The Tibetan New Year

"Wheat ripens at the beginning of the year", "Under the snow-capped mountains, wheat turns yellow, Happy New Year." Now, in the middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, there is a tradition of "looking for fruit" before the autumn harvest. People wear ancient costumes, ride horses, pray in circles along the harvested highland barley, ride horses and shoot arrows, dance around the bonfire, and entertain themselves and the local patron saint. According to legend, this is a relic of the Chinese New Year in June in ancient Tibet.

The Kampot (Linzhi) area, 400 kilometers east of Lhasa, is surrounded by snow-capped mountains and virgin forests. It is still the first day of October in the Tibetan calendar and is called Kampot Lotha. According to the history of Tibet, the Kampot region has a very long history.

Therefore, wearing new clothes during the Spring Festival is to please the king of God.
