The traditional customs of the Tibetan Highlands, the bathing season of Gamma Zhiji, and the naked bathing of the young girls in the river

a long time ago, in the autumn of a year, the tibetan plateau was marked by an extraordinary plague in which a large number of livestock died and a large number of people lost their precious lives, with their bodies scattered throughout the country.

as a result of the disaster, which shocked the gods of the heavens, the buddha sent the seven fairys to the yu ji to collect seven bottles of the water and dump it in every river in the tibetan plateau.

the tibetans, inspired by the divine dream, went to bathe in the water and eliminated the sick, thus curbing the epidemic.

since then, people have been bathing in rivers on the days of the appearance of venus every fall, and since then, from 6 to 12 july, which is fixed as the tibetan calendar, it will be a seven-day bathing festival, a holiday unique to the tibetan people, known by the tibetans as "gamazhi", meaning a bathing day.

ablution has become a traditional custom of tibetans.

the tibetan ablution festival is 700-800 years old.

since the 11th century, when stars were introduced into tibet, people have been able to draw a distinction between spring and autumn festivals through the abandonment of mountain stars.

every time the mountain disappearer appears in july, the bathing becomes climax.

disappear the stars, the bath is over.

they believe that the water during this period is better than the holy water.

instead of superstitious colours, tibet's early autumn was indeed the best time.

because of the short summer and winter season of the tibetan plateau, the spring ice and snow began to melt, the water of the river was too cold; the rain of the summer was heavy and the water mixed with the water; the autumn wind and the sun, the water was clean and warm, and naturally the best time for bathing.

it is well documented that the first autumn water has eight advantages: one gin, two colds, three softs, four light, five cleans, six doesn't stink, seven drinks don't hurt the throat, eight drinks don't hurt the stomach.

thus, july is also the best season for tibetan tourism.

the bathing season is a popular bathing event in tibet, which takes place at the beginning of july.

the bathing season is a week.

at the beginning of the bath, the elderly gathered on the shore to wash their heads and wipe their bodies; young people jumped into the water to wash themselves; children gathered in the water to play and play; and women jumped into the water without fear.

rivers and lakes opened up their hearts, accommodated the crowds and washed them clean and clean.

seven days in a row, people not only clean themselves completely, but also bring together all the rest of their household to wash their clothes.

the bath festival became the most thorough and spontaneous annual mass health campaign for tibetans.

as snow from the mountains flows slowly through mountain slopes with precious herbs such as “silents”, the active ingredients of the precious drugs are dissolved into the crystallized snow water and become a natural bath of clean body, disinfection and health care.

this snow water has taken the dirt away from people's illness and has brought cleanness and warmth to a long and healthy life and is greatly appreciated by tibetans.

every day on this day, whether it's bright or dark, whether it's a town, a village, a pastoral area, a granddad or a grandmother likes to bring their children and grandchildren with them, to make tea, to cook their cattle and goats, to prepare their tatters, to make them greenfood, swimming by the river with the largest green grass, washing clothes.

people by the river pouring water, rubbing their backs, listening to young boys and girls sings, and some people are happy on this day.

people are eating in the wild these days, playing park, playing with stones and enjoying the world's beauty.
