In the vast grasslands and deserts of Inner Mongolia, camels have always been regarded as auspicious and affectionate symbols and have always been respected by people. The ancient nomadic people chose the best camels and offered them to heaven and earth, mountain gods and tree gods, without using or slaughtering them, and provided them for life.
Camel spirit is also widely celebrated in Inner Mongolia. Grassland people who live in grasslands and deserts, like camels, think that the other end of the desert is an oasis. They are steadfast in towards the distant and full of hope for life.
Extended data:
From the Han Dynasty, from the imperial court to the people, there is a custom of offering camel statues. In the Tang Dynasty, some members of the royal family, dignitaries and camel figurines were buried as funerary objects. Camel-riding pottery figurines unearthed from Xi 'an Tomb, with camels lying on the ground and Hu people riding between two peaks, are gorgeous in costumes and vivid in posture.
After the Tang and Song Dynasties, the worship of camel statues developed from pottery to porcelain, stone tools, wood, jade, bronze, gold and silver, and herdsmen even passed it down from generation to generation, offering them to burn incense and pray at home.
Camels have two spirits: one is to believe that there is an oasis outside the desert; Second, step by step, to the oasis of hope.
They reveal a fearlessness, a tenacity, a sureness and a spirit. No fear, no boredom, no agitation, no grievances, no resentment, no turning back.
