The yurt is rounded in general style, without edges and corners, and has a streamlined shape. The top of the bag is arched, and its bearing capacity is the strongest, and the body of the bag is approximately cylindrical, forming a strong whole up and down. Therefore, sandstorms and snowstorms on the steppe will not wipe out the yurt. The sturdy yurt can withstand the 10-level winds of winter and spring, because the roof of the yurt is round and cannot hold water, when it rains and snows, the top felt of the yurt is covered, and it forms a spherical closure. Therefore, it can also withstand the heavy rains of the grasslands. It rained heavily for several days and nights, and the house collapsed, but it was safe and sound, and no matter how heavy the rain was, it would not leak into the bag.
The yurt is warm in winter and cool in summer. Mongolia has been cold since ancient times, and "the severe cold of Sanjiu will freeze and crack the horns of three-year-old cows". However, the yurts that Mongolians have lived in for generations have never heard of freezing a person, because first, there is fire in the bag, and there is cow and sheep dung in the pastoral area. Second, in winter, the outside of the felt bag is thickened, and a layer of felt is tied inside, which has better wind insulation performance. Third, when sleeping, warm the house, cover the cover, block the door tightly, cover the sheepskin quilt and leather robe, how can it be cold? Fourth, you can also put a warm kang in the bag and burn the fire from the outside. If the inside of the bag is very hot, it can also be mediated by the top felt; in the hot summer, put on the felt bag on the high ground with a wide field of vision, people sit in it and drink and sing, it is really the fragrance of flowers, the cool breeze blows on the face, the cream is fragrant, it is no less than the emperor of the fairy palace. Because the yurt is shaped like a sphere and has white as the main color, it has a good reflective effect. The back of the building can be opened with a sunroof.
