Mongolian oral traditions

Mongolian oral traditions encompass a rich heritage of storytelling, poetry, music, and history passed down verbally across generations. They include epic tales like the "Secret History of the Mongols," folk songs, and proverbs that preserve cultural values, historical events, and spiritual beliefs. These traditions serve as a means of education, identity reinforcement, and community bonding, especially in nomadic lifestyles where written records are less common. Through chanting, singing, and storytelling, Mongolian culture maintains its collective memory and moral lessons, ensuring the continuity of its heritage in the absence of written texts.
