ABSTRACT
Mongghul origins are controversial. One argument holds that the Xianbei or Tuyuhun are origins of the modern-day Mongghul (Monguor ethnicity, officially recognized in China today as the Tu nationality), while a second suggests that the Mongghul language and everyday practices exhibit Mongol lineage. This article provides further insight into the origins of the Mongghul people, particularly through evidence provided by individuals from Huzhu Tu (Mongghul) Autonomous County. Oral narratives contain valuable accounts of the history of the Fulaan Bulog 'Red Springs' region, local religious practices, customs surrounding field boundary rituals of the Mongghul of Huzhu, and other aspects of Mongghul history and culture in Huzhu.
