There are 111 thousand
Tibetans in Yunnan ,who mainly inhabit in Diqing Tibetan
Autonomous Prefecture, a few number in Lijiang. They
take the works of animal husbandry. Their garments
are mainly made of the skins of animals. Tibetans
are the open ¨Cnature nation, good at the riding
horses , arrows-shot ,the men always have a silver
knife on the waists. They believe in the Lama Religion,
the Huang religion (yellow religion)as the main one.
Many feasts are related with the religion, like as
" New Year of Tibetan Calendar" , "The
Day of Being the Buddhist" and so on. At the
eve of New Year they will have the meals while set
free the "Dragon Lights" and burn the joss
sticks. At the night they all sing the old songs and
dance surrounding the campfire. The Tibetan young
people are much more free before marriage. By the
methods of singing songs to each other for further
understanding , the parents of male side will go to
the girl¡¯s house for a offer of marriage
after they both are engaged themselves. If the parents
of bride agree it so the wedding date will be fixed.
The ceremony will last to the next morning by the
singing and dancing. It will be over after the light
can be seen in far away.
