What are the traditional Tibetan festivals?

Traditional Tibetan festivals include:

1. The Snowdon Festival is one of the important festivals for Tibetans in Tibet. It is held on July 1 day every year for four or five days. Xuedun Festival is a Tibetan translation, which means "yogurt feast", so Xuedun Festival is interpreted as a festival for drinking yogurt.

According to the regulations of the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism, the annual Tibetan calendar is from June 15 to July 30, and lamas in large and small temples are not allowed to go out to avoid stepping on insects, and they can only go down the mountain after the lifting of the ban on July 30. When the Lama went down the mountain, farmers and herdsmen took out yogurt to offer sacrifices, forming the Snowdon Festival.

2. The Buddha's Birthday Festival held in Tashilhunpo Temple in the Tibetan calendar of Shigatse, Tibet every May. Tashilhunpo (Tibetan transliteration "Auspicious Xumishan") Temple is the fourth largest temple of Gelug Sect (Yellow Sect) in Tibetan Buddhism. At the foot of Mount Nisai Ri in Shigatse, Tibet, is where the Panchen Lama lives in tin. .

3. Praying for the New Year Festival is the biggest activity in Tibetan areas, which is not only a large-scale religious activity, but also a folk festival. The Tibetan name is "Morangchebo". There are two kinds of grand activities in Tibetan areas in this area. One is the Gelug Prayer Festival; One is the primitive Tibetan religion, Running Festival. These two prayer festivals are the same. They are held twice a year, once on June 15th of the lunar calendar and once on the first to third day of the first lunar month. The prayer festival in January is bigger than that in summer.

There are also temples and followers of Benbo religion in the state, which still retains a strong primitive religious custom. On the 13th or 14th day of the first month, people who come to attend the grand event will walk around the sacred mountain Xiaoxitian behind Gummy Temple. On the morning of the fifteenth day of the first month, the monks and lamas in the temple put on new robes, and the band in the temple blew the brass trumpets.

Then the monks of the whole temple gather in the hall to recite the scriptures, and the living Buddha arranges their duties on this day. At about 12, monks performed a "jumping god" program for pilgrims and audiences all over the world. The content of jumping into the gods includes stories praising the unity of Tibetan and Han nationalities in history and dances adapted from classic stories of Benbo religion.

Extended data:

The architectural art of Tibetan Buddhist temples is the most national and contemporary in ancient Tibetan architectural art. It is built on the mountain, with great scale, magnificent momentum, exquisite craftsmanship and resplendence. From the beginning of the formation of Buddhist temples to the formation of the main architectural style of Tibetan Buddhist temples, it has generally experienced three stages of development: temples, temples, palaces and temple buildings.

The most representative Tibetan folk house is the diaofang. Bunkers are mostly stone-wood structures with thick external walls and simple and rough styles; The outer wall shrinks upward, and if it is built on a mountain, the inner slope is still vertical.

Bunkers are generally divided into upper and lower floors, and the number of rooms is calculated by columns. The bottom floor is a barn and a storage room, and the floor height is low; The second floor is the residential floor, and the large suite, bedroom, kitchen and small room are storage rooms or stairwells. If there is a third floor, it will be used as a lecture hall and terrace. Because it looks like a bunker, it is called a bunker.
