[tibetan pavilion, turquoise stone, red coral] Tibetan Costume

Tibetan Costume

     
Tibetan costume features a loose waist, long sleeves, and a big front. People wear fur coats on festivals and big occasions. The color is determined by religious factors, with white, yellow, and red being the most popular. Tibetan costume is mainly composed of a Tibetan robe and a Tibetan-styled shin (a garment covering the front part of the lower leg).

1. Tibetan robe

Loose and big, the robe is usually longer than one's height. It is somewhat complex to put on and even wear the robe. The man gets into it, holds the robe high, lets the lap drop down the knees, and ties the girdle around the waist. He will only use one left sleeve, and the right arm is exposed out of the robe for farm work convenience. On hot days, they expose both arms and pull the upper clothes down to the waist. Wearing the robe in this manner makes, a man even more handsome.

2. Tibetan-Styled Shirt

One of the shirt's features is that the left shoulder is larger than the right. There are buttons or colored ribbons on the armpits to fasten the shirt. Men wear white shirts, and women, calico ones. Generally speaking, men's shirts have a high collar, while the ladies' are turndown collars with long sleeves.

3. Hats and boots

Of the various styles of Tibetan hats, the most common is the felt hat. The hat's top is decorated with golden silk and the edge is inlaid with silk ribbon. In the middle of the last century, western hats were introduced and have been in fashion in Tibetan inhabited areas ever since.

Boots are one of the favorites of Tibetans. Men and women, old and young, all wear boots like those of officials and generals in traditional pageant dramas. Tibetan boots adopt exquisite colors. Some of the insteps are embroidered with silk thread into different designs, while others are edged with golden silk thread. At the back of various boots, a 10-centimeter-long mouth is opened for the convenience of putting on and taking off. Tibetan boots are not only beautiful and tasteful, but also comfortable, durable, and wear-proof.

Grand Tibet parade on schedule

 
September 1 marks the 40th anniversary of the establishment of China's Tibet Autonomous Region. A variety of celebration activities have been planned, with the highlight, a grand parade in the capital Lhasa .

In the Potala Palace square, participants are busy with the last few rehearsals. Twenty floats will be on display...to reflect Tibet's achievements in various fields.

This dancing group is particularly eye-catching. These Choshio dancers come from Shannan Prefecture, in southern Tibet. With beating drums and swinging hair, they show off their traditional culture.

More than a hundred Lama monks will also take part in the parade, selected from five temples in Lhasa, including Jokhang Temple and Ramoch Temple. They hope to impress viewers with their profound understanding of Tibetan Buddhism .

Traditional costume displays will also be part of the parade. And the Yak Dance from Lhasa, with a history of over one-thousand-three hundred years, is also certain to entertain the audience.

These are just some of the many spectacular performances on show, all aiming to give a panoramic view of Tibet. This event, with the participation of more than 6000 people, is the largest of its kind since the establishment of the Tibet Autonomous Region.
