Brief introduction of Zhu's praise speech:

Applicant: Bohu County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region

The eulogy of Mongolian in Xinjiang is a unique "ritual literature" of Mongolian folk literature. In a broad sense, it can also include traditional sacrificial words, calling words, praying words, drinking words and so on. As a folk custom event, eulogy is generally used in major celebrations, daily etiquette exchanges, birthdays, birthdays and other important festive activities.

In Xinjiang, zhuzanci mainly spread in Bohu County of Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture and the surrounding Hejing County, Heshuo County, Yanqi County, Bortala Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, Hefeng County and other places where Mongolian people live together. With the development of history, eulogy has become an important ritual in the daily life of weilat Mongolia.

The congratulatory speech generally expresses the love and pursuit of peaceful life and beautiful things. The eulogizers of Mongolian eulogy in Xinjiang must be the elders of the family. Generally, young people are not qualified to eulogize eulogy. The Mongolians believe that the blessing must be a congratulatory speech given by the elderly over the age of 60 to their younger generation, which is also a respect for the elderly. The eulogy involves all aspects of life, such as life etiquette, wedding, festival activities, and general reception and dining. The elders should praise the eulogy, and even the younger generation should bring the wine cup to the elders before drinking. After the eulogy, the younger generation all say "wish everything is successful" with one voice, and so on.

Zhu zanci is not only a folk literature, but also an art of language. It is an important part of Mongolian rhythmic literature, which moistens and promotes the development of contemporary poetry. Folk literature is always unique with the history of the people. Therefore, the Mongolian People's ancient ideas and modern consciousness, life experience and production development, ideological change and belief alternation, life etiquette and ideal pursuit are all reflected in the praise poems. The eulogy of Mongolian in Xinjiang provides a vivid basis for the study of Mongolian People's history of production and thought.
