What are the customs of Tibetan life?

1. Clothing: Tibetan men and women wear braids and like to wear jewelry. Men's hair is braided at the top, and some are cut short as a hijab. In adulthood, women began to braid their hair, some with double braids, some with many small braids on their backs, and hung ornaments at the ends of braids or special hair racks. Both men and women like to wear tweed hats or thin fur hats.

2. Diet: The staple food in agricultural areas is Bazin, which is made of fried green naked or pea mixed tea. Tibetans like butter tea and milk tea. Butter tea is made by pouring butter and hot tea into a special wooden barrel and stirring. The staple food in pastoral areas is beef and mutton.

3. Funeral: Celestial burial, also known as bird burial, is practiced in some parts of Tibet. That is, the body will be sent to the mountain burial ground for dismemberment and cutting, and the bones will be smashed and fed to vultures. After the death of the reincarnation of the living Buddha, a grand ceremony should be held. The body should be preserved with spices and medicines, sat on a plate, covered with fragrant mud or built a stupa. Generally, living buddhas and lamas with status are cremated with ghee, and ashes and mud are kept in a fixed place for support, but cremation is prohibited when crops are harvested.

The history of Tibet is an inseparable part of the history of the motherland. Tibetans first lived on both sides of the middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River in Tibet. In the archaeological excavations in Nyalam, Naqu, Linzhi and Changdu, cultural relics of Neolithic and Paleolithic Age were found.
