| Research Abstract |
This research examined the Mongolian texts written on birch bark-namely the ones discovered in the central and western part of Mongolia, and ones found in Xianjiang, China. The texts excavated in the central Mongolia were found to be relevant to the Mongolian residential area in the southern part, while the texts from the western Mongolia and Xianjiang showed some features of the Mongolian letters unique to the western Mongolia. Most of the texts concern folk belief and the Buddhist scriptures which are widely shared by Mongolians, and they are still preserved among the Mongolians in Xianjiang today. Yet the birch forests have been in decay around the sites where these texts were discovered. In Mongolia, the use of birch bark for everyday life faintly remains only in the northern part now.
