Pure-hearted viewers,
welcome to
A Journey through
Aesthetic Realms
on Supreme Master
Television.
Today to conclude
our two-part series on
traditional Mongolian
clothing, we will look at
the diversity of these
costumes among various
Mongolian ethnic groups,
and how this cultural
treasure has influenced
other parts of the world.
We will hear from
distinguished
Mongolian scientist
Dr. Dulam Sendenjav,
fashion designer
Uyanga Tsembel, and
participants of the 2010
Mongolian Deel Festival.
A Mongolian costume
is very abundant, thus
it constitutes many kinds
of details.
In Mongolia,
there are more than
20 ethnic groups;
all those have about 400
kinds of deel, 20 kinds of
hats and belts, as well as
20 or 10 kinds of boots.
According to the many
ethnic group differences,
like, their way of living,
the characteristic of
the territory, traditions
of the ancient times,
the differences in age,
gender, as well as
their title or position, all
ethnic groups garments
differ from one another.
First, let’s look at the
costumes of the Khalkh,
the largest ethnic group,
which represents
over 80% of the total
Mongolian population.
I came from
Dornod Province to
participate in this
Mongol Deel Festival.
Very recently I also
attended an Eastern
regional trade fair of
traditional clothing and
won the Grand Prize
for my costumes.
I am wearing a costume
of a married woman of
the Khalkh ethnic group.
I made this myself.
After retirement, I started
engaging in the making
of traditional clothing.
I wear it often
and feel so proud of
being a Mongolian.
Why does the upper part
of this Mongolian deel
face this direction?
It has a meaning.
We say “Khurai”
by hand like that.
This is called “Khurai,”
meaning “harvest”
or “to keep within.”
We offer to our ancestors
and receive
their blessings, and
when we get presents
we put them into
our chest pocket.
That is why
it is on this side.
When we receive presents
we make a gesture
clockwise to express
our thankfulness.
Could you please explain
now about the costume
you are wearing?
My deel is called
“Khaj magnag.”
This embroidery made
around the dragon is
an ancient traditional
Mongolian art
called coin knitting.
This is made with
coin knitting.
I made this costume
purposely for this festival.
And I put on a belt worn
by Mongolian men.
We say the body is inside
the belt, inside the body
exists the soul.
This means that the belt
protects the body and
the body protects the soul.
Mongolians keep the belt
tight, which means
keeping your soul strong.
The reason why I wear
a hat is that there are no
Mongolians without hats.
The head is inside the hat,
and inside the head
exists the world.
Ancient Mongolians
respected their hats.
Could you explain to us
about your hairstyle?
This is called
the third eye of
ancient Mongolians.
The third eye is hidden
behind the hair.
It means not to lose
anything of yours,
but harvest it within.
The Kazakh people are
a Muslim ethnic group
which account for about
4% of the country’s
population.
Their clothing features
elaborate embroideries
and a characteristic
women’s headdress and
short-sleeved overcoat.
We are attending from
Songino Khairkhan
District with
traditional costumes of
Kazakh nations.
Our traditional costume
has a long history.
This embroidery is
handmade
and by sewing machine.
This is all handmade.
This was made by my wife.
This is a silver belt.
Same as
Khalkh Mongolians,
we also have a tradition
of wearing silver belts.
This is a knife.
This is called
a “Chinjaal” knife.
This in the back
is called Ekse.
What is it used for?
This is a belt.
These are used for
hanging other appliances
and hand tools.
This white cloak is worn
by elderly people.
This is one kind of
decoration which is used
to keep women’s hair
nicely and it is called
“Bursh Dama,”
but we ourselves name it
as “Kasal keste.”
We did all these
decorations including
this “Kasal keste.”
This is included
in all our decorations.
I spent two months to
make all my clothing,
handmade by needle.
What do these
decorations of the
Kazakh costume mean?
This is called
“goyo-todrek.”
Todrek is made for
decorative purposes.
It was made in olden time.
Wearing traditional
Kazakh clothing makes
you feel proud of your
culture and heritage.
Besides Khalkh and
Kazakh, other Mongolian
ethic groups include
Dorvod, Bayad, Buryat,
Dariganga, Zahchin,
and Urianhai.
Each can be identified
by the distinct variations
in their costumes.
