The Game Sinsin and Its Old Turkic Cultural Reflections

Öz

Sinsin is a game centered around a fire which is typically played by a group of people at weddings. This game is especially seen in Turkey although the name of this game still survives in the Gagauz language as an adverb (sinsin “secretly”), too. The word sinsin has variations like siŋsiŋ, simsim, siŋidi, çındır or yumruk oyunu in different regions of Turkey. This game has three main elements. The first element is the large fire which is prepared at night in front of the wedding house or in an open field. The second element is musical instruments, davul “drum” and zurna “clarion”. The third element is a group of people (usually just men), grouped around the fire. Sinsin is actually a very interesting game in terms of its Old Turkic cultural elements. Along with the drum, the fire and the player moving around the fire with special dance moves it shows us the shamanic remnants of the Old Turkic culture. To date, various etymological explanations have been made on the word sinsin. In this article, we mainly dealt with the special features of the game sinsin along with its etymology.
