Member of Parliament D.Bum-Ochir highlighted the deep significance of the upcoming Tsagaan Sar (Lunar New Year) festival, emphasizing its role beyond mere celebration.
"Tsagaan Sar is not just a holiday, it is a form of comprehensive psychotherapy. During this time, people are expected to avoid anger, refrain from using harsh words, reconcile with those they may have conflicts with, and focus on positivity, kindness, and purity of heart and mind," he explained.
He noted that this tradition is one of the reasons the holiday is called Tsagaan Sar (Lunar New Year), as it symbolizes purity and renewal, fostering both individual well-being and social harmony.
"Naadam is the only one in the world, and Tsagaan Sar is the only one in the world too. It is a national holiday with profound psychological and cultural significance. Comparing Tsagaan Sar to other Asian spring festivals without recognizing its distinct Mongolian identity diminishes its true value," he stated.
D.Bum-Ochir further emphasized the importance of preserving Tsagaan Sar’s unique Mongolian characteristics for future generations, ensuring its cultural and symbolic meaning endures.
