Characteristics, appearance and introduction of Tibetan costumes: The plateau in northern Tibet is characterized by low temperature and heavy wind and sand, and it is a vast grassland and natural pasture. People living here should choose clothes that are convenient for living, traveling and keeping out the cold. Tibetans in pastoral areas wear fur coats, which have a large structure and worry-free cuffs. They are free to wear. When the temperature rises, they can take off their sleeves, adjust their body temperature with bare arms, and take off their clothes to sleep at night. Herdsmen's fur robes cannot be separated from their belts. When you wear it, lift the hem up to your knees, and a bundle of straps forms a big bag in your arms, which can hold many personal items. The fur robe is made of sheepskin processed by indigenous method, which is durable, wind-proof and cold-proof. Ordinary fur robe, men's wide waist, big waist hypertrophy, front with 10 to 15 cm wide black velvet edge, sleeves and hem, but some do not make decorative edges. The lapels, sleeves and hem of women's fur robes are first trimmed with black velveteen with a width of 10 to 20cm, and then trimmed with red, blue and green velveteen (each with a width of 5 to 10cm).

Newly-married women in Golog, Qinghai Province should wear big oilcoats, red sleeves and gorgeous vests, and have the habit of hanging sweat towels on their backs. The hem is inlaid with otter skin and the collar is covered with leopard skin. Herdsmen's holiday costumes are of high quality and exquisite workmanship.

Women in agricultural and pastoral areas like to use contrasting colors, while urban women choose to use slender related colors to form a delicate and gentle tone.

Even in rural areas, due to different natural conditions, each has its own clothing characteristics.

In pastoral areas, men, women and children wear refined sheepskin robes in winter, which are mainly divided into two categories: one is thick skin and long hair, and sheepskin robes sewn with this skin are the best winter clothes; First, thin skin and thin hair are most suitable for sewing Tibetan robes and making clothes in spring and autumn. * * * I like to use tiger skin and leopard skin as collars on sheepskin robes, with black corduroy or black satin bread edges and deerskin edges. On the women's fur robe, use two or three corduroies with different widths and a 2-inch-wide floral skirt.

Both men and women like to wear felt hats and top hats, and fox fur hats in winter. I like to wear ivory silver bracelets, gold and silver rings and a silver "Wu Ge" (protective box). Men like to hang a waist knife on their belts. There are long knives and short knives, which are more than two feet long and about seven or eight inches short, commonly known as "hanging knives" or "waist knives". Turquoise and coral are embedded in the handle. Generally speaking, the knife a woman carries is only five inches long. It is necessary for herdsmen's production and life, and also a defensive weapon.

Men in pastoral areas have the habit of long hair, plaiting it in a single braid or putting it on their heads or behind their heads. Most people are used to cutting it short now. Women pay special attention to decoration. Generally, unmarried women wear their hair in many braids, while married women wear it in double braids. In Jiuzhaigou area, women tattoo countless thin black lines on their hair; Weave a number of thin braids, from the forehead to the back of the head, straight down to the buttocks, and connect with the hair with silk thread or long cloth. There is a silver shield (silver) on the cloth strip, which looks like a bowl. It is carved with various exquisite patterns, inlaid with agate, coral, amber and so on. Married women in Songpan area should tie a headdress with amber as the main part on their heads and put cow hair or deer hair in a small bag (or tiger skin) sewn with amber and coral. Amber ranges from a few pieces to more than ten pieces. According to their respective economic conditions, this kind of long bag embedded with treasures is connected to the hair and worn on the head. According to legend, this headdress became popular only when the Potala Palace was built.

Tibetan men and women often wear high-grade Tibetan boots and leather shoes, reaching to the knees. In winter, put some dry soft grass or dry highland barley grass under your feet to keep warm. * * * Leather shoes are sewn by both men and women, and the sole has only a thick layer of leather, so the sole needs to be replaced every year. There is also a kind of Tibetan shoes with leather soles, which are not only light, but also suitable for wearing.

In rural areas (referring to Marcand, Heishui, Yamato, Xiaojinchuan and other places), men's clothes are basically the same as grass, while women generally wear long gowns, mainly in black, with silk flower at the waist, and some have more than a dozen flowers to show wealth.

Buttered tea is made by pouring the tea leaves of brick tea into a long barrel with a length of 1 m, adding salt and ghee, and impacting it up and down with a long shaft to evenly mix its various components.
