Do Tibetans celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival?

Do Tibetan people in Qinghai Province celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival? This is absolutely necessary. On the Dragon Boat Festival, Tibetan compatriots will cook all kinds of delicious food and wine. Everyone wishes and celebrates each other during the festival, hoping for a good harvest in the coming year. Let's share the greetings of the Tibetan Dragon Boat Festival and the basic process of the festival.

Do Tibetans celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival?

I must have!

The Tibetan Dragon Boat Festival in Tibetan areas in Qinghai is actually the epitome of the Dragon Boat Festival in Qinghai, which can be summarized in one word: simple.

But it will be easier for Lao Liao to spend the Dragon Boat Festival at home, haha.

Let's take a look at the folk customs of the Dragon Boat Festival in Tibetan areas.

On holidays, it is generally necessary to prepare one day in advance. Tashi's grandmother bought leeks. I saw so many leeks on the table that I had no idea what she was going to do.

I haven't eaten leeks for decades. I don't eat leek buns, jiaozi, leek scrambled eggs and leek boxes at all-no!

Why don't you eat? I forgot a long time ago that once I had a stomachache, I still heard that it was bad for my stomach.

Chop fresh leeks and put them in a large pot. Why?

Zhuoge said that he was going to "plant willows" the next day, and there were no willows in the village. Go find Hueros?

It turns out that leek is not the material used to make steamed buns, but the important core material for making leek boxes.

It's also an empty talk. Just put branches on the door, not willow branches.

It is said that you should wear sachets. Some people make it themselves, while others buy sachets. This is the little doll's way of celebrating the festival. Older children don't have to do this, but it's not clear how old they are.

Wear not only sachets, but also new clothes. Tashi is brand new from head to toe. Grandma washed his face, and he was reluctant to part with it.

Grandma put all the sachets on him herself, only other children wear one, and he wears three!

Photographing: Not to commemorate, but for relatives who work outside. Tashi's parents work in Tibet. The parents of Dongzhucai Doll are also working in other places. With WeChat, everyone can easily video, make phone calls and send photos in real time.

Dongzhu talents put sachets on the Qinghai page of the atlas to take pictures. This hint is really too obvious.

Every holiday season, young and middle-aged couples who work outside the home will care about the elderly, children and relatives left behind in the village.

Tibetan Dragon Boat Festival food:

Cold noodles: The ingredients of cold noodles here are chopped leeks, topped with hot oil, vinegar and Chili sauce.

The cold noodles in each family are different. Grandpa Nima likes fine noodles, while other families like coarse noodles.

Bean jelly: the ingredients are the same as above.

Leek box: every family makes it one day in advance, and I can eat it one day the next day. I ate three leek boxes in a row, which basically supplemented my leek boxes for decades.

The leek boxes of different families are also different. I like to eat the "outer packaging" of Zhaxi's leek box, and the noodles are crisp and fragrant; There are some diced meat in grandpa Nima's leek box. It will be better to eat it while it is hot.

Zongzi: Some people can do it, but not everyone can.

Most of the food in rural areas is made by ourselves, unlike people in cities who go to supermarkets to buy ready-made food.

Qinghai Tibetan area has a high altitude and the land is not suitable for planting. Tibetans still mainly graze and raise livestock, supplemented by planting. Because the products are not rich, the Dragon Boat Festival is relatively simple.

Every family has just passed the Dragon Boat Festival.

Tashi's grandparents are still middle-aged laborers. Enough food was prepared for the family, and after feeding the livestock, enough cold noodles and vegetables were left. There are only grandma, Tashi and us at home, and they set out to dig Cordyceps again. They didn't dig anything the day before. The days of digging Cordyceps are numbered, and no one will give up this critical time.

Grandpa Nima washes clothes for his grandson at home. Why do men wash clothes? Because his legs are not good, grandma's health is ok, and grandma has gone to the mountains to dig cordyceps, so he has to take care of his grandson and do housework.

Lao Liao ate a big bowl of cold noodles (specifically a big bowl and a small bowl) at Nima's house. After listening to a laundry list of local stories of grandpa Nima, my stomach and brain are full.
