When is the Tibetan New Year?

February 2 1 2023 is the first day of the Tibetan New Year, and one of the most important activities of the New Year is family reunion to eat "ancient pictures". Gutu is a kind of Tibetan pasta. First, cook a pot of soup with diced beef and shredded radish, and then cook bumps in the soup. People will wrap things like pepper, wool, charcoal and salt. Write a note on a knot in one's heart with words on it, symbolizing different meanings.

The Tibetan New Year begins on the Tibetan calendar 1 month 1 day and lasts for 15 days. Entering the Tibetan calendar1February, people began to make a series of traditional and complicated preparations for the New Year. Cultivate highland barley seedlings, fry cards, brew highland barley wine, clean up, place offerings, draw auspicious symbols, etc. Only in this way can we be happy and auspicious in the new year and live a long life.

Tibetan New Year custom:

1, grab "golden water"

In the early morning of the first day, the hostess who collects rags will go to the river one after another, waiting for the first bucket of water at dawn. Whoever scoops up the first bucket of water means that he will get the best luck.

Later, the sacrifice was held on the platform of the water room. Some ghee was put on the platform to sacrifice to the water god, and then the water was taken home. After taking back the first bucket of water in the New Year, pour it into the water purification bowl, then make a fruit sacrifice with Ciba, mix the highland barley wine, bring the fruit sacrifice and highland barley wine, and go to the best farmland in your home to worship the goddess of harvest.

Step 2 pay New Year's greetings

From the second day of the Tibetan calendar, people began to visit each other, pay New Year greetings and treat guests. In the new year, the first thing people say to each other is "Rosa Tashildler". When visiting relatives and friends to celebrate the New Year, the host goes out to greet the guests with chariots and horses and wishes each other "Tashildler". The hostess toasted the guests with a copper pot containing Hada, and everyone exchanged New Year greetings.

3. Worship the "Roof God"

The third day of the Tibetan calendar is the busiest day of the New Year. On this day, we will worship the "Roof God". In the new year, Tibetan families will watch a day in the Tibetan calendar, then climb the roofs of various houses, insert brand-new prayer flags on the roofs, then simmer cypress branches and throw Bazin into the air. Fluttering prayer flags and curling "mulberry smoke" convey people's wishes to the air.
