Tibetan year:
Tibetan New Year is a common traditional festival of Tibetan people. Monks and laymen also celebrate the annual Spring Festival. However, there are some differences between the calculation method of Tibetan year and lunar new year.
The Tibetan year is the most solemn traditional festival of the Tibetan people, which is roughly the same as the Chinese New Year of the Han nationality. The Tibetan calendar year is based on the Tibetan calendar. The Tibetan calendar begins on January 1 and ends on the 15th, lasting for 15 days. Because the whole people believe in Buddhism, the festival is filled with a strong religious atmosphere. It is a national festival that entertains gods and people, celebrates and prays. It is said that before the Tang Dynasty, the Tibetan took wheat as the new year's day. Later, due to the arrival of Princess Wencheng, the daughter of the Tang clan, the Tang and Tubo began to have closer contacts. With the exchange of Central Plains culture and plateau culture, many Central Plains culture gradually introduced into Tibet, including calendar calculation. Later, the custom of "wheat harvest" as the new year's Day was changed to celebrate the new year with the Han nationality. Until now, it is called "luosa" in Tibetan language. It is the most important annual festival of Tibetan people in Tibet, Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, Yunnan and other provinces and regions. It is held every year on the first day of the first month of the Tibetan calendar.
