Sino-mongolian traditional historical relations regarding music and songs

Abstract

We are living in the era of globalization, when cooperation between nations is based on mutual understanding, peaceful agreements are made to deal with conflicts, commercial, economic and cultural relations develop in broad aspects.

               Culture and art are important aspects for development of trust and friendship between nations and states.

The historical traditions of cultural relations between Mongolian and Chinese people are viewed on the ground of below mentioned reasons:

-Since the ancient times the geographical position of Mongolia and China implied a common border, so trade, economic, cultural relations developed a long time ago;

In over two hundred years of oppression by the Chin empire the Mongolian and Chinese people developed friendly ties and shared their joys and sorrows;

-A fact that groups of Chinese people resided in a sparsely-populated Mongolia, marrying Mongolian, living for their entire lives in the country, having children, created conditions for introduction of Chinese words into Mongolian folk songs;

-Mongols went with caravans to China to engage in trade;

-The frame of mutual relations has expanded even further at present;

-Existence of Chinese words in Mongolian folk songs is not related to poor vocabulary or lack of words for common use, but rather indicates that Mongolian were intellectually capable of enriching their vocabulary with foreign words. I hope that the issue of Mongolian-Chinese relations in the field of culture and music, raised in this paper, will contribute, even if in a small measure, to further harmonization of cultural relations of our countries. If researchers pay attention to further careful study of the links between Mongolian and Chinese folk songs from theoretical and historical point of view, enriching it with new facts and evidence, developing and determining its future, the tradition of Mongolian-Chinese cultural relations will become even more comprehensible.
