“At the morning event on the first day of the 17th year of the Fire Horse, known as ‘Süreer Daragch’, the President of Mongolia Khurelsukh Ukhna, Chairman of the Great State Khural Uchral Nyam-Osor, and Prime Minister Zandan Shatar Gombojav honored the memory of the golden statue of Great Bogd Chinggis Khan,” reports MiddleAsanNews.
At the suggestion of President Khurelsukh, during the days of the first spring month of the Year of the Snake, “Eldev Erdent” of the 17th year, a golden statue of Chinggis Khan, the State Seal, and the Great White Bunchuk were erected and installed at the residence of Chinggis Khan in the National Museum.
This statue is a work of art that embodies the moment when the Great Mongolian Khan Chinggis Khan established a new golden state seal and announced the creation of the Great Mongolian Empire. Legend has it that he showed the people his new seal and joyfully read the decree engraved on it, handing the seal to the khan…
The seal, inscribed with “Мөнх Тэнгэрийн хүчин дор Их Монгол Улсын Далай хаан зарлиг ил болга иргэн дор хүрвээс биширтүгэй, аюутугай” (translated: “Under the power of eternal Heaven. The decree of the Great Mongolian state Ocean-khan. If it reaches the subjects or enemies. Let them bow down, let them be frightened”), and the seal with a lion handle are symbols of the state of the Great Mongolian Empire.
These symbols emphasize that the achievements of the Great Mongolian Empire, founded by him, will be remembered and respected forever, and the state inherited from ancestors will be preserved eternally. The Great White Bunchuk, erected to the right of the khan, symbolizes peace and stability for the people of Mongolia.
From this year, a tradition has been established to celebrate the golden statue of Chinggis Khan on the first day of the new year with the participation of the three main state figures: the President, the Speaker of Parliament, and the Prime Minister.
In the morning hours of the first day of the 17th year, on the central square of Ulaanbaatar, in the year of the Fire Horse “Süreer Daragch”, the flag of Mongolia was raised. At that moment, the exemplary brass band performed the national anthem.
