In Tibet, people who can't make a fire at the door and stick red stripes are not allowed. Why?

It is also forbidden to burn a fire with special branches in front of your house, because it means there are patients at home. In this case, if you continue to disturb the layman, you may be unhappy and there may be some misunderstanding. Therefore, it is normal to follow the local customs when traveling, so do your homework before traveling, otherwise making jokes is just a trivial matter, and causing unnecessary trouble is a big deal, remember!

Tibetans are ethnic minorities in China, living in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with harsh natural environment. Tibetan customs are very different from those in other places. Some of the things we usually do are completely different in their folk culture. What we think is normal may be taboo, impolite or even disrespectful there, so friends who travel to Tibet had better know in advance.

With the improvement of living standards and convenient transportation, more and more people like to travel, and more and more people travel to Tibet, especially friends from go on road trip. In recent years, go on road trip and Tibet have become a very popular tourism mode, but this kind of tourism mode actually has some influence on the local people in Tibet. After all, many tourists are on a whim and don't understand the local national culture, which is easy to cause bad influence.

Before you travel to Tibet, you should do your homework about local information and culture. First of all, Tibet is a cold place with a harsh climate at high altitude, so you should bring enough cold-proof and warm clothes before going. Because it is a high altitude area with low oxygen content, people who go there will generally have altitude sickness, so under normal circumstances, you should take a series of measures to deal with altitude sickness before going there, because altitude sickness is serious and even life-threatening, while Tibet is vast and sparsely populated, and most of them are uninhabited areas. Once something happens, it is difficult.

Therefore, emergency things should be prepared. Moreover, there are local folk culture. Because Tibetan culture is different from ours, we must understand it clearly. First of all, in Tibetan culture, Tibetans stick out their tongues at you as a sign of affection for you. Moreover, in Tibetan families, men and women cannot sit together, but there are obvious differences. Men usually sit on the left while women usually sit on the right. Of course, if Tibetans arrange for you to sit on the right, then you don't have to sit.

The second is that Tibetan children can't touch their heads, because in Tibetan culture, there are gods on their heads, so they can't touch their heads. Touching their heads is blasphemy to God. Tibetans attach great importance to religious beliefs, so they worship gods. Touching their heads is disrespectful to them, so you must never touch the heads of Tibetan children. Fourthly, fishing and eating fish are not allowed in Tibetan plateau lakes, because those are not allowed in their culture.

You can't eat dog meat in Tibet, and dogs are also very important in their culture, so don't eat dog meat in the local area, let alone eat dog meat. Once you do this, you don't respect their cultural beliefs. Horses are the most important means of transportation for Tibetans, and they have a high position in the local area, so they can't hurt horses or even eat horse meat. Try not to say that horses are not good in front of Tibetans.

Of course, although many local Tibetans are simple and enthusiastic, not everyone has a strong sense of place. At the same time, you can't call them Tibetans in front of them, because they will think you look down on them, so be sure to pay attention to your address. Pay attention to some problems when you need to disturb Tibetans. For example, if you hang a red cloth in front of your house, don't go in, because there are pregnant women waiting to give birth, and you are not allowed to contact outsiders.
