Tibetan traditional clothing
The most basic features of traditional Tibetan clothing are wide waist, long sleeves, large front, right front, long skirt, long boots, braided hair, and exaggerated gold, silver, pearl and jade ornaments. The thick, warm, wide and warm wide waist and long sleeves are naturally adapted to the specific environment and climate where the Tibetan people live. For example, the long felt robes of Tibetan plateau herders have a protruding gap on the chest (similar to a bag), so that they can store tsampa, tea leaves and rice bowls when going out. When it is hot or working, they can expose their right arm or both arms as needed, tie the sleeves around their waists to regulate their body temperature, and put them on when needed; when sleeping at night, untie the belt, take off the sleeves, spread half of the clothes and cover the other half, making it a warm sleeping bag, which can be said to be a multi-purpose garment. Tibetan hats are called "Xia Mao" in Tibetan, and there are many kinds of them. People in the Qamdo area in eastern Tibet like fur hats. Most Tibetan fur hats are made of a whole piece of fox fur, giving people a sense of ruggedness and boldness. The "Golden Dingfu" is a kind of hat made of felt and fur, decorated with gold satin, silver satin and gold ribbon. It is popular in Lhasa, Shigatse and other places. It sparkles in the sun and is loved by men, women and children. The felt robe is a traditional Tibetan decoration. It is a wide robe made of hand-spun wool called felt. There are also robes woven with pure cloth. The shape is mostly large or round collar, right opening, with one button or no button, and the edge or collar is often decorated with colorful cloth or leopard skin. Cowhide clothing In the Cona area of Tibet, women's clothing is very unique. Regardless of age, they all have a complete calfskin on their backs. The fur is inward and the leather plate is outward. The calfskin head only needs to face up, the cow's tail is down, and the limbs are stretched to both sides. In this area, women are the main force in animal husbandry production. Their attire reflects the primitive totem worship. In addition, wearing cowhide on the back and carrying rice on the back can avoid wearing clothes, and can also keep out moisture and keep warm. There are three types of Tibetan shoes, namely "Songba shoes", "Galuo shoes" and "Duoza shoes". Generally, they are made of felt, woolen cloth, velvet and leather as the main materials, and the color matching is very particular. Some are embroidered with various patterns with silk threads, and some are trimmed with gold silk satin and appliqued. The toes of the shoes are square, round, pointed and hooked, and the shapes are different. However, all kinds of Tibetan shoes have a 10-centimeter-long opening at the back of the waist for wearing and taking off. Tibetan shoes need to be tied. The shoelaces are very particular, woven with fine plush, with various beautiful patterns, and colorful tassels at both ends. The colors are bright and colorful, which is pleasing to the eye when matched with Tibetan shoes. Bangdian is a colorful apron worn by Tibetan women around their waists. Bangdian is finely woven and colorful, which makes a very deep impression. The process of making a bang pad is relatively complicated: generally, the yarn is first spun by hand, then dyed, brushed, woven into strips, and finally sewn into a skirt.
