China Influence on Material Culture of South Siberia in pre-Mon-gol Period

Abstract

In the relations between China and nomadic peoples of Siberia, the material and spiritual aspects of culture were perceived in parallel, but the material culture in the contacts was shown more clearly and particularly attracted the neighbours' attention. This manifested itself in the processes of interchange, imitation or borrowing of some features of culture, such as art, crafts, clothing, food, housing, vehicles, etc.
