Seasons

Seasons, four periods of the year (spring, summer, autumn and winter) characterized by certain average temperatures. The period during which the Sun passes through one of these sectors is called the season. Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere begin when the Sun passes through the initial circle of declination and its right ascension is 0° (vernal equinox). Summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere occur when the sun's right ascension is 90° (summer solstice). Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere begin when the sun's right ascension is 180° (autumnal equinox). The beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere is considered to be the winter solstice, when the direct ascension of the Sun is 270°... Next: Seasons.

Folk calendar about every day

Every day one season always replaces another and this determines a person’s way of life. In connection with this, a folk calendar was formed in which there were practically no nameless, unmarked days. Every day was special, had its own purpose. All this was determined by climate conditions and astrological phenomena.

A calendar is a system for counting periods of time. The first calendars arose a long time ago, in ancient times, because there was a need to measure time. The word calendar comes from the Latin words caleo - to proclaim and calendarium - debt book. This is due to the fact that in Ancient Rome the beginning of each month was especially proclaimed, and because it was customary to pay debts on the first day of the month. Different peoples counted time differently. Some calendars are based on the changing phases of the moon - lunar calendars; in others - the change of seasons - sunny; in others, the length of the year was coordinated with the change of seasons, and the counting of months was associated with the phases of the Moon. Such calendars are called lunisolar.

In Rus', the calendar was called a monthly calendar. Every day, the month book covered the entire year of peasant life, “describing” day by day, month after month, where each day had its own holidays or weekdays, customs and superstitions, traditions and rituals, natural signs and phenomena. The cyclical nature of the calendar is reminiscent of human life, where spring is youth, summer is heyday, autumn is the time of harvesting fruits (it’s good if there are some, otherwise you can live your life without collecting fruits), winter is the time of wisdom and peace. This cyclicality and rhythm determined the way of life of the farmer. The folk calendar was an agricultural calendar, which was reflected in the names of the months, folk signs, rituals and customs. Even the determination of the timing and duration of the seasons is associated with real climatic conditions. Hence the discrepancy between the names of the months in different areas...

The Republic of Buryatia

- the territory of Russia in the southern part of Siberia, where the Russian border with Mongolia passes. The Republic of Buryatia is located next to Lake Baikal, and 52% of the republic's territory is located in the lake basin.

Buryatia borders on Mongolia and the Irkutsk region of Russia, the Republic of Tuva and the Trans-Baikal Territory. The republic is the homeland of the Buryat people, who have many common customs with the Mongols. The Buryat language is also a dialect of the Mongolian language. The main religions among the Buryats are Tibetan Buddhism and shamanism.

The capital of Buryatia is the city of Ulan-Ude

, which is one of the most interesting cities in Eastern Siberia. The city has many monuments, including the world's largest head of Lenin, and museums telling about the history and culture of Buryatia.

Ulan-Ude is translated from Buryat as Red Uda in honor of the Uda River on which the city stands. The Ulan (Red) part was added during Soviet times. Previously, the city was called Udinsk and Verkhneudinsk (which means Verkhnyaya Uda).

What to see in Buryatia

Most tourists to the republic are drawn to Buddhist monasteries known as datsans, the most famous of which is the Ivolginsky datsan outside Ulan-Ude. Another important attraction is the Transbaikalia Open Air Ethnographic Museum, also located outside of Ulan-Ude.

In addition, the republic has three national parks and three nature reserves. When you're in Buryatia, you should definitely try traditional Buryat cuisine, such as boiled dumplings known as "pozy" or "buuz", Buryat pilaf, lamb noodle soup called "shulep" and Buryat cheese.

Relief of Buryatia

The relief of Buryatia consists of mountain ranges, plateaus, basins and river valleys. The Sayan Mountains have a height of more than 3000 meters. The Khamar-Daban ridge rises from the southern tip of Baikal, and the Barguzin Mountains stretch along the northeastern shore of the lake. Other ranges include the Vitim Plateau in the northeast and the Yablonovsky Range on the eastern border of Buryatia.

Territory of Buryatia

More than half of the territory of Buryatia is occupied by dense forests, mostly evergreen. Steppe vegetation predominates in the basins and valleys between the mountains. Soils change from poor soils in forests to fertile black soils in steppe regions. Major river systems include the Selenga, a navigable river that flows into Baikal, and the Vitim, which flows to the north into the Lena River.

Climate of Buryatia

Buryatia has long winters and warm summers. Most of the republic receives less than 500 milliliters of precipitation per year.

History of Buryatia

Russians, in search of gold and furs, began colonizing the area in the mid-17th century. The indigenous people initially resisted the Russian settlers. However, over time, they abandoned the nomadic lifestyle and switched to the sedentary agricultural lifestyle of the Russians. Buryats make up only one-fourth of the republic's population, and the rest are mostly Russian. More than half the population lives in cities, mainly in the Selenga River basin, where Ulan-Ude is located.

Economy of Buryatia

Buryatia is rich in mineral resources, including gold, nickel, aluminum, iron and coal. Industry includes mining and metallurgy; production of building materials such as cement and glass; leather, textile, food and fish processing industries.

