    Regarding the governance of the Mongols, we must not think that everything will be fine once the central government appoints heads of government who obey orders.  You must know that the Mongols have a glorious history of being the first ethnic minority to rule China. They have their own spiritual totem, Genghis Khan, and their own language and writing.  It lacks none of these elements that constitute a nation-state.  Later it actually established a country.

    Even during the Manchu era, the Mongolians were the only ethnic group that nominally occupied the upper class together with the Manchus.  From the fact that the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia sit side by side and all the emperors of the Qing royal family have made peace with Mongolia, it can be seen that the political status of the Mongolians is much more important than that of the Han people in the eyes of the Qing government.

    In view of their transcendent status in history, the Mongolian people, especially the upper-class dignitaries who have benefited from it, are inherently resistant to the arrival of Fengjun. Although the general herdsmen appear to be detached, they also have knots in their hearts.  As long as the soil of Mongolian Zionism exists, it will be possible to achieve the goal in a certain era and under a certain situation.  Although countless small ethnic groups in later generations finally established independent countries in name after going through untold hardships, in essence they could only achieve "independence" but not "establishment."

    Mongolia is sparsely populated, and herders move around to take care of themselves, making it very difficult to manage.  Without a team of cadres who understand the Mongolian language and support centralization, Mongolia's future is still like a time bomb for a small group of careerists.

    what to do?  It¡¯s easy to say!

    In history, countless foreign ethnic groups lived together with the Han people and formed a new nation¡ª¡ªthe Chinese nation after long-term and stable exchanges.  For example, the Zhuang, the largest ethnic minority in China, has been completely Sinicized. Why?  Only language and no literature resulted in a lack of inheritance and a change in habits.

    Like the Han people, they farm together, eat the same food, speak similar words, receive education together, serve the country together, and work hard to change their living conditions. At this time, does it really matter what ethnic group you are from?  At this time, the nation is just a simple symbol, just recording past history.  Therefore, Sun Yat-sen's ethnic policy is reflected in the famous saying of the Mongolian compatriots: "Han and Mongolia are of the same species, human rights are inherently innate, and it is appropriate to unite as a group and seek happiness together."

    The large farms and pastures being reformed by Zhang Hanqing require stable personnel. How to change the nomadic habits that have been imprinted in the blood of people on the grasslands for thousands of years is the key point.

    ?It¡¯s actually simple.  Only ghosts would be willing to wander around if they could find lush aquatic plants nearby.  Isn¡¯t it a good example for later generations of herdsmen to abandon their yurts and move into comfortable high-rise buildings?

    "Mongolia has a vast territory and has built dozens, hundreds, thousands, or thousands of large pastures, which are enough to accommodate most herders.  And the factories and mines that were subsequently built in the plan would allow many people to change herding to work.  Wang Shuhan is implementing this plan step by step according to Zhang Hanqing's idea.

    The key is personnel management, which is quite complicated.  Because Mongolians don¡¯t have surnames, or strictly speaking, although they do have surnames, it¡¯s more complicated.

    In total, every Mongolian has his own surname, some are named after their tribe, some are named after their occupation, some are named after mountains and rivers, etc.  After the Northern Yuan Dynasty, in the long historical changes, the Mongols gradually weakened. During this period, except for the Mobei Harakha Mongols, most other Mongolian tribes gradually integrated into Chinese culture.

    During the long-term exchanges, especially in the late Qing Dynasty, the Mongolian yamen declined, and the Mongolian people were transferred to the management of Han yamen.  At the "request" of the Han yamen, the Mongolians translated a certain syllable in their surname into a Chinese character or "created" a Chinese surname for themselves in other ways: for example, the Mongolian surname Qiyan can have many strange Chinese surnames.  , Qi, Qi, Qin, Ji, Chen, Qin, etc.; the Chinese surnames of Nagusi are Na; the Chinese surnames of Kelie Yiti are He, He and so on; the Chinese surnames of Borjijin include Bao, Bao, Bao, Bo,  Luo, Bo, Tai, He, etc.

    For a long time, Mongolian names and Chinese names have been shared in Mongolia at a high rate. The historically famous Gada Meilin took its surname from the Chinese pronunciation of the word "Mo" in its ancestor Mollettu's "Meng"  , whose Chinese name is Meng Qingshan.  Regardless of whether Gada Meilin or Meng Qingshan are mentioned in Mengdi, many people know about them.

    This is limited to the government level.  The lives of ordinary herdsmen have not changed much due to the emergence of such Chinese surnames - they still live in pastoral areas, speak Mongolian that outsiders do not understand, and follow the habits of tribal life and only obey the orders of their respective Taiji.  , basically has no connection with the outside world.

    It is not racial discrimination. In essence, under modern social conditions, if the Mongolian surname is too long, complex and difficult to remember, it will be difficult to integrate into the future society.  Think about how much trouble some inexplicable words in Chinese translation will bring to the text input person, and also seriously affect the efficiency.  After all, even the traditional Chinese characters that have been passed down for thousands of years have been simplified.  Think about writing or typing "Hongji Lati" and "Tie Liangguti", "Hu He Nao Ru De", will it be a bit overwhelming?  Think about modern things like ID cards, credit cards, and phone books in the future. Will it be easy to register them?  Is it easy to check?  Is it possible to communicate?

