Traditional Mongolian art should be protected and promoted, and it belongs to all of humankinds.
Raxiodser, 77
Inheritor and singer of Mongolian epic cycle, The Epic of King Geser
來自通遼市扎魯特旗的拉西敖斯爾今年77歲了。撥弄著手中的四胡，他輕聲吟唱著《格斯爾》中的經典曲段�！陡袼範枴繁蛔u為世界最長史詩，年逾七旬的拉西敖斯爾老人仍能一字不漏地記住每一句歌詞、每一處旋律。
Holding his four-stringed fiddle, 77-year-old Raxiodser, a musician from Jarud Banner in Tongliao, Inner Mongolia, can still remember the texts of the “Epic of King Geser,” an ancient epic cycle reputed by some to be the longest in the world.
16歲時，拉西敖斯爾加入了烏蘭牧騎，成為一名光榮的民間藝術家。打那時起，他就決定奉獻自己的一生，傳承并弘揚傳統(tǒng)文化。師承《格斯爾》大師琶杰，他將這一偉大的民間藝術發(fā)揚光大。時至今日，許多年輕藝術家?guī)煶兴�，將這一文化瑰寶奉獻給世界各地的觀眾。

Culture inheritance in Inner Mongolia: the story of great King Geser
“蒙醫(yī)藥的歷史源遠流長。如今，這一民族瑰寶正在逐漸復興，從一門較為小眾的傳統(tǒng)醫(yī)學轉變?yōu)橄到y(tǒng)現(xiàn)代的醫(yī)藥科學，為更多人所熟知�！�
白彥滿都拉，63歲
內蒙古民族大學退休蒙西醫(yī)結合臨床醫(yī)學教授
“Generally considered to date back to the time of Genghis Khan (1162-1227, founder of the Mongol Empire), TMM is now stepping out of a relatively small circle of practitioners to reach more people.”
Bayanmandula, 63
Retired professor of traditional Mongolian medicine (TMM)
雖已退休多年，63歲的白彥滿都拉依然執(zhí)著于蒙醫(yī)藥的科學研究。作為“文革”后的第一批蒙醫(yī)專業(yè)大學生，白彥滿都拉將自己的青春和熱誠都奉獻給了蒙醫(yī)藥。老驥伏櫪，志在千里。如今已經退休的他依然為學生講課答疑，將這門古老傳統(tǒng)醫(yī)學的秘密傳遞給年輕的一代人。
Born into a Mongolian family, Bayanmandula started to grow a keen interest in TMM when he was a child. When China's national college entrance exam, the gaokao, resumed in 1977, Bayanmandula took the exam and was admitted to the Inner Mongolia Medical University, becoming one of China's first university students to major in TMM.
歷經數(shù)十年的辛苦耕耘，白彥滿都拉所在的內蒙古民族大學蒙醫(yī)藥學院已經擁有發(fā)明專利15個、新藥證書2個、臨床批件6個，專著60余部。每年，超過1100名中外學生來內蒙學習傳統(tǒng)蒙族醫(yī)藥，許多學成后都成為了專業(yè)的蒙藥醫(yī)師。

“普通話是我們中國人的母語，蒙語是我們蒙古族人的文化根源，英文則讓我們的孩子走向世界，他們將成為內蒙古新時代的領航員�！�
康喜瑪，52歲
扎魯特旗蒙古族實驗小學校長
“The Mongolian language is our cultural root, Mandarin represents our identity as Chinese, while English makes our students international citizens, our children will lead Inner Mongolia to a brand-new era.”
Kangxima, 52
Head of Jarud Mongolian Primary School
作為中國蒙古族人口最多的地級市，通遼的蒙古族語言和傳統(tǒng)文化教育發(fā)展迅猛，方興未艾。在全市109所以蒙語授課，弘揚蒙古族傳統(tǒng)文化的中小學中，扎魯特旗蒙古族實驗小學的教育成果尤為出色。
Located in Tongliao, a city that has the largest Mongolian population in China, Jarud Mongolian Primary School is one of the 109 local schools that feature traditional Mongolian culture, as well as using Mongolian as their primary teaching language.
自2005年起，康喜瑪便開始邀請蒙古族民間藝術家來學校開設蒙族文化興趣班，并聘用專業(yè)教師培養(yǎng)孩子們對本民族文化的熱愛。目前學校開設十余個蒙族文化興趣班，教授烏力格爾、馬頭琴、科爾沁民歌、蒙古象棋等科目。
Though traditional Mongolian culture has always been a compulsory course at school, Kangxima invited cultural experts to develop a systematic teaching module for the students. From 2005, Kangxima and her colleagues began researching Mongolian culture, as well as designing a professional course for the students.
“我是一個教育工作者，也是一個地地道道的蒙古族人。在流行文化沖擊傳統(tǒng)文化的大環(huán)境下，保護和傳承蒙古族的文化瑰寶就顯得尤為重要。我們的孩子要海納百川、博采眾長，在掌握本民族語言文化的基礎上，還要團結其他民族的小伙伴，了解世界文化。做一個熱愛祖國的中國人，一個以民族文化為榮的蒙古族人，一個通曉世界的世界公民�！笨迪铂斦f。

