Dongwuqi koumiss

Kumiss is sour kumiss, which is called "Qige" in Mongolian and is the favorite drink of herders. It is a precious drink for Mongolian people in various gatherings and grand events. Whenever the grass is lush, when the mare gets off the colt, it begins to milk the mare and make "its lattice" by fermentation. When autumn comes, when the vegetation dries up, make the foals gregarious and stop milking the horses. Therefore, from the dog days to the Mid-Autumn Festival (that is, around August 15th of the lunar calendar), this period of time is called "Qigeneilinchaga" (that is, the festive season of drinking koumiss). Whenever this season comes, herders tie ponies to milk horses in front of every household. After it is made, both men, women and children should drink it. Herdsmen who have not brewed it at home can say goodbye to others and drink it, which will be welcomed. At the Nadam convention, herders always drink heavily to celebrate the bumper harvest and good luck of animal husbandry production. According to Kyle #8226; Polo's Travels records that Kublai Khan once put it at the royal banquet. Camel milk and other drinks are served in golden bowls to entertain guests.
