Festival in Lhasa

1, Tibetan New Year: Tibetans have been preparing for the New Year since December of the Tibetan calendar. The first day of the lunar calendar is the first day of the Tibetan New Year. The first thing they did was to send someone to the river to carry back the first bucket of water-auspicious water. From the next day, relatives and friends visited each other to celebrate the New Year. This activity lasts for three to five days.

2. Ox King's Club: Ox King's Club begins on August 15th of the lunar calendar and generally lasts for more than ten days, sometimes even one month. The number often exceeds 1000. During the Ox King Congress, people invited black pagers to chant Buddhist scriptures, blow yak horns and slaughter dozens of yaks or hundreds of sheep. Because of the huge cost, this large-scale ox king meeting has only been held once in a hundred years. All the members attending the Ox King's Club have the same blood relationship and belong to the cultural festival of ancestor worship.
