In order to increase the integration of cultural and tourism development and build a beautiful pastoral area, Yijinhuoluo Qi has determined to build a group of "intangible cultural heritage Gacha" and "intangible cultural heritage herders."

　　Suburga Gacha, Suburga Town, where Tumeng Jiriga is located, was the first "intangible cultural heritage Gacha" in Inner Mongolia, and Tumeng Jiriga became the first batch of "intangible cultural heritage demonstration households".

　　On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the Mongolian people call the Fire Festival.

In order to feel the charm of the Fire Festival, the reporter walked into the compound of Tumeng Jiriga.

As the inheritor of the traditional yurt-making skills of intangible cultural heritage, Tumeng Jiriga told reporters the story of his determination to promote the nation's excellent traditional culture and work hard to get rich.

　　Tumengjiriga's grandfather and father are both well-known local carpenters. He was influenced by his family and loved carpentry since he was a child, especially watching his elders make yurts.

In 1993, Tumeng Jiriga, who had returned from the army, came to work in a nearby yurt processing factory. After hard research, he mastered every process of making yurts.

　　The yurt is the crystallization of the wisdom of the northern nomads. It has accompanied the Mongolian people through thousands of years of history and witnessed the multiplication of the nation. It is an important part of the Mongolian culture.

"As the inheritor of the traditional yurt making skills, I feel very honored, and I also deeply feel the great responsibility of promoting national culture." Tumengjiriga said.

　　Beginning in 2013, Tumeng Jiriga opened his own Wanfu Yurt ethnic products processing plant.

The exquisite craftsmanship design and excellent product quality make the yurts made by Tumengjiriga gradually win the favor of customers.

In recent years, Tumengjiriga’s yurts have not only been sold to other alliance cities and some southern provinces and cities, but also exported to Japan across the ocean.

Along with it, there is the excellent ethnic culture of the Mongolian nationality.

　　During the interview, the reporter learned that traditional yurts are mainly composed of three parts: frame wood, thatch felt (covering), and ropes. The indoor air circulation is good, the lighting conditions are good, and it has the advantages of warm in winter and cool in summer, durability, and easy migration. .

"The yurts we are making now will keep the traditional cultural connotation, and try our best to meet the individual needs of customers in terms of exterior decoration, interior furnishings, heating methods, etc., to make them more exquisite and practical." Tumengjiriga introduced .

　　In 2020, Yijinhuoluo Banner decided to build a contiguous "intangible cultural heritage Gacha" in Suburga Town to promote the deep integration of the cultural and tourism industry. Tumengjiriga saw a new path for development.

"This year, I will add Mongolian gown sewing business, build the yurt base well, run Mujiale, develop more experiential cultural tourism projects, and further increase income." Speaking of future development, Tumeng Jiriga was full of confidence.
