The root feature that distinguishes Mongolian traditional culture from other nations is our nomadic culture. The our research question is how they understood education and its quality?. The main objective of this study was clarify the indigenous knowledge for education and its quality. In this study, we used Mongolian folk materials, Mongolian dictionaries, world three metaphors, and proverbs as our materials. We used desk review of documentation analysis, logical cognition, and cognitive linguistics methods to accomplish our objective. According to our findings, the term of education has been used intensively since the late of 1930s, and the Mongolians do not separate education from human beings and always consider it in relationship with wisdom, finally the term of education quality has been spreading rapidly in recent years, attracting public attention. The Mongolians have defined education since ancient times as wisdom. The wisdom is the vitality of the trinity structure, and its quality has been analyzed as wisdom quality. A person's manner, harmony, and active effort are the determinants of their wisdom's quality from Mongolian philosophical concept that describes opposite forces which are interconnected. In Mongolian philosophy the universe creates itself out of opposite forces which are masculine and feminine sides, all in all they are together the vitality of objects and lives.
