Tibetans are a happy and peaceful people. They face life with a happy temperament and a relaxed rhythm. They live mainly in Xizang Autonomous Region, but also in Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, Yunnan and other provinces. Most of them are engaged in animal husbandry, and a few are engaged in agriculture. Livestock mainly include Tibetan sheep, goats, yaks and cattle. Crops include highland barley, peas, buckwheat, broad beans and wheat. Most Tibetans eat three meals a day, but they have the habit of eating four, five or six meals a day when they are busy with agriculture or have a strong labor intensity. Generally speaking, Bazin is the staple food of Tibetans. Eat with strong tea. If you add milk tea, ghee, "Qula" (that is, milk residue, buttermilk is boiled and dried, and it will be more fragrant if it is cooked with yogurt or sweet milk) and sugar, it will be sweeter and more delicious. Bazin is called Tibet. Tibetans in some areas of Sichuan often eat "Zuma" (rattan hemp, commonly known as ginseng fruit), "fried naked" and porridge cooked with wheat, highland barley, beef and beef bones. Tibetans in Qinghai and Gansu also eat pancakes and "jiaozi" made of boiled water and flour, and also like to eat "push" made of ghee, brown sugar and milk residue. In the past, Tibetans seldom ate vegetables, and beef and mutton were the main non-staple food, followed by pork, and beef and mutton were relatively fresh. People don't use chopsticks when eating meat, but use knives to cut food. Tibetans like to drink milk, butter tea and highland barley wine. Tibetans generally believe in Tibetan Buddhism, and Losa Festival (Lunar New Year) is the biggest festival in the Tibetan calendar. At that time, every household would fry naked bodies with shortbread and brew highland barley wine. On the first day, the old man got up first and returned the first bucket of "auspicious water" from outside; The whole family arranges their seats according to their age and wishes each other while eating vegetables; The elders first wish everyone "Tahide Dele" (good luck), and the younger generation returns "Tahide Dele Pengsongcuo" (good luck, good thing); Then eat ghee cooked ginseng fruit and toast highland barley wine. Tibetans in Yunnan eat a kind of dough similar to jiaozi on New Year's Eve. In dough, people wrap stones, peppers, charcoal and wool, and there are different opinions. For example, eating dough wrapped in stones shows that he is hard-hearted during the New Year; Eating dough wrapped in wool shows that he is soft-hearted In addition, Tibetans will also celebrate the "Snow Festival", that is, the festival of providing yogurt to monks. Tibetan yogurt is called "snow" and "rice" means feast. This festival lasts for 3-4 days in July 1 day of the Tibetan calendar. The purpose of "Fruit Watching Festival" is to entertain and reward God, pray for a bumper harvest and propose a toast to wizards. Everyone collects three ears of highland barley from their own fields for worship at home; The "Bath Festival", also known as the "Bath Festival", which lasts for a week in the first ten days of July in the Tibetan calendar, is a time for Tibetan men, women and children from all over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to play, swim, wash clothes, prepare wine, tea and various foods, and have a picnic at noon. Be careful not to open your mouth, chew, drink or be picky about food. I love Tibetans.
