Many ethnic groups use the wolf tribe as their totem, especially in the north (the wolf tribe in the north has this saying)
The totem of the Liao Kingdom, and Mongolia also worships the wolf totem
The phenomenon of wolf worship is almost universal to the ancestors who lived on the northern grasslands. Not only did the Huns and Turks worship wolf totems, but the Uighurs also had vivid stories of wolf gods. It shows that in the wild northern grassland, wolves are very terrifying beasts to primitive people. They often gather in groups and fight together whether they are hunting for food or dealing with invading enemies. They are ferocious and spiritual. So people worshiped them out of fear and regarded them as their own relatives and kindred spirits. This was the origin of wolf totem worship. According to the "parallelism" theory of cultural development associated with Taylor's theory, when any two different tribes live in roughly similar living environments, their cultures must show the same adaptability. Then, it is not surprising that the Mongolian ancestors who also lived in the northern grasslands or forests had wolf totem worship.
In addition to records in northern ethnic history, there are also legends of wolf boys among Mongolian folk who raise children who grow up to become great men. The story is as follows: Once upon a time, a group of hunters were hunting by the Kerulen River and found a female wolf leading a three or four-year-old boy running into the wilderness. The hunters drove away the wolf and brought back the boy. They did not know who he was born to. Then he was named "Shalu". Ji Zhuang was conscripted into the army and fought with Genghis Khan. Once while camping, Shalu heard the howling of wolves and told the leader that there was a flood and that the camp must be relocated. Sure enough, it was windy and rainy at night, and the original camp was flooded. From then on, whenever camping at night, the leader would know the good or bad luck by asking Shalu. Judging from the above historical records and folk legends of wolf boys, it is obvious that the Mongolians have the concept of wolf totem worship.
