The grassland carries countless of our dreams and also preserves infinite culture. The yurt and its construction skills are an important part of the Mongolian nomadic culture. The unique production skills of the yurt reflect the aesthetics, superb skills and creative talents of the Mongolian people. It has been accumulated and formed in the long-term production struggle and life practice, adapted to the natural environment, and has a unique regional cultural style and irreplaceable ornamental value. At the same time, the yurt construction skills are also the second batch of traditional skills included in the national intangible cultural heritage list, which also witnesses its uniqueness and the necessity of inheritance. On the vast grassland, there are many white tents, which are yurts. The yurt has a simple structure, is extremely strong, and has more wind and earthquake resistance than civil engineering. It is easy to disassemble and convenient to build a tower. It is heavy and can be divided into several parts, so it is also very labor-saving to carry, which fully reflects the traditional construction technology of nomadic peoples. For thousands of years, the yurt has been a symbol of the traditional lifestyle of the Mongolian people. As a unique form in the history of human architecture, it has been continued and preserved with its irreplaceable ornamental and practicality. The shape of the yurt is a symbol of 0 and completeness. The shape of the yurt has been influenced by Buddhist culture in some aspects. The Mongolians often use the eight treasures as the symbol of the yurt and regard the eight treasures as the symbol of peace and auspiciousness.
