| Summary |
Tibet is a less-explored region in China. Its traditional New Year is mysterious and less known to the rest of the world, yet 'The Tibetan Calendar New Year' is the most important festival for the Tibetan people. This book introduces the origin, development, dissemination, and traditions of this festival. Written in an English-Chinese bilingual text, the book introduces the traditions of Tibetan people's New Year, and it offers a new image of their unique celebration.