Breeding cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and reindeer, as well as horse breeding, are the main agricultural activities. The Selenga River valley provides nutrient-rich soils where spring wheat, potatoes, vegetables and sugar beets are grown.

Fur farming, hunting and fishing are also important. The Trans-Siberian Railway and the Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM) pass through the republic. Roads connect Ulan-Ude with cities in Mongolia and Russia.

Buryatia

is the center of Russian Buddhism, so you can see many sights related to this religion there. The main attraction of the republic is the Ivolginsky Datsan, which was founded in 1947. This large monastery is the main center of Buddhism in Russia. In addition to the temple, the monastery complex includes a library, a greenhouse, a hotel and other buildings.

Natural monuments of the Republic of Buryatia harmoniously coexist with historical and architectural monuments. The main national park of the republic is Alkhanay. It has a unique rock, the Temple Gate, 1100 meters high.

Fishing calendar for every day

The fishing calendar should not be taken as an absolutely indisputable truth. Fish biting is greatly influenced by a whole range of natural factors, as well as the influence on the nature of man himself. You must not forget that the fish’s bite depends and is determined not only by the calendar dates and biological cycles of their life, reflected in the calendar, but also, no less, by the state of their habitat; the bite also depends on weather conditions: air and water temperatures, cloudiness, wind direction and strength, etc...

Orthodox calendar about every day

Orthodox calendar: Orthodox, Church and Christian holidays.

The church year is an alternation of weekdays and holidays. On weekdays, a person is called to work “by the sweat of his brow to earn his bread.” Holidays are given in order to feel liberation, to rise above the bustle and routine of the world, to feel involved in the highest of worlds, “where there are no illnesses, sorrows and sighs, but endless life.” Since ancient times, holiday cycles have been associated with the seasons. The pagans associated them with the worship of the forces of nature, the cult of which in the Old Testament was replaced by gratitude to the Creator for the universe. And although the connection between holidays and the seasons has not completely lost its power, since God is present in everything, in the plant and animal world, in human works, it nevertheless faded into the background, giving way to a spiritual foundation built on the Sacred Scriptures. The history of Orthodox holidays dates back to the times of the Old Testament. Each of the Orthodox holidays is dedicated to the remembrance of the most important events in the life of Jesus Christ and the Mother of God, as well as the memory of saints...

Russian folk calendar for every day

The word “sign” comes from the word “notice”, i.e. observe. As a result of observing what happens around a person every day, he accumulates life experience. This knowledge was passed down from generation to generation, carefully preserved and people trusted it as a sacred book. Many signs have come to us from the depths of centuries without losing their knowledge. Each of us is free to choose: to dismiss all this as an absurd superstition or to take a closer look at the signs and take the centuries-old experience of generations more seriously. Most of us, when taking exams, ask them to scold them, boasting about some kind of good fortune or luck, spit so as not to jinx them or knock on wood, take a detour if a black cat crossed the road, are afraid of the number 13 and much more. And who among us does not have lucky things, numbers? Who has never resorted to the help of fate at least once in their life, who has not believed in secrets? It’s as if everything connected with signs is hidden somewhere deep in our subconscious. Often we remember them mechanically, unconsciously, or just as a joke. But, undoubtedly, the signs contain a lot of accurate knowledge and practical wisdom of our ancestors. They cover all the characteristic, often difficult to perceive, natural phenomena. Signs have preserved a lot of what was in old folk holidays and customs; they help predict the weather, grow crops... Next: Folk signs...

Holiday calendar, dates and events of the year

Relief of the Republic of Buryatia

The surface of the territory is characterized by the predominance of mountain landscapes over plain ones. The concept of “lowland” here is also relative, because they are located at least 500 m above ocean level.

The republic's topography consists of powerful, high ridges and basins between them. The highest peak of the republic, Munku-Sardyk (about 3,500 meters), is located in the Sayan Mountains. In the south there is the Selenga midlands with altitudes up to 1800 meters.

In the Baikal region there are the East Sayan Highlands, Khamar-Daban, the Morskoy, Ulan-Burgasy, Ikatsky, Barguzinsky, and Baikalsky ridges.

The views of the Barguzinsky ridge in the watershed areas are reminiscent of alpine landscapes. The Stanovoy Range with the Udokan, Kalar, South and North Muya uplands stretches across the north of the region. To the northeast of Lake Baikal lies the Vitim Plateau.

The largest river in the Republic of Buryatia is the Lena with its tributaries Vitim and Yenisei. The basins of these three rivers include most of all rivers. The Barguzin, Selenga, and Upper Angara rivers replenish Lake Baikal . Lakes in Buryatia are very numerous and in total occupy about 3 million hectares. In total, there are about 35,000 small and large lakes in Buryatia.

The second largest after Baikal is Baunt, Kotakelskoye, Bolshoye Eravnoe.

Climate of Buryatia

The climate and topography of the Republic of Buryatia are closely interconnected. Permafrost zones are widespread in the northern regions of the Baikal region. Seven districts are recognized as regions of the Far North.