The beginning of
Mongolian rich clothing
heritage can be traced
back to more than
2200 years ago,
before the era of Khunnu.
It originated
in the Stone Age.
And then it became
more developed during
the period of Khunnu,
where the Mongolian
deel with
collar originated, which
has either a right
or left barter.
There were special
instructions to wear
Mongolian garments
in the Khunnu period.
The generation and
development can be
divided in 4 categories:
First, ancient times;
second, Middle Ages or
the 13th century,
third, later time or up to
the 17th -19th centuries;
and finally, modern times
or up to the 21st century.
So it has evolved and
changed over a long time.
One of the features of
our traditional clothing is
that it is closely linked to
state rituals and religion.
For instance, it is said
that the hat represents
blooming state,
deel represents
expanding state,
outer deel for strong state,
belt for fulfilling state,
and shoes
for supporting state.
At the ancient time,
Mongolians used to show
the culture of symbolism
of Mongolian customs
during state events,
ritual, and ceremony.
Sometimes these are
even reflected in oral
and written laws and
regulations.
Specially, during
official, state high-level
diplomatic visits, state
attendants and officials
strictly followed the rules
of wearing
special clothing and
performing rituals.
Even ordinary citizens
followed a clothing code
during festivity and
ceremony including
the Lunar New Year, etc.
Through centuries of
cultural blending,
many elements displayed
on Mongolian costumes
can also be found
on the clothing designs of
neighboring countries.
Mongolia was
a great empire
in the ancient times.
Yes, since
after the dependency of
Manchurian Empire,
our Mongolian national
costume became reliant
on the costume of
Manchurian Empire.
Thus the Manchuria
took the style of our
Mongolian costume style,
extended and spread it
over Southeast
Asian countries
throughout history.
While studying
the clothing style of
Bogd Khan Jebtsundamba,
who is a spiritual head
and monarch of
Mongolia, I discovered
reflections of much
symbolism related to
Indian, Tibetan,
and Mongolian history.
So, the deel of
a Mongol king had
9 dragons described.
But Manchurian kings
had 5 dragons described
on their clothing.
As Mongolians worship
the number nine, they
described nine dragons
on the outer deel.
So, from laymen
to noblemen, Mongolians
have reflected their belief
in the decorations
of their deel.
Today,
traditional costumes play
an indispensable role
in presenting the
magnificent Mongolian
culture to people
from all over the world.
The Mongol deel is
a part of our identity and
Mongolians are
increasingly appreciating
their national culture
and traditions,
wearing deels more often.
I am very proud of it.
Also foreign tourists are
very interested in
our national costumes
and they are often seen
wearing them.
What do you think about
Mongolian
traditional deel?
I like it a lot.
That’s why
I very much want it.
And I bought one and
also have made one
several months ago,
because I want to have
a real nice deel which
also reflects my work
which is with water
in Ulaanbaatar,
so it is the blue color of
the water and
I like this a lot.
It feels comfortable to wear.
Could you please share
with us your impressions?
I am very happy to
participate in this event
together with foreigners
who came from overseas.
You have participated
together
and won this prize?
Yes. We won it together.
What ethnic group does
your costume belong to?
This is a costume of the
Zakhchin ethnic group.
I’ve been in Mongolia
for almost three years.
So I have started to feel
little bit like Mongol,
and that’s why I have
participated of course.
Please come and join us
in the Mongol
Deel Festival.
And wear Mongol deel.
I would like to encourage
all children to wear
the Mongol deel.
I would like to tell
modern youths to be
more conscious about
their ancestors’ customs
and culture and
be compassionate
for our world
and love our world.
We sincerely thank
Professor
Dulam Sendenjav,
Ms. Uyanga Tsembel,
and participants of the
Mongolian Deel Festival
for introducing the
fascinating traditional
Mongolian costumes.
From the dazzling colors,
elegant motifs,
lavish ornaments, and
practical designs,
we appreciate evermore
the continuing pursuit of
truth, virtue and beauty
of a noble people.
May the rich cultural
heritage of
the great nation of
Mongolia flourish
in Heaven’s
abundant blessings.
Honorable viewers,
thank you for being
with us today on
A Journey through
Aesthetic Realms
on Supreme Master
Television.
Coming up next is
Vegetarianism:
The Noble Way of Living,

May Heaven’s grace
bring joy
to your loving heart.
