What traditions do herders on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau continue?

Herdsmen on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau continue the tradition of "relying on the sky to raise livestock."

Due to the impact of the natural environment, the nomadic production method of herders on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is more risky. In addition, due to different cultural traditions, families with a larger adult population have larger pasture areas, while families with a smaller adult population have smaller pasture areas. After the pastures are divided into households, herdsmen know very well that a certain pasture area can only carry a certain amount of livestock, so they can only grazing quantitatively in mesh fences based on traditional grazing experience.
