Question 3: What are Tibetan taboos? According to the main taboos of Tibetans, we divide them into three categories: life taboos, language taboos and religious taboos. 1. Life taboos refer to taboos closely related to daily life except special occasions. Divided from four aspects: social role, behavior field, human body and living state, it basically includes taboos on food, clothing, housing and transportation, taboos on marriage, childbirth and death, taboos on gender, grade, production, human body, excreta and name, and so on. In addition, taboos about celestial bodies and phenomena, taboos about animals and plants can also be classified as such taboos. Second, verbal taboo refers to the prohibition of using a certain language on special occasions, and its extreme development is the worship of language spirit, such as the worship of symbols and spells. "Writing is a strange picture. It acts as a' word' rather than the power of language and is used to ward off evil spirits. Spells are taboo in spoken language and are generally forbidden to be used. Once used, it is considered to kill each other. " Swearing, which is common in Tibetan life, can also be included in the category of language taboos. Third, religious taboo is the earliest of all taboos, which refers to ritual taboo. Specifically, it includes sacred taboo, ancestral taboo, taboo of sacrificial objects, taboo of sacrificial places, taboo of sacrificial objects, taboo of sacrificial time and so on. Because the ethnic group of * * is deeply influenced by religion in all aspects, taboos belonging to religious folk customs all have a strong religious color. Other etiquette taboos spit on others' backs and clap their hands; When you meet religious facilities such as monasteries, manidui and stupas, you must go around from left to right; Don't cross utensils and braziers; Warp tubes and wheels shall not be reversed; Taboo others touch the top of the head with their hands; Don't touch Tibetan clothes.

Question 4:* * What are the customs? The marriage system that prohibits Tibetans used to be monogamous, polygamous and polygamous, but now it is mostly monogamous. Only in remote nomadic areas, because of the hardships of life, it is possible to reduce expenses by losing a wife, but several brothers * * * maintain the phenomenon of marrying.

Tibetan young men and women are either free to fall in love or meet each other on blind dates. Before they decide to get married, they must combine eight characters. If the eight characters match, the man proposes Hada to the woman, and then formally holds an engagement ceremony on auspicious day. After the engagement ceremony, they began to prepare for the wedding.

The day before the wedding ceremony, the man must send the bride's dress and jewelry to the woman's home for use the next day. On the wedding day, the man took a pregnant mare as the bride's mount and let the married representative take it to the woman's house. The color of this horse must match the bride's horoscope. The wedding representative must also bring a colored arrow decorated with mirrors, jasper and jewels. As soon as he enters the woman's house, he will put a colored arrow behind the bride to show that she belongs to the groom's house, and then take off the jasper on the arrow and pin it on the bride's head to show that the groom's soul has attached itself to the bride.

When the bride was about to become a monk, the family climbed to the top of the building, grabbed the colorful arrow just inserted in the bride's back with one hand and a leg of lamb with the other, and repeatedly shouted, "Don't take away our family's good luck!" . . . "Shout until the bride goes away.

On the way back to the groom's house to pick up the bride, the wedding procession was led by people wearing white robes, riding white horses and holding gossip. If you meet passers-by carrying water or firewood on the road, it means good luck and you must dismount and send Hada; If you run into someone taking out the garbage or carrying a patient, it means disaster. After marriage, you must ask the Lama to recite the scriptures to eliminate disasters.

Before the arrival of the bride, the man has put a bag full of highland barley or wheat in front of the door and arranged it properly. After the bride arrived, she stepped on these bags and entered the groom's house. After the ceremony of "cutting the horse", toasting, hanging Hada and blessing from the elders, she entered the bridal chamber.

funeral

Celestial burial, also known as "bird burial", is the most common burial method for Tibetans. After the death of ordinary people, the bodies are first wrapped in white cloth.

Put it on the adobe in the corner of the room, then ask the Lama to recite the scriptures and let the soul of the deceased leave the body in the morning. After three or five days, choose an auspicious day to hold a funeral. From the mortuary to the funeral, the family members of the deceased are not allowed to make noise, laugh, wash their faces and comb their hair, and they must hang a red pottery jar around Bai Hada in front of their house, which contains something for the soul of the deceased.

On the day of the funeral, the family took off the clothes of the body, wrapped it in white, and then carried the body to the gate along the white line drawn on the ground and handed it over to the celestial burial staff. The family can only see the deceased off at the entrance to the village, and can't follow him to the celestial burial platform. On the way to the celestial burial platform, the person carrying the body must not turn back. After arriving at the celestial burial site, the celestial burial master put the body on the burial platform and then made a fire to smoke. When the "vulture" in the distance saw the smoke, it flew over immediately. Before dawn, the celestial burial master cut the body into pieces with a sharp knife, then smashed the bones, fed them to vultures, and then fed them to meat pieces. If there are any bodies left, they must be burned to ashes and scattered on the hillside to let the dead "ascend to heaven." Although the process of celestial burial is cruel, * * * thinks that this is in line with the meaning that the Bodhisattva gave his life to the whole life, which can make the soul of the deceased ascend to heaven.

Water burial Water burial is a kind of burial method used by people with low status or loneliness, that is, the body is wrapped in white cloth and thrown into the water to go with the flow. Because there are no vultures in southern Tibet and it is impossible to carry out celestial burial, water burial is often used.

Burial Burial is a way to bury robbers, murderers or people suffering from infectious diseases (such as smallpox and leprosy). In the concept of * * *, burial will make the soul be absorbed by the land, which is a punishment for the dead, so it is regarded as the most disreputable burial method.

