open Cnature nation, good at the riding horses , arrows-shot ,the
men always have a silver knife on the waists. They believe in the
Lama Religion, the Huang religion (yellow religion) as the main
one. Many feasts are related with the religion, like as " New Year
of Tibetan Calendar" , "The Day of Being the Buddhist" and so on.
At the eve of New Year they will have the meals while set free the
"Dragon Lights" and burn the joss sticks. At the night they all
sing the old songs and dance surrounding the campfire. The Tibetan
young people are much more free before marriage. By the methods of
singing songs to each other for further understanding , the
parents of male side will go to the girl's house for a offer of
marriage after they both are engaged themselves. If the parents of
bride agree it so the wedding date will be fixed. The ceremony
will last to the next morning by the singing and dancing. It will
be over after the light can be seen in far away. |
