Introduction to Snowden Festival:

Lhasa Xuedun Festival is one of the biggest, largest and richest festivals in Tibet, and it is a national intangible cultural heritage. The Tibetan calendar is held on June 30th every year for one week. In Tibetan, "snow" means yogurt and "rice" means "feast". Therefore, the Xuedun Festival means the Yogurt Banquet, which is also called Yogurt Festival, Tibetan Opera Festival and Buddha Exhibition Festival.

In recent years, the Shelton Festival has developed into a grand festival integrating cultural performances, sports competitions, business negotiations, tourism and leisure, and the integration of tradition and modernity.

Custom and etiquette

Tibetans pay great attention to etiquette. In daily life, they bow to their elders and peers in different ways. When you meet an elder or a respected person, you should take off your hat, bend over 45 degrees, hold your hat in your hand and get close to the ground. When you meet your peers, all you have to do is lower your head and put your hat on your chest. At this time, bowing is just a courtesy. In some areas, crossing hands and bowing are used at the same time. Cross your hands above your head as a sign of respect. This kind of gift is mostly used to meet old people or respected people.

Offering Hada is the highest etiquette for Tibetan guests, expressing warm welcome and sincere respect to the guests. Hada is Tibetan, that is, scarf or silk scarf. Mainly white, but also light blue or light yellow, generally about 1.5 meters to 2 meters long and about 20 centimeters wide. The best is the colorful Hada in blue, yellow, white, green and red. Multicolored hada is used for the highest and most solemn ceremonies, such as Buddhism.
