| description | The tent was considered one of the most important elements of the Turkic-ethnic
cultural system. Because, mainly for the Turks who lead a nomadic lifestyle, a place of
residence that can be built and dismantled quickly was more comfortable. There were different
types of this settlement structure. "Dade Gorgud" has a tent home, a white house, a room, a tent,
a room, a shed, a bargah, etc. described by names. At the same time, the tent symbolized not
only a place of residence, but also a model of the world, an artistic expression of mythological
thought. The belief and way of thinking of the Turks is also reflected in their tent tradition. This
in turn shows that the tent is one of the most important elements of Turkish culture.
While the tent symbolized the small state order - the family in Turkic thought, it also
symbolized the world model in the archaic belief of the Turk in a broad sense. In his epic
thinking, the Turk used the tent as a metaphorical means of understanding the world. The
structure, poles, and design of the tent were reminiscent of the world. The tent built by the Turk
also contained the four mother elements (fire, water, air, earth) which are considered the
beginning of life. "Building the tent above the sky and the grass" shows that it is related to the
element of earth, and the presence of a hearth inside it, called "gorglug", indicates that it is
related to the element of fire. On the upper side of the tent, the hole that ensures easy entry of air
and easy exit of smoke connects it with the element of air. Water was always considered the
most important source of life for Turkic tribes. |
