Tibetan calendar year is a traditional festival of Tibetan people. Bhutan and Mongolia, which are deeply influenced by Tibetan culture, also celebrate Tibetan New Year, but the calculation method of Tibetan calendar year is different from that of Lunar New Year. The Tibetan New Year of 20 10 falls on February 14, the same day as the Lunar New Year. In 2009, the Tibetan New Year is February 25th, and the Spring Festival is 1 October 26th, which is later than the Spring Festival1month. The 2008 Tibetan New Year and the 20 15 Spring Festival are the same day.

In the early morning of the first day of the first month of the Tibetan calendar, housewives will carry buckets to the river or well to pick up the first bucket of water for the new year. Legend has it that the water at this time is the most holy and sweet. Whoever puts auspicious water first indicates that many disasters can be avoided in one year. At dawn, the whole family put on holiday clothes and washed their clothes. The younger generation began to congratulate their elders on the New Year, saying "Tashildler" to each other, then having breakfast and drinking wine with each other.
In pastoral areas, sheep's heads are eaten on the morning of New Year's Day. At five o'clock in the morning, the housewife began to cook sheep's heads according to the number of family members. The cooked sheep's head was placed in front of the oldest person with a food box, and he distributed it to everyone in order of age. The whole family gathered around the stove to peel the sheep's head and eat it, wishing each other family harmony and increasing livestock.
From the second day of the first month of the Tibetan calendar, people began to visit each other, pay New Year greetings and treat guests. In the new year, the first words people say to each other are "Rosangen" (Happy New Year) and "Tashildler" (Good luck). When relatives and friends come to visit New Year, the host goes out with "Chema" in hand to greet the guests and wishes each other "Tashildler", while the hostess toasts the guests with a copper pot covered with Hada.
On the third day of the first month of the Tibetan calendar, people worship the "roof god". On this day, people climbed onto the roofs of various houses, inserted brand-new prayer flags on the roofs, then carried the replaced prayer flags to the top of the mountain, hung them on the top of the mountain, simmered cypress branches, and threw Bazin, highland barley noodles and fluttering prayer flags into the air.
