Regional Culture; Mongolian; Spatial PerceptionAbstract
This paper commences with an investigation of regional culture, with a particular focus on the traditional patterns observed in Mongolian society. These patterns are analysed in terms of the Mongolian way of living and travelling, as well as the Mongolian perception of space and the subjective construction of space embodied in Mongolian traditional patterns. This analysis is conducted at the level of body patterns and spatial experience. Finally, the paper presents a summary of Mongolian concepts of space and the pursuit of the "circle" and the yearning for a long-lasting and eternal ideal world. In conclusion, this paper presents a summary of the Mongolian conception of space, the Mongolian pursuit of the "circle" in space, and the yearning for the ideal world that stretches forever.