“常有人跟我說治沙植樹不是女人該干的活，但我絕不認同。女人和男人一樣有手有腳，一樣勇敢堅強，也一樣能為家鄉(xiāng)的綠化和沙漠的治理貢獻自己的力量�！�
敖特更花，43歲
獨貴塔拉鎮(zhèn)治沙民工隊隊長
“People told me that planting trees was not a job for a woman. I wanted to prove to them that women are as strong as men, and we can also make our contribution to stopping the spread of desert.”
Otgonhuar, 43
Leader of sand control team in Kubuqi Desert
敖特更花的家鄉(xiāng)獨貴塔拉鎮(zhèn)位于中國第七大沙漠——庫布其沙漠的腹地。小時候的敖特更花憎惡沙漠，憎惡自己的家鄉(xiāng)。在她看來，沙漠吞噬了她生活中一切美好的事物，埋葬了歷代人對綠色的渴望。
Living in Duguitala, a small village nestled in the Kubuqi Desert, China's seventh-largest desert, Otgonhuar used to hate her hometown and the deserts surrounding it.
“小時候，我們家的房門常在一夜之間就被沙子堵住，只能破窗而出。房屋常被黃沙掩埋，當?shù)厝酥荒懿煌５匕峒��！卑教馗ㄕf道。
"When I was a kid, moving dunes would block our doorway overnight, and we had to fight our way out from the windows. Our houses were constantly buried under sand, so we had to move quite often," said Otgonhuar.
隨著庫布其穿沙公路的開通，敖特更花的想法發(fā)生了改變。她不再對沙漠植樹這一倡議嗤之以鼻，而是全身心地投入其中，想要為家鄉(xiāng)，為沙漠帶來一抹寶貴的綠色。作為獨貴塔拉鎮(zhèn)200多個治沙民工隊唯一的女隊長，敖特更花向世人證明，女人能頂半邊天，女人能種半坡樹。
In 2007, Otgonhuar received an offer from a local company to plant trees in the Kubuqi Desert. She gathered workers from poor families and began her tree-planting business. Under her leadership, 25 low-income workers now earn a daily wage of around 200 RMB.
“我的民工隊鼓勵女性的加入。我希望她們能擺脫世俗偏見和自身的局限，大膽地投入到自己所熱愛的工作中。這世上沒有男人能做，女人不能做的事情�！� 敖特更花說。

"Cow manure can be used to grow shrubs and grass, while foraging naturally can help cattle grow healthier and faster. Now all of our cows are kept in controlled areas to help protect the local environment."
Liu Jinshan, 39
Cattle breeder, leader of poverty alleviation
乍看之下，劉金山的養(yǎng)牛場并不起眼，這里卻是中國西門塔爾牛的發(fā)源地，也是馳名中外的科爾沁牛肉的故鄉(xiāng)之一。
Located in Horqin Left Rear Banner of Tongliao, Inner Mongolia, Liu Jinshan's small pasture is not impressive at first glance, but the cattle here enjoy worldwide popularity. Horqin beef, the only meat produced in China that is recognized by the International Meat Secretariat, has helped locals leave poverty behind.

26歲的呼麥藝術家朝格圖來自蒙古國。幾個月前，他和同伴們來到鄂爾多斯，在這片浸透著蒙古族文化的熱土上，這批年輕人開始了自己的表演生涯。
Qogtu, a Khoomei singer from Mongolia who has been performing traditional throat singing at a cultural theater in Ordos for three months, said he would promote traditional Mongolian art to the world.
在朝格圖看來，內蒙古是一片適合傳統(tǒng)文化生存的土壤。觀眾們對他的呼麥表演報以熱烈的掌聲，這讓他深感驕傲，也為自己作為中蒙兩國文化使者的角色感到自豪。
“Khoomei is a traditional art form that has been practiced for hundreds of years. I studied it at school, because it makes me proud of Mongolian culture,” he said.
雖然朝格圖在內蒙古才生活幾個月，他對這片土地卻產生了深深的感情。他希望自己的歌聲能在這里受到歡迎，也希望能為傳承呼麥藝術貢獻一份力量。

“I am now carrying the responsibility to preserve Uliger, for which I feel very proud. I hope more people can learn about my culture through my performance.”
Qinggelt, 13
Student from Jarud Mongolian Primary School
美國作家歐亨利曾說道：“當一個人熱愛著他的藝術時，再多的付出也可以忍受�！�13歲的青格勒圖或許沒讀過歐亨利的作品，卻是這句名言的踐行者。他的父母為他取名“青格勒圖”（蒙語意思為開心），而這個男孩也在烏力格爾這一傳統(tǒng)蒙族藝術上找到了屬于自己的快樂。不論炎炎夏日還是簌簌寒冬，青格勒圖和他的伙伴們都毫不松懈地練習烏力格爾。
O. Henry once wrote, "When one loves one's art, no service seems too hard.” Although 13-year-old Qinggelt may know nothing about O. Henry, his love for Uliger, the traditional Mongolian art of singing, has shown the truth of this famous statement.
烏力格爾又被稱為蒙古族的說唱音樂，是一種將蒙古族文學作品和傳統(tǒng)音樂合二為一的藝術表現(xiàn)形式。烏力格爾藝術家一般手持四胡，慷慨激昂地歌頌蒙古族的神話人物和民族英雄。
Dubbed "Mongolian rap," Uliger is a form of traditional art that combines Mongolian music and literature, telling the legends of Mongolian mythological and historical heroes. Uliger performers usually play on a four-stringed fiddle, singing the stories rhythmically.
“烏力格爾是蒙古族文化中不可或缺的一部分，已經代代相傳很多年了。我的爸爸媽媽都很喜歡我唱烏力格爾，每天我都要花很多時間練習烏力格爾，但我不覺得累，我覺得很高興�！鼻喔窭請D說。
