Kazakhstan Honors Unique Customs With 'Suyinschi' Coin
Kazakhstan, rich in ancient traditions, has issued a commemorative coin to honor one of its unique customs. The coin, titled 'Suyinschi', is part of the 'Culture and National Games of Kazakhstan' series and was released in 2018. This tradition, along with others like 'Shashu' and 'Bata', reflects the deep warmth and wisdom of Kazakh culture.
The Kazakh proverb 'Жаңбырмен жер көгерер, батамен ел көгерер' (One travels through the earth with rain, and through life with blessings) encapsulates the spirit of Kazakh hospitality. One such tradition is 'Sarkyt', where food is given away after a feast, dating back to the time of the nomads. This act of generosity is a symbol of unity and abundance.
'Shashu' is another joyful custom where sweets and coins are thrown to guests on special occasions. This tradition symbolizes future happiness for the recipients, often thrown when a young man brings his bride home or when guests are invited to a wedding or housewarming. Children especially enjoy collecting the sweets during this tradition.
'Suyinschi' is a tradition where someone shares good news, like the birth of a child, and receives a small gift or gratitude in return. This exchange reflects the Kazakh value of reciprocity and community. The National Bank of Kazakhstan issued commemorative coins titled 'Suyinschi' in 2018 to honor this tradition.
'Korimdik' is a gift given to someone when they show their joy or something new, often in the form of money. This tradition is practiced by various ethnic groups in Kazakhstan, reflecting the country's diverse cultural heritage.
'Bata' is a blessing that helps a person in difficult times, guiding them onto the right path and passing on wisdom, culture, and tradition. This custom underscores the importance of guidance and support in Kazakh society.
These Kazakh customs, like 'Shashu', 'Suyinschi', and 'Bata', are more than just traditions; they are expressions of a centuries-old culture that values hospitality, generosity, and community. The issuance of the 'Suyinschi' commemorative coin is a testament to the country's commitment to preserving and promoting its rich cultural heritage.
