Preface:
Mongolia is doing something! After a humiliating history of recent times, the nomadic people who once crisscrossed Eurasia suddenly announced that they would fully return to the traditional Mongolian script by 2025.
What is this operation? Do they want to "recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors" with China's Inner Mongolia?
Mongolia's "Yangmou" to restore the traditional Mongolian language?
Don't forget, Mongolia became independent from China in 1921 at the instigation of Soviet Russia.
Even more bizarrely, in 1964 they abandoned the traditional Mongolian script they had used in favor of Cyrillic Mongolia. Isn't this a slap in the face? Now we have to return to tradition, is it a conscience or ulterior motives?
If you think about it, the motivation behind Mongolia's move is intriguing. On the surface, the full restoration of the traditional Mongolian language seems to be aimed at integrating with the internal Mongolia and bringing the national feelings closer.

But don't forget that Inner Mongolia is an inalienable part of China's territory. Will Mongolia have deeper political considerations in doing so?
You must know that language is not only a tool for communication, but also the root and soul of a nation. Mongolia's revival of traditional Mongolian may be an attempt to reshape national identity and enhance cultural independence.
However, in the reality of international relations, culture and ideology are often difficult to escape from the constraints of power. As a small country, Mongolia is not easy to strike a balance between China and Russia
In the face of China's rapid rise, although Mongolia is actively developing economic and trade cooperation and striving to benefit from it, it is also strengthening relations with Russia, United States, Japan and other countries in an attempt to balance China's influence.
Could the revival of the traditional Mongolian language be an attempt to seek cultural and ideological autonomy?
The mystery behind this "conspiracy" of Mongolia is unknown. However, whether it is a sincere "return to the ancestors" or other plans, this decision will have a far-reaching impact on Mongolia and even East Asia.
The fate of the traditional Mongolian language may be related to whether this once glorious nomadic people can regain their former glory.
Moving Forward: The Cultural Dilemma of the Revival of Traditional Mongolian
When it comes to reviving traditional Mongolian, Mongolia can be described as "full of ambition and shy in pocket".
This decision may seem ambitious, but in reality it faces many difficulties. Do you think that as long as you announce it, everyone will be able to change to traditional Mongolian immediately? Don't make a fuss, reality isn't so sweet!
The first to bear the brunt are young people, and that is the future of Mongolia. They have long been accustomed to Cyrillic Mongolia and are unfamiliar with traditional Mongolian.
Trying to get them to learn again is even harder than climbing to the sky. Do you look at how they play with their mobile phones, and do they have time to learn traditional Mongolian?
Don't forget, Mongolia has been using Cyrillic Mongolia all these years, and various computer systems, publishing and printing have long been adapted.
Now that we suddenly have to switch to traditional Mongolian, the technical challenge is not covered. When the IT guys heard the news, they must have scratched their ears and cheeks. This is enough work for them!
Mongolia's education system is even more difficult. Teachers have been teaching Cyrillic Mongolia for decades, and now they are converted to traditional Mongolian, isn't that embarrassing?
The textbooks and lessons had to be restarted. This battle is enough for the school to drink a pot.
The revival of the traditional Mongolian script may seem like a matter of writing, but in fact it is a matter of great importance.
This is about the identity and dignity of a nation! Mongolia once abandoned its own writing, which was a big blow to their pride. To regain tradition is to regain the lost roots and soul.
Is cultural independence not the cornerstone of a country's survival and development? If Mongolia wants to have its own voice on the international stage, economic strength alone is not enough, cultural soft power is also indispensable.
The revival of the traditional Mongolian language is to show the world that we Mongolia people have our own characteristics and do not follow the crowd!
If Mongolia wants to revive the traditional Mongolian language, it is destined to be a thorny road. The alienation of the younger generation and the technical problems are testing the determination of this nation.
However, for the sake of national dignity and cultural independence, no matter how great the difficulties, we must rise to the occasion. The final outcome of this cultural revolution depends on the consciousness and fighting spirit of the Mongolian people.
The Way of Balance: The Rising Choices of China and Mongolia
This "sandwich biscuit" in Mongolia is not having a good time. On one side is Russia, the former big brother, and on the other side is China, which is in full swing.
Left and right? That's not necessarily, it's not pleasing to both sides. Especially in the face of China, an increasingly powerful neighbor, Mongolia's multiple-choice question is not easy to answer.