The climate is sharply continental. Winter is frosty and long. Not much snow falls. In spring the winds often blow. Summer is short, but there are hot days, although the nights are still cool. Most of the precipitation occurs in July. Autumn, usually long and warm, comes gradually.

The average summer temperature is +26°C, and the winter temperature is about -25°C. Meanwhile, the climate is characterized by a large number of sunny days, exceeding those in the southern regions of Russia.

Prayer book, Orthodox prayers for every day

Prayer is the most powerful means for healing all illnesses - both physical and mental. Prayers can be laudatory or grateful, petitionary and repentant. If we have offended God, sinned, we must ask Him for forgiveness, that is, repent. Such prayers are called repentant prayers. If everything is fine with us, if we and our loved ones are healthy and prosperous, if we have a place to live, something to wear, something to eat, we must glorify and thank God for this. Such prayers are called praise or thanksgiving. If some misfortune, illness, trouble or need happens, you need to ask God for help. Such prayers are called petitionary... Next: Orthodox prayers...

Zodiac, astrological, eastern calendar. Zodiac signs

In ancient times, to establish the calendar, priests used knowledge of the positions of all the planets. Before the reform of Peter 1, the New Year was celebrated on the Day of the Autumn Equinox. On this day, according to ancient legend, the most peaceful treaty was concluded between the Great Race (ancient Slavs) and the Great Dragon (ancient Chinese) and it was approximately 7518 years ago... For the ancient Slavs, the calendar month corresponded to the lunar cycle from new moon to new moon, taking into account such Thus, the relationship of the entire annual cycle with astronomical and natural phenomena. There was no coherent calendar system. The main natural phenomena are still considered to this day to be the days of the solar equinox and solstice - the Slavic holidays Maslenitsa, Kupala, Ovsen and Kolyada. But during the time of Peter 1, all ancient Slavic calendars were abolished and a new Western European calendar from the Nativity of Christ (Julian calendar) was introduced, while the beginning of the calendar was moved to January 1. The Julian calendar (old style) did not take leap days into account and accumulated one extra day every 128 years. After the October Revolution in 1918, the Gregorian calendar (new style) was introduced in Russia, according to which an amendment of 13 days was introduced. The calendar of the ancient Slavs was based on two planets: the Sun and the Moon. And now they don’t use anything at all. The calendar has become static. There is no such thing as the calendar, it turns out, resting on some planet. Nobody even knows about it. There are just some standard numbers, there are months and holidays. The calendar is based on the Sun and Moon. Why is this so? Because these two luminaries influence the Earth. The Earth revolves around the Sun, and the Moon revolves around the Earth. And these two luminaries create the atmosphere on the planet. From here the calendar is built... Next: Astrological calendar...

Traditions

Buddhist traditions are extremely strong in Buryatia. It is in this region that the largest number of Russian believers professing Buddhism is concentrated. Dozens of Buddhist monasteries – datsans – are scattered throughout the Republic of Buryatia.

Sights of Buryatia

One of the main Buryat attractions is the Ivolginsky datsan. The monastery complex, founded in 1947, includes seven temples, a Buddhist institute, a library, a greenhouse, and a hotel.

Every year, thousands of pilgrims visit the datsan to pray, take part in cleansing rituals or touch the sacred relic - the incorruptible body of Lama Dashi-Dorzho Itigelov. The life and death of this amazing man are full of mysteries and miracles. The Lama died in 1927 while meditating. According to the will, the sarcophagus with his body should have been opened after 75 years. In 2002, the lama's behest was fulfilled. To the greatest surprise, Itigelov’s body did not decay and was perfectly preserved. It is believed that touching the llama's body brings good luck and cures ailments.

No less famous than the Ivolginsky datsan is the Egituisky datsan. It houses a rare relic - a lifetime statue of Buddha, known as Zandan Zhuu.

The Republic of Buryatia amazes with the number of natural attractions. A significant part of the famous Lake Baikal is located on the territory of the republic. The Baikal Nature Reserve was created to protect the unique ecosystem of the lake.

Near Baikal lies the Barguzin Valley - one of the most picturesque and mysterious places in the Republic of Buryatia. Translated from Mongolian, the name of the valley means “rich”.

This area probably owes its name to the extraordinary richness of the local nature. What is there in this picturesque valley:

• vast steppes,
• rivers with an abundance of fish,
• forests full of game,
• clean lakes and mineral springs.

They say that the Barguzin Valley was one of the favorite places of the legendary Genghis Khan, who even in his youth made sacrifices to spirits in these places. By the way, in the area between the Baruun Khandagai and Ugutere rivers there is another natural attraction associated with the name of the great warrior - a huge boulder known as the “Throne of Genghis Khan”. It is believed that the famous khan sat on this stone while performing sacred rituals.

The Tunkinsky National Reserve is famous for its abundance of sources of healing waters. On its territory is the famous Arshan resort, whose mineral waters are used in the treatment of a wide range of diseases.
