THE PHLOSOPHY INFORMING THE MONGOL HORSEHEAD FIDDLE, THE MORIN HUUR

The morin huur is the musical history book of Mongol culture. In its strings, the joys and sadness, pleasure and pain, music and the mental motility of the nomadic community have come down to us over time. That is to say, the instrument is filled with history, colleceted in song. A recent performer, my father Dugars¨rengiin Gombojav (1912-1983) , composed many such song texts about horses and camels.
I should say a few words about how the place of the morin huur from the viewpoint of material culture. The modern tyform of the instrument has developed over history, and Mongol nomads have now reached a point where they are now integrated with things of value to them such as historical culture, aesthetic enjoyment and philosophical understanding..

DYNAMICS AND CONSTANCY OF POETRY

The  Mankind  and  the  Nature  have  always  being  changed  with  passage  of  time  or  centuries. But  the poetry  has  never  been  changed.  Comedy   by  Homer , the  ancient  poet and  the  poems  by   XXI   century’s  poets  have  a  common  character. This  is  the  excitement  of  people.  This  emotion  or  charm  resulting   from  the  poetry  exists  forever  or  are  independent from  the  passage,  character  of  human  being  and  from  the  social  changes.  The genuine  essence  of  the  poetry  will  never  be  disappeared  and  its  affection  character  remains  unchanged.  So  this  is  the  constancy of  the  poetry,  I  believe.

THE UNDULATING AND MAGIC CHARACTER OF POETRY AND NATURE’S ENERGY

Poetry is an unknown light signal from Cosmos.
Poetry is the magic wave of spiritual energy.
Poetry is the heavenly body of human’s inner Cosmos.
Poetry is an outstanding phenomenon of the spirited Mandala.

To speak about poetry within today’s cognitive frame would be a bit insufficient. With other words, one cannot explain many hidden values of real poetry by means of our understanding of things of today. One of these values is the energy wave of the poetry. The energy wave contained in the poetry is an inexhaustible wealth of the poetry culture of the humankind. Strangely enough, in nomadic cultural heritage one often faces something that resembles efforts to manage natural energy through the energy of poetry. This should be given importance and careful study, I think.