As the saying goes, on the territory of the strong, you can only survive by stealing. No matter how reluctant Mongolia is, it has to admit the reality: they have eaten the big cake of China.
The Silk Road Economic Belt, the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor, one big project after another, Mongolia can still say no? Living behind closed doors? That's not realistic. It would be wise to strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation and integrate into regional development.
Yes, eat people with a soft mouth, and take people with short hands. Mongolia is mixed with China, life is better, and the face can not be hung up. How can the descendants of Genghis Khan bow down to their vassals? If this is passed on, six generations of ancestors will be disgraced!
The entanglement in Mongolia's heart, while wanting to do business with China and make oil and water; On the one hand, they are afraid that their own culture will be assimilated and lose their identity.
No, they thought of a trick to "draw salary from the bottom of the kettle": develop their own cultural soft power! The traditional Mongolian card is to play it out and let the world know that Mongolia is not a lamb to be slaughtered.
However, cultural self-confidence is not enough, you also have to have the right to speak. If you look at those international conferences, the Mongolia delegates stood up and spoke, and others ignored them.
If you have the business card of traditional Mongolian, maybe you can attract more attention and let the voice of Mongolia be heard by more people.
Mongolia is not a good game. Cooperate with China, for fear of becoming a vassal; If you don't follow it, you are worried about missing out on development opportunities.
Maintain cultural independence, but you are afraid of losing your share in the world; If you don't keep it, you feel sorry for your ancestors. This dilemma really makes people take a step forward is a cliff, and a step back is an abyss.
Awakening and Hope: The Road to National Rejuvenation in Mongolia
The wheel of history is rolling forward, the former glory is no longer there, and the Mongolia nation has reached the most critical moment. This is an age of awakening, but also a time of hope. The Mongolia people are standing at the crossroads of national rejuvenation and are facing a major choice.
Cultural identity is the cornerstone of a nation's re-emergence. Without culture, a nation loses its roots and soul. Mongolia's return to traditional Mongolian is the beginning of this awakening.
This is not only a return to the written word, but also a return to national pride. Only by regaining its own culture can Mongolia regain its place among the nations of the world.
Cultural revival is by no means a simple return to the past, but an innovative development on the basis of tradition. Mongolia cannot sleep on the merits of its ancestors, but must give new vitality to traditional culture with advanced concepts and technologies.
It's like a tree with deep roots and lush foliage. Only with deep roots and lush leaves can it stand the test of time.
The cultural revival of Mongolia is not a game played by itself behind closed doors. In this era of globalization, exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations are the trend of the times. Mongolia should have an open and inclusive mind, dialogue with other civilizations, and learn from each other.
This is both an opportunity to spread one's own culture and to absorb the nourishment of other civilizations. Only in this way can Mongolia find a balance between tradition and modernity, and achieve a fusion between national characteristics and international perspectives.
The Mongolia nation is a great nation that has created a glorious history. Today, although Mongolia is no longer the world power it once was, it is still an important member of East Asian civilization.
Reclaiming tradition is not only a matter for Mongolia, but also for enriching the diversity of East Asian civilization as a whole. Mongolia should take this opportunity to contribute its wisdom to the development of human civilization on the basis of dialogue on an equal footing and mutual benefit.
The road to national rejuvenation is not destined to be smooth sailing. The awakening of cultural identity is only the first step in a long march. If Mongolia wants to reproduce the majesty of Genghis Khan, it needs to continue to struggle in economic, political, social and other aspects.
This requires the efforts of every Mongolian and the unity of the entire nation. Only in this way can Mongolia live up to its ancestors, the times, and future generations.
Epilogue:
The Mongolian nation is in a great era, an era that belongs to them. The revival of the traditional Mongolian language will be the loudest clarion call of this era.
Let's wait and see how this former nomadic people will write a new glorious chapter on the road to rejuvenation.
Perhaps, in the near future, in the land of East Asia, the sound of the hooves of the Mongolian warriors will once again sound, and it will be a moment worth looking forward to ...
Whether it is "recognizing ancestors and returning to their ancestors" or "having ulterior motives", Mongolia's revival of traditional Mongolian language is the beginning of a long-suffering nation to rebuild its cultural self-confidence and move towards rejuvenation, which deserves understanding and support.
