1. Kazakh customs

Kazakhs like to drink milk tea very much, and there is a saying that "you can go without food for a day, but you must never go without tea for a day". In places where Kazakhs live in compact communities, the elderly, regardless of gender or wealth, are highly respected. When younger generations see them, they should salute and greet them, and replace their names with honorifics such as "Aksahal" and "Apa".

2. Traditional culture of Kazakhs

Kazakhs still have the religious custom of worshipping the moon. Like many ancient nationalities, Kazakhs also worship fire, pray for lights, and call fire "mother of fire" to worship. Because they think that fire is a sacred force, has its own profound connotation, has the divine power to drive away evil spirits, and is noble. It is believed that fire is the savior of Kazakhs and has the power to get rid of disasters.

History

The origin of Kazak nationality is complicated. Generally speaking, it is mainly formed by the fusion of Wusun, Kangju, Alan (Yancai) people in ancient times, the Sai people who were originally in the grassland of Central Asia, the Dayue people and the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Rouran, Turkic, Tiele, Qidan, Mongolia and other ethnic groups who later entered this area.

from the powerful Mongolian nationality in the early 13th century to the establishment of Kazakh dynasty in the 15th century, some tribes and clans related to Kazak origin mentioned above accelerated the pace of union. The final formation of the Kazakh national identity is closely related to the "white account" khanate in history.

at the beginning of 13th century, Genghis Khan made a westward expedition, and Wusun, Kelie and Naiman tribes were also forced to move westward. Some parts of the Golden Tent Khanate, Chahatai Khanate and Wokuotai Khanate of the Mongolian Empire are Kazakh pastures. Soon, due to the enfeoffment of the household, a new separatist situation of the Golden Account Khanate was created, and the White Account Khanate, which was established in present-day eastern Kazakhstan, unified the whole Golden Account Khanate in the 14th century.

the ancestors of the Kazak nationality established a regional regime, which was called the Kazakh khanate in history. In 1456, Khiekhan and Janibek Khan led their troops out of Uzbek Khanate and moved to Mongulstan (East Chagatai Khanate). These herders who left the Uzbek khanate were called Kazakhs. They established a Kazakh khanate headed by Keliehan in the new pastoral area with a population of 2,.
