The Tibetan Minority藏族

As it is known to us all, there are 55 minority groups in China, each with its traditional customs, costumes and culture. Now let’s take a look at the Tibetan Minority.

The Tibetan Minority group live in Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan Province. And the highest ridge in the world─beautiful and mysterious Tibet is their major habitat .

As the fertilized prairie stretches around the habitants as far as the eyes can see, most people live on animal husbandry, raising sheep, goats, cattle and growing a special kind of plant called Qingke. On account of the unique climate, people often wear warm and comfortable boots in winter, and they are always dressed in delicate robes which are made of the fur of sheep. Often they take off one sleeve of the clothes and tie it around their waists in order to work easily and use it as warm quilts at night.

Both men and women there like wearing silver ornaments, which look very mysterious and full of magical power. And they are good at singing and dancing, and the men there can have braids too. When they meet an important guest, they will present him or her a Hada, a piece of long white silk cloth to show their respect. And they will also treat the guest to a special kind of drink called Suyou Tea, which some people find hard to enjoy.

Besides, the habitants have developed both their own written and spoken languages, and the long poems they wrote play an important role in Chinese literature. And there are many well-protected culture relics as well, taking the grand Budala Palace as an example. It is a historical museum as well as an art treasury, where people can share their spirit belief in Buddhism and get artistic entertainment of the carved paintings and the beautifully-written chirographies.

The Tibetan ethnic group is also famous for its strange custom in funeral. Thinking that the soul belongs to the sky after a person dies, they usually put the body on a platform outdoors, spray on it and wait the condors to come to eat the body. In this way, they believe the soul goes up to the sky.

The Tibetan Minority is brimming over with deep emotions. The people there are very zealous and hospitable and they live freely and happily on the spacious grassland. Their history and culture contribute to the diversity of China, so we certainly should protect them and get them popularized and let them receive great respect they deserve.

我們大家都知道，有55個(gè)少數(shù)民族在中國(guó)，各有自己的傳統(tǒng)習(xí)俗，服飾文化?，F(xiàn)在讓我們看一看藏族。

西藏少數(shù)民族居住在青海，甘肅，四川和云南省。和“世界屋脊”之稱(chēng)的─美麗而神秘的西藏是他們的主要棲息地。

當(dāng)受精的草原綿延周?chē)用裰灰劬梢钥吹?，大多?shù)人生活在畜牧業(yè)，飼養(yǎng)綿羊，山羊，牛和成長(zhǎng)的一種特殊的植物叫青稞。在獨(dú)特的氣候，人們經(jīng)常穿著溫暖舒適的靴子在冬天，他們總是穿著精致長(zhǎng)袍制成的羊的毛。他們常常把一套衣服，把它系在腰間的為了工作方便和使用它作為晚上溫暖的被子。

男人和女人都有喜歡戴銀飾品，這看起來(lái)很神秘，充滿(mǎn)了神奇的力量。他們都擅長(zhǎng)唱歌和跳舞，和那里的人可以有辮子太。當(dāng)他們遇到一個(gè)重要的客人，他們將他或她的哈達(dá)，一塊長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的白色絲綢以示他們的敬意。他們也會(huì)把客人的一種特殊的飲料叫蘇油茶，而有些人覺(jué)得很難享受。

此外，居民已經(jīng)開(kāi)發(fā)了自己的口語(yǔ)和書(shū)面語(yǔ)，和長(zhǎng)的詩(shī)寫(xiě)在中國(guó)文學(xué)中發(fā)揮重要的作用。有許多很好的保護(hù)文化遺產(chǎn)的同時(shí)，以大布達(dá)拉宮為例。這是一個(gè)歷史的博物館以及藝術(shù)寶庫(kù)，在那里人們可以分享他們的精神信仰和佛教的雕刻畫(huà)藝術(shù)娛樂(lè)和漂亮的書(shū)體。

藏族也是著名的喪葬風(fēng)俗。認(rèn)為人死后靈魂屬于天空，他們通常把尸體放在一個(gè)平臺(tái)上的戶(hù)外，噴霧和等待禿鷲來(lái)吃身體。以這種方式，他們相信靈魂升到了天空。

藏族是充滿(mǎn)了深深的情感。那里的人很熱情好客，他們自由快樂(lè)的生活在寬闊的草原。他們的歷史和文化有助于中國(guó)的多樣性，所以我們一定要保護(hù)他們，讓他們獲得巨大的推廣和讓他們自己應(yīng)得的尊重。
