Features: A Series on Basic Conditions of Tibet, China. Surrounded by continuous snow-capped peaks and ice peaks, the Tibetan Plateau is the land where the Tibetan people have lived and thrived for generations. Due to a shared historical process, similar cultural and natural environments, as well as the same religious beliefs and spiritual concepts, especially the relatively isolated transportation conditions, the Tibetan people have gradually formed their own unique customs in housing, diet, clothing, as well as life rituals such as birth, aging, illness, death, marriage, and funerals. There are also cultural heritage in music, dance, painting, sculpture, entertainment, festivals, etc. This is what has attracted countless ethnologists, folklorists, sociologists, and cultural anthropologists from home and abroad, who are deeply interested in it and tirelessly carry out investigations, explorations, research, and dissemination of Tibetan folk customs and the charm of the snowy land.
