Ok I think. We need to appreciate how goofy/embarrassing Mongolia can be so here's the post (will be talking about edgier stuff at some point but let this man flop around if only for a second):
During the Yuan the words "buluo" and "buzu" were virtually non existent in important Chinese texts despite the frequency of the words used before. It's most likely this exclusion was not accidental and was a result of the Yuan rulers being sensitive to the barbarian connotations of the word. Yes Mongolia was offended by being called a barbarian by China and told him to stop
He was totally acting all new-money and spending his newfound wealth on the most ridiculous shit, like a literal fountain that dispersed 4 different types of alcohol
Thinks throwing money at things is some sort of fix-all
Went on a 40-day bender when Ogedei ascended to Khanhood
Did I mention he was an alcoholic?
Would take on the advise from advisors that came from everywhere but China.
Made his own version of a racial hierarchy with Mongols and other Northerners being at the top and Southern Chinese being at the bottom ("who's the barbarian now?!!")
Categorised his Chinese subjects into 10 ranks, with Confucian scholars coming 9th - below prostitutes
Chinese criminals got way harsher punishments than Mongol criminals
No sinicization here folks - this dude was NOT wearing Chinese clothes or eating Chinese food. In fact a lot of Mongol rulers never even bothered to learn the language. Mongolia probably knew it but would make China speak Mongolian with him anyways
Despite all this he was absolutely addicted to Chinese stageplays you have no idea how much Mongol rulers loved that shit
Got defeated by Ainu and response sent him gifts to try and get him on his side
When I tell you how possessive he was of Ilkhanate I was not joking, there were certain Ilkhanate rulers like Ahmad who tried to break free from Yuan influence by having the inscriptions of the coins refer to Islam rather than the Yuan Khan, but after him under Arghun, Yuan suzerainty over Ilkhanate coinage was reinstalled - it's speculated this was encouraged by Khublai (ruler of the Yuan)
Could not accept that the Yuan dynasty divorce was real and so called the remains of his empire the "Northern Yuan" ("You see the marriage never ended I'm just living in the Northern half of our house. It's called the Northern Yuan. Yes it's perfectly valid fuck off")
Went all surprise-pikachu-face when years of being a megalomaniac lead to his Northern subjects finally turning against him
During the four Oirat era, the Oirat confederation called themselves the four "tumens" (tumen = 10,000) of Oirats. Mongolia responded by basically going "hmm... FOUR tumen you say? Well... we are the SIX tumen of Mongols... Checkmate"
Again during this time, (Chinggisid) Mongols would record how Oirat rulers would "bully" Mongol rulers,. A lot of these accounts were greatly exaggerated as many of these so called Oirat rulers were actually just visitors who had nothing to do with the Oirats
The Choros Oirat clan had an origin myth that involved emerging from a sacred mother tree. Mongolia responded by hijacking this story and making it so that Genghis Khan came down and #defeated this tree
Definitely coped + seethed hard when the Dalai Lama started giving non-Chinggisid Mongols the title "Khan"
Once Mongolia was incorporated into the Manchurian-lead Qing dynasty, he was making almost all the exact same complaints China once made about him but now directed at Manchuria and did not sense an inkling of irony in any of it ("Why does this teenager think he can boss me around! He's uncultured and the only culture he gets is from me! He doesn't know anything about anything!)
During the era of communism and Russian influence in Mongolia, I've read that some Mongolians complained that the Russians "drank too much" errm... Pot calling the kettle blac-
Some non-historical ones which are still based in fact somewhat but just also overall goofy as hell:
He is weirdly freaked out by cats
He fucking loves KFC I swear there was even some Mongolian TV show about KFC workers.
His love for Chinese stageplays now has a 21st century equivalent: cnovels. Guiltiest pleasure
He's very... moe, around Tibet. Make sure to back away from them if you see them with each other unless you wanna hear some weird shit
Pretends he doesn't like Kpop. He does
Thinks calling Tuva a kleptomaniac rather than a thief is some sort of politically correct upgrade and doesn't understand why he's still offended by it
>"Buryatia should be a part of greater Mongolia again" #panmongolism"
>Makes fun of Buryatia for being "too Russified"
>"Inner Mongolia should be a part of greater Mongolia again #panmongolism"
>Makes fun of Inner Mongolia for being "too Sinicized"
If Kazakhstan is really annoying him he'll ask him if it's past his bed time
