Toast song (Ordos Mongolian)
Ballad ? The author is unknown
Golden cups and silver cups filled with wine ? Hands above your head
Fried rice and milk tea with hand-chopped pork ? Today's drink is enough
Friends, friends, friends, please try it. This is a good wine. This wine is thick
Let's share the same heart and soul. Let's be friends for a long time. In this rich grassland *** spend spring and autumn
Expanded:
Toast song is a general term for a type or category of songs. Often used in festive occasions and welcome banquets, it is a kind of song used to toast, persuade, express good wishes and respect.
"Golden Cup", the toasting song, is one of the many Mongolian toasting songs that are most widely circulated and most frequently used. Among the Mongolians, everyone, men and women, young and old, can sing it.
Whenever a guest comes to visit, it must be sung during the toasting to show the host's respect and blessing. The wine cup, traditionally supposed to be a silver-encrusted yellow goat-wood bowl, is accompanied by a hata.
The singing, honoring, receiving and drinking during the toasting process have certain rules and actions. Requirements for the toast: neatly dressed, full of wine, first cup singing, and then bend their heads in honor. Requirements for the receiver: different ages, different movements. But whether or not to take the cup, have to wait until the song is sung, before drinking.
There are some differences in the program and movements due to the differences in the customs of the Eastern Monks, the Western Monks and other places. It should be noted that the music and lyrics of the songs also vary somewhat depending on the region and the circulation. This is the reason that often we hear different people, sung differently.
