This week’s mongolia

The main festival was held for 19 days from September 17, 2021.

This is the 30th time.
It’s a big book event for book lovers, and the venue is Sukhbaatar Square in the center of the city.

Approximately 40,000 people visited during the period, and approximately 100 publishers and 300 writers participated.
The theme of this year’s festival is “Let’s protect the vertical characters of Mongolia and ethnic culture”, and it was a special event where you can see rare historical books and cultural books of the Mongolian people.

There are many Cyrillic notations in the city of Mongolia.

[Ном] This is a Cyrillic script, meaning [book]. Is [Nom] close to the pronunciation?
This Cyrillic script is a Russian script. Mongolian has a beautiful typeface vertical Mongolian script.
In history, it was forbidden to use it and it was written in Cyrillic.

The pronunciation and meaning of Mongolian remains, but the characters are Russian.
If you compare it with Japanese, it feels like Japanese is written in Roman letters.

Since Mongolian has Mongolian script, the recent momentum is to rebuild the Mongolian culture.
Nowadays, even elementary schools are beginning to teach Mongolian script.

However, elderly people are studying Cyrillic script, so it is not possible to fix everything suddenly.
It takes time, but we are in the process of regaining culture and carefully handing it down.

This festival’s dema, where you can think about the characters that convey history.
There are many others, many, many!
[Main Festival] is an event that gives you a chance to think about culture.

** Scheduled to be held in 2022 as well!

This is an event that book lovers should definitely watch.
