Can't "Tibetans" speak Mandarin?

Tibetans have their own language and writing. Tibetan language belongs to the Sino-Tibetan branch of the Tibeto-Burman language family, which is divided into three dialects: Wei-Zang, Kang and Amdo.

Tibetans generally believe in Tibetan Buddhism. Buddhism was introduced into Tubo from Tianzhu in the 7th century, with a history of 1400 years. People in Xizang has created a splendid national culture, leaving a very rich cultural heritage in literature, music, dance, painting, sculpture, architectural art and so on. Tibetan carving skills are superb.

custom

Tibetans pay great attention to etiquette. In daily life, they bow to their elders and peers in different ways. When you meet an elder or a respected person, you should take off your hat, bend over 45 degrees, hold your hat in your hand and get close to the ground. When you meet your peers, all you have to do is lower your head and put your hat on your chest. At this time, bowing is just a courtesy.

In some areas, crossing hands and bowing are used at the same time. Cross your hands above your head as a sign of respect. This kind of gift is mostly used to meet old people or respected people.
