What are the traditional Tibetan cultures?

1, Clothing: Due to the different geographical climate and products, in Tibetan areas, it can be said that "a hundred miles of different customs, a thousand miles of different styles", and different regions have different dressing styles, showing colorful characteristics. Tibetan robes are the main costumes of Tibetans. They are wide-chested and wide-sleeved, sewn with animal fur and other fabrics, wide and long, and tied at the waist with a belt.

2. Diet: Tibetans feed on cereals such as wheat, rice and highland barley, and highland barley suitable for plateau growth is the staple food. Tibetan people have a long history of planting highland barley. As early as 3500 years ago, ancient highland barley carbonized particles were unearthed at Changguogou site in Gongga in the late Neolithic period. After the barley is fried, it is ground into powder and noodles, which is called Baba.

3. Dwellings: Dwellings are the most popular buildings, and their shapes are subject to geographical environment, building materials, building technology, folk customs, living habits and other factors. Diaofang is a unique residential building form in Tibet. Bunker is generally a two-story structure, the upper layer is the living place of people, and the bottom layer is the livestock and storage room. Small windows and narrow doors are widely used in bunkers to keep out the wind and cold.

4. Cultural characteristics: Tibet is located on the roof of the world, accounting for one-eighth of the country's total area, with an average elevation of over 3,000 meters. Himalayas, Gangdise Mountain and Nyainqentanglha Mountain run through the whole territory. It has the highest mountain in the world-Mount Everest at an altitude of 8848.13m, the highest lake in the world-Namtso Lake, and the highest river in the world-Yarlung Zangbo River. There is also the widest grassland in the world-Qiangtang grassland.

Many daily necessities, such as flagons, wine glasses, spoons, chopsticks and plates, are made of pure gold and sterling silver, and some are inlaid or wrapped with gold, silver and jade.
