Task 5. Reading /11x2=22/

Read the text and choose the best answer.

The origins of TsagaanSar predate the Great ChinggisKhaan. The Mongols of olden times were in touch with nature to a great degree. Their life styles were intimately connected with the earth and sky as well as the seasons. They called them Mother Earth and Father Sky. They judged the seasons by the colors of the earth and its growing things–by the sharpness of the winds, by the positions of the moon, stars as well as the sun. By taking positions of the stars for direction and using the sun and the moon, they created nature’s clock and their monthly,as well as yearly calendar. The hours of the day and the years were named after animals; days and months were named after colors.

In Marco Polo’s journal from the time of KhubilaiKhaan were entries about Mongol traditions. He noted that the last month of the old year was called the black month as it was the coldest, darkest and had the shortest days of any month of the year. The next month was called the white month as it was the end of winter and the beginning of a new year with spring soon to come.
In olden times before ChinggisKhaan, the Mongols celebrated the gracious bounty they had gathered and collected from the produce of their animals–various dairy products as well as dried and cured meats along with wild herbs, berries and root crops, at the end of summer in the fall. They would hold this harvest celebration before the onset of the long cold brutal winter ahead. In 1206, ChinggisKhaan was named Great Khaan and Ikh Mongol (Great Mongol) the country of Mongolia was created. At that time he moved the harvest celebration which was celebrating the end of the summer and beginning of fall to the dates that it is celebrated now which is the beginning of spring (white month) to celebrate the new life such as fresh grass, flowers blooming and baby animals being born. This was also to celebrate the birth of a new nation and the inauguration of the Great Khaan.

During Mongolia’s communist period, the government bannedTsagaanSar and tried to replace it with a holiday called ‘Herder’s Day’, but the holiday was practiced again after the 1990 Democratic Revolution in Mongolia.
