The snowy plateau has a cold climate, but people often take off a sleeve. Why?

Tibetans live in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with high altitude and large temperature difference between day and night. In one day, there are often changes in wind, rain and snow. Tibetan people often describe climate change as "four seasons in one mountain, but different days in ten miles". Tibetan robe is made of good material and has strong cold-proof effect. The robe sleeve is spacious. When the temperature rises, you can easily take off a sleeve to adjust your body temperature, which is also beneficial to your life and travel.

Tibetan robe has a big waist and a fat inside. It can be worn as clothes during the day to keep warm and cold. At night, it can make the bed and sleep with clothes. In addition, it is beneficial to labor production. Tibetans graze, work and farm. When the weather is changeable and the temperature needs to be adjusted, just take off their sleeves. It is also convenient to take off your sleeves and tie them around your waist and bend over to work. This has become a habit, so even when the temperature is normal, Tibetans wear Tibetan robes with only one sleeve.

Characteristics of Tibetan robes:

Fat waist, long sleeves and big breasts are typical structures of Tibetan clothing. The fur robes and double robes in pastoral areas, the brocade robes of officials and nobles, and the costumes of monks in religious festivals all have this feature.

"Duizi" (short coat) in Lhasa, Shigatse, Shannan and other areas also has this feature. As for the "ancient show" in the industrial and cloth areas, its basic structure is also more simplified than that of the fat waist and big belly. This kind of clothing not only saves sleeves, but also combines the skirt with the predecessor.

The basic characteristics of Tibetan costume structure determine a series of additional costumes. It is inconvenient to walk in a straight fat robe, so the belt has become a must-have item.

Belts and boots are the main accessories to wear. Various styles of "Luo Song" (waist ornaments inlaid with jewels) are tied on the belt and hung on the hips to form various tail ornaments. All kinds of exquisite "poverty alleviation" (similar to daggers) are also tied on the belt.