    The use of Chinese characters is inevitable, and popularizing Chinese has become necessary.

    It¡¯s not that Zhang Hanqing has Han chauvinism. In fact, if the vast majority of the Chinese people speak another national language and write in another national font, he would not object to converting the concepts of Mandarin in later generations to that nationality.  of the Han nationality.  Language exists to facilitate communication, and the Europeans even invented Esperanto!

    Chinese characters definitely occupy a dominant position in China. Ever since Qin Shihuang unified the script, Chinese characters have become a systematic, standardized and highly vital script. They are used not only by the Han people, but also by some large ethnic minorities such as Hui, Manchu and Zhuang.  , let alone those with a small number of people (of course, let¡¯s not talk about the national characters ¡°created¡± by later generations).

    In addition, Chinese characters are a kind of historical inheritance, inheriting the cultural genes of the Chinese nation.  The vast majority of Chinese characters can be understood simply by looking at them, unlike many other foreign languages ??that are composed of words and are expressed purely for the sake of expression.  Historically, Southeast Asia, the Korean Peninsula and Japan were deeply influenced by Chinese Confucian culture and actively accepted Chinese characters, thus playing a considerable progressive role in the development of their countries, fully demonstrating its advantages.

    Although a single and rare language may bring beauty to the archaeological, historical, cultural and linguist communities, it brings difficulties to international communication and economic development, resulting in backwardness, ignorance, and inability to keep up with the times.  Following the trend of world development - the more types of languages, the more translations are needed, and the longer people need to engage in language learning, which is definitely a waste of resources.

    This is Zhang Hanqing¡¯s deep experience from learning English in later generations.  One of the ways to change it is to try to "train on the same track and write on the same text" while retaining the characteristics of the nation. The first step is to make the languages ????of each nation keep up with the trend of world development.

    Therefore, Wang Shuhan, Secretary of the Mongolian Provincial Party Committee, discussed legislation stipulating that herders should choose surnames, namely the "Surname Law", at the first meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Committee with Nasutu (who was officially elected as the governor at the provincial assembly).  Policy is expected to be tricky.

    It¡¯s actually really tricky.

    In order to relieve people's confusion about choosing surnames, Wang Shuhan convened many Mongolian and Chinese scholars to jointly compile a "Guide to Naming."  These great scholars traced their origins and found many clan names from local historical records and took their surnames accordingly.  However, the final research showed that most of the Mongolian surnames were originally "given" by the villagers, and some of them have bad meanings, such as "thief" or "home of seven drunkards". Experts estimate that such surnames will not  Someone will use it.

    After all, it is difficult for ancient traditions to change overnight. In order to minimize the resistance of the Mongolian people, the "Surname Law" allows the Mongolian people to choose the names of historical figures or ancestors as their own surnames. However, more than half of the Mongolians invariably chose the most popular surname in history.  The most famous Mongolian historical figure - Genghis Khan's clan name is "Bo'er Jijin".  Because of his famous name, he naturally became the first choice "model" for Mongolian people to choose a surname.

    According to preliminary estimates, 99% of the Mongolian people have the Chinese surname "Jin" whose surname is "Bo'er Zhijin". This makes Zhang Hanqing laugh and cry, just like the country's surname "Jin" in later generations, and the country's surname "Pu" in South Korea.  It comes like this.  Although the "Surname Law" is still trudging through difficulties, it has accumulated a lot of rare information for future generations to study Mongolian language and characters.  I'm afraid this isn't the young marshal's original intention, right?

    Fortunately, with the brilliant achievements of Mongolia¡¯s ¡°suppression of counter-revolutionary¡± movement, some of the original upper-class people changed the fastest and quickly gave themselves Chinese names.  They are all knowledgeable people, and they understand the consequences of going against the state power, both in terms of theory and political situation.

    Ordinary herdsmen are very happy. For hundreds of years, their ancestors have not been able to have a name that officially belongs to them. Now in their own generation, it has come true.  Although I am illiterate, and although I think Chinese characters are wonderful, I still stare at my name very carefully in the household registration books of various police stations, and some even make gestures with my hands, as if the name is engraved on my heart.  Many years later, the older generation of illiterate Mongolians can still clearly recognize and even write their own Chinese names, as if they are engraved in their hearts.

    In order to reduce the burden on herdsmen, the federal provincial autonomous government also first implemented five-year compulsory education in Mongolia Province outside the three eastern provinces, because the population here is not large and the cost is acceptable.  In this way, from this year on, all Mongolian primary school students began to learn Chinese characters as well.

    It¡¯s not that there is no backlash. Some people think that over time, the Mongolian people will be assimilated by the Han people.  However, this voice was dismissed by the poor herdsmen.  The government is not abandoning Mongolian, it is just increasing the promotion of Chinese.  While groups of younger generations are becoming more and more accustomed to using Chinese characters, the fact that they have not abandoned traditional Mongolian culture and promoted it has completely blocked their mouths.

    Education and localization, the backward Montenegro gradually caught up with the pace of the mainland and started a new journey.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??When the younger generation became more and more accustomed to using Chinese characters, the fact that they did not abandon the traditional Mongolian culture and carry it forward completely blocked their mouths.