Cremation cremation is a kind of burial method adopted by dignitaries or monks. The body is washed and burned, and then the ashes are scattered on the top of the mountain or by the river.

Lingta Burial Lingta Burial can only be used by people with special identities, such as * * *, Panchen Lama or Living Buddha. The corpse was washed with salt water, dried, coated with precious spices, and kept in a stupa decorated with jewels. Some things and valuables used by the deceased were put in the tower. In addition, there are cremated bodies, and then the ashes are stored in the Lingta. ...& gt& gt

Question 5: Tibetans are the most taboo, and they don't like what others say is urgent ~ ~ offering "Hada" is the most common etiquette of Tibetans. In * * *, it is customary to offer "Hada" for weddings, funerals and celebrations, to welcome people away, to visit their elders, to pay homage to the Buddha statues and to bid farewell to long journeys. Offering "Hada" is to show purity, sincerity, loyalty and respect for each other. It is said that when * * * entered the temple gate, he presented a Hada first, then paid homage to the Buddha statue, visited the temple and sat with him. When he left, he put a Hada behind the seat where he sat, indicating that although I left, my heart stayed here. Hada is a kind of raw silk fabric, which is loosely spun into a net and also made of silk. The top grade "Hada" is woven with various hidden flower patterns such as lotus, Aquarius, umbrella cover and conch, which means good luck. Hada's material varies with different economic conditions, but people don't care about the quality of the material, as long as they can express their master's good wishes. Hada varies in length, ranging from 1 to 2 feet for the elderly to 3 to 5 feet for the short. Tibetans believe that white symbolizes purity and good luck, so Hada is usually white. In addition, there are colorful Hada, the colors are blue, white, yellow, green and red. Blue means blue sky, white is white clouds, green is rivers, red is the protector of space, and yellow symbolizes the earth. Multicolored Hada is the most precious gift for making colorful arrows for bodhisattvas and their loved ones. Buddhist teachings explain that colorful hada is the costume of bodhisattva. Therefore, multicolored hada is only used under certain circumstances. The action of offering Hada varies from person to person. Generally speaking, you should hold Hada with both hands, lift it to shoulder height, then stretch forward and bend down to give it to the other party. At this time, Hada is flush with the top of his head, showing respect for each other and the greatest blessing-good luck. The other party greeted him respectfully with both hands. When offering Hada to venerable persons and elders, raise your hands above your head, lean forward slightly, and hold Hada in front of your seat or at your feet; For colleagues or subordinates, it can be tied around the neck. Offering Hada is very common in * *, even when people communicate with each other, they will attach a small Hada to the envelope to show their blessings and greetings. What's particularly interesting is that * * * will bring a few Hadas when he goes out, in case he meets long-lost relatives and friends on the road. Hada stands for different meanings on different occasions. On the day of the festival, people presented Hada to each other to congratulate them on a pleasant journey and a happy life; Offering Hada at the wedding means wishing the newlyweds a mountain of love and a long life together; When welcoming guests, offer Hada to show piety and pray for the blessing of Bodhisattva; Hada was presented at the funeral to express condolences to the deceased and comfort to the family of the deceased. There are many theories about the origin of Hada. There is a saying that the Han Dynasty left Zhang Qian. There is also a saying that the ancient French king Bathba brought it back to Yuan Shizu after meeting Kublai Khan. At that time, there were designs of the Great Wall of Wan Li and the words "good luck" on the silk. Later, people made some religious explanations about the origin of Hada, saying that it is a ribbon on the fairy, and white symbolizes holiness and supremacy. Drink butter tea: In * *, every Tibetan family can see butter anytime and anywhere. Butter is an indispensable food for every Tibetan. Butter is extracted from milk and goat milk. In the past, herders used a special method to refine ghee. First, they heated the milk meter, then poured it into a big wooden barrel called Dongxue (about 4 feet high, with a diameter of 1 foot), and whipped it up and down for hundreds of times until the oil and water separated, and a layer of lake yellow fatty substance floated on it, scooped it up, poured it into leather bags, and cooled it to become ghee. Now many places gradually use cream separators to extract ghee. Generally speaking, a cow can produce four or five catties of milk every day, and every hundred catties of milk can squeeze out five or six catties of ghee. Butter can be eaten in a variety of ways, mainly by beating butter tea and drinking L, or blending with a rake. Stir-fry fruit on holidays and use ghee. Tibetans like to drink ghee sticks on weekdays. When making butter tea, tea or brick tea is boiled with water for a long time to make it thick paste, then the tea leaves are poured into the "end of winter" (butter tea barrel), then butter and salt are added, and Jia Luo is pumped up and down for dozens of times, and the oil tea is stirred until it is mixed, and then it is poured into the pot to be heated, thus making delicious butter tea. Tibetans often entertain guests with butter tea. They drink butter tea and have a set of rules. When the guest is asked to sit at the Tibetan square table, the host puts a wooden bowl (or teacup) in front of the guest. Then the host (or housewife) lifts the butter tea pot (which is usually replaced by a thermos bottle now), shakes it a few times and fills a bowl of butter tea for the guests. If the guest doesn't drink the freshly poured butter paste, tell the host first. When the host once again mentions that the butter tea pot stands in front of the guests, the guests can pick up the bowl, blow it gently in the butter tea bowl first, blow away the oil flowers floating on the tea, and then sip. > & gt
