From traditional nomadism to settled grazing.

The biggest reason is that the country is making great efforts to help herders settle down. For example, it has invested billions of yuan to help hundreds of thousands of herdsmen settle down in alpine animal husbandry counties, and built supporting projects such as houses, sheds, straw storage sheds and drinking water for people and animals. Compared with their floating life, which lives on aquatic plants, the present life is happy and stable. How to compare it? Now that the settled life is good, fewer and fewer people choose nomadic life.

In the alpine region, most of the year is in a cold state, and there are not enough aquatic plants for herders to breed and graze, so whenever the cold comes, they have to travel long distances to find places with green plants. Often such a search is half a year later. In this process, many nomadic children have to endure the cold.

Therefore, many children who have lived a nomadic life since childhood, now after living a settled life, frankly say: I don't want to live a nomadic life anymore, and I have to flee if I graze again.

In addition, the state not only invested in the construction of supporting living facilities and projects, but also guided the development of related industries, enabling herders to live a better life, greatly improving their living environment and reaching their living standards? Xiaokang? At the level, it is not because of the difficulty of stopping nomadic life that every household has found other sources of economic income from nomadic state, such as ecological animal husbandry and sightseeing agriculture, Tibetan music combining cultural tourism with rural tourism, dairy products, beef and mutton processing and so on.

Through training, organization and management, these industries can develop continuously and bring rich income.

In fact, although Tibetan herders have a nomadic tradition, this tradition is due to their source of life, and the pasture required for grazing changes with the seasons, because they can continue grazing only by chasing water plants. But now you can get the same or higher income and live a better life without grazing. Who wants to live in a displaced place?

So it is understandable that they choose to settle down and live.
