Ethnography

What does the greeting custom "Assalamu Alaikum" mean?

The greeting of all Muslims begins with the words "Assalamu Alaikum." The custom of greeting each other with the words “Assalamu Alaikum” and “Wa Alaikum Assalam” has been passed down from our ancestors. Unfortunately, recently, especially among the youth and schoolchildren, it is starting to be forgotten. Greeting and responding to greetings is a sign of respect from a person. At present, when the question of strengthening interethnic friendship in a democratic society arises, this

Tagai Bi (Muhammed Kyrgyz)

In the history of the 16th century, Tagay Bi was celebrated under the name of the great figure Muhammed Kyrgyz. In 1508, he was proclaimed khan. Before this, the Kyrgyz had been unable to elect a worthy leader for several centuries. Thus, the fate of Tagay Bi fell upon the responsible task of creating an independent state. He was the first supporter of the spread of the Muslim religion, for which the people respectfully began to refer to him as Muhammed Kyrgyz.

In his paintings, man and nature live in harmonious

Paintings by Sabyrbek Akylbekov

Paintings by Sabyrbek Akylbekov In the paintings of Sabyrbek Akylbekov, the color palette is restrained but built on complex subtle shades. The landscapes are soft and harmonious in color, and although the artist avoids bright colors, his painting palette is tense and accurately expresses the majestic, strict hues of the native nature. The canvas "In the Fields of Kyrgyzstan" (1953) is the pinnacle of his creativity during this period. In this work, the features of the new life of
