Tibetan New Year

According to Tibetan scholars, in ancient times, Tibetan New Year was not celebrated at the turn of winter and spring, but in summer. "Wheat ripens at the beginning of the year", "Under the snowy mountains, wheat turns yellow, and a happy New Year is coming." Now, in the middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, there is a tradition of "looking for fruit" before the autumn harvest. People wear ancient costumes, ride horses, pray in circles along the harvested highland barley, ride horses and shoot arrows, and dance around the bonfire to entertain themselves and the local patron saint. According to legend, this is the legacy of the Chinese New Year in June in ancient Tibet.

There is also a festival celebrated on the first day of October in the Tibetan calendar, "Wheat harvest is the beginning of the year". The Gongbu (Linzhi) area, 4 kilometers east of Lhasa, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and virgin forests, is still the first day of October in the Tibetan calendar, and is called "GongBoullosa". According to Tibetan history, Gongbu area has a very long history. Bonism, the primitive religion of Tibet, was very popular here long before the Tubo Dynasty was established. The Tibetan calendar celebrated the New Year in October, which originated from those ancient times.

In the 13th century, when the Sakya dynasty ruled Tibet, Tibetans celebrated the New Year in the first month of the Tibetan calendar. However, farmers often celebrate the New Year on the first day of December in advance, which is called "Solang Losa" (Farmers' New Year). Because in the first month of the Tibetan calendar, spring is budding and farming is busy, farmers have no mood for the New Year.

Wear the most beautiful clothes and the most precious jewelry in the New Year. Even people with poor economic conditions should prepare a robe or one or two rough decorations for the New Year, which is called "Saju" in Tibetan, that is, new clothes. These, of course, come from the nature of Tibetans' love of beauty. However, there is also a saying that Qu Jie, the God King Xin, wants to observe the life of the world from the bronze mirror. Everyone is beautifully dressed, and he is happy, giving the world some favors, wearing rags, and he is upset, bringing down disasters and plagues. Therefore, wearing new clothes during the Spring Festival means pleasing the king of God.

On the third day of the first month, people from Lhasa walked out of the noisy market in groups and came to the Aquarius Mountain in the eastern suburb and Yaowang Mountain in the western suburb, where they planted prayer flags and hung colorful banners to offer sacrifices to mountain gods and water gods.

On the fifth day of the first month of the Tibetan calendar, farmers in the suburbs of Lhasa will hold a grand plough ceremony. Farmers put on festive costumes, and the strong cows are dressed more beautifully, with ghee patterns on their foreheads, red flags and colorful feathers on their horns, colorful satin on their shoulders, shells and turquoise on their satin, and colorful ribbons on their tails.
