The way Tibetans spend the Spring Festival.

Tibetan people celebrate the Spring Festival in the following ways:

Tibetans celebrate the New Year according to their own calendar. The Tibetan calendar is similar to the China lunar calendar of the Han nationality, and it usually comes within a few days after the Spring Festival of the Han nationality. On the day before New Year's Eve, when the sun is about to set, every household dumps dirty water and dirt to the west, so that those dirty things can be removed with the setting of the sun, as a sign to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, hoping that people will prosper and everything will grow.

On New Year's Eve, a grand "Jumping God Meeting" will be held. People dressed in gorgeous costumes and grotesque masks, accompanied by conch, drum, suona and other musical instruments, sing and dance, madly bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, exorcise evil spirits and reduce happiness. On New Year's Eve, Tibetans like to eat oil cakes, milk cakes, blood sausage and hand-grabbed meat. On the morning of New Year's Day, women first go to the river or the well to fetch water, which symbolizes the good luck, health and longevity of the whole family.

Tibetan clothes

Tibetan costumes, both men and women, have been well preserved so far, with different costumes in different regions. Men's wear is uninhibited, and women's wear is elegant and chic, especially jewelry and jade as accessories, which forms the unique style of plateau women. The basic characteristics of Tibetan costumes are long sleeves, wide waist, long skirts and boots, which largely depend on the ecological environment and the production and lifestyle formed on this basis.

Tibetan costumes are colorful, and their characteristics are also prominently reflected in color matching and composition. During cultural performances and festivals, colorful Tibetan costumes will become the focus. Tibetan people's daily clothes are mainly blue and white, with colored belts or lace. In pastoral areas, the lace of Tibetan clothes is usually blue, green, purple, cyan, yellow, rice and other color blocks, which in turn form colorful ribbons.
