No Labrang means "Carnival" in Mongolian, also known as the "Nadam Conference". This is one of the largest traditional festivals of the Mongolian people, usually held from the first to the fifteenth day of the sixth lunar month every year. During this festival, the Mongolian people hold a variety of cultural and entertainment activities, such as polo matches, singing and dancing competitions, craft demonstrations, horse riding competitions, etc. It is an important stage to showcase the essence of Mongolian folk culture.
The origin of Labrang has a long history, originating from the Mongolian ceremony of worshiping heaven. In the traditional Mongolian culture, the horse is a very sacred animal, and its spirit symbolizes wisdom, nobility, fearlessness and other qualities. Therefore, in the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, people will use horses to sacrifice to the gods to pray for a good harvest and happiness. Later, this heaven-sacrifice ceremony gradually evolved into the colorful No Labrang activities and became an important part of Mongolian culture.
In contemporary society, No Labrang, as a traditional cultural and entertainment activity, has attracted more and more people's attention and love. In addition to Mongolians, people from many other ethnic groups also participate in this festival to appreciate and learn about Mongolian cultural heritage. At the same time, No Labrang has also become an important platform for cultural exchanges between China and Mongolia, which has deepened understanding and enhanced friendship between the people of both sides. It can be said that No Labrang has gradually become a cultural feast with global influence.
