On August 13, 1988, the Hohhot Evening News reported that on August 1, the day of the Genghis Khan Mausoleum Festival, Rigi Klushou, the son of the leader of the Canadian black-footed Indian tribe, and his wife, went to Chengling to install Indian TP. Previously, they had visited the mausoleum of Genghis Khan.
What does TP mean? According to this report, the reporter said that the so-called TP is the English abbreviation of the felt bag where the Indians live.
At 3 p.m. on August 1, rigi Klushou, the son of the black-footed tribal leader, and his wife Ruosi, accompanied by the elder Shazhildai of the Dargut Mongols who have guarded the Tomb for 38 generations, went to the Genghis Khan Palace, 500 meters southeast of The Chengling, to perform the Indian TP ceremony.
After Rigi Crewe commanded the people to set up an Indian TP, the placement ceremony began.
Whether the TP is similar to this Indian tent is unknown
Rigi Krushou and his wife changed into Indian costumes, and Rigi dug a small pit in the ground, poured a handful of tobacco leaves out of his leather bag and put them into the pit, lit them with incense, and then in the faint smoke, he closed his eyes and closed his palms, and his mouth read words.
After that, Rigi said: According to Indian tradition, after every TP is placed, a story must be told. The Indians believed that the crossed wooden pillars in the TP represented the various peoples of the world, and the rope wrapped around the wooden pillars was the link between the peoples of all ethnic groups. I was particularly pleased because the Indians worshipped eagles the most (two eagles were tattooed on two of Rigi's own arms), and when I was visiting the tomb, I saw an eagle on the gatepost. This shows that Indians and Mongols are the same at this point. Indian TP is the most suitable place here.
Indians
The Rigous handed over a cloth bag that marked the handover of the TP to Sariledai. Inside the cloth bag was a pipe, a thinly braided tobacco leaf, and a handful of incense for lighting cigarettes. This concludes the ceremony.
After the ceremony, the visitors took a group photo with Mr. and Mrs. Rui against the background of TP.
Rigu introduced people to their black-footed tribe. Their tribe lives in a tribal confederation in the Western Ghetto Range of Canada, which has three tribes and 13,000 people. There is a river of silt deposits under the mountain where their tribe lives, and after people wade into the water, their feet are black, hence the name of the black-footed tribe. Their black-footed tribe is mainly engaged in animal husbandry, handicraft production, and can sing and dance.
Riku talked about his views on China and the Mongol nation. He said that what impressed china most deeply was that one was that there were many people; second, it was very friendly. Indians and Mongols have the same skin color, and many of their living habits are the same, which feels kind.
