National customs

The Tibetans in the township belong to the branch of Baima Tibetans, and their common language, clothing and living habits have been spoken in Chinese.

Traditional houses are usually wooden houses with two floors and one floor (now they are mostly of brick and wood structure), with livestock in the lower floor, people in the middle floor and goods in the upper floor. The family is used to sitting around the fire pool, male left female right, children sitting outside, near the shrine for VIP seats. When having dinner, the woman in charge of the family will deliver the food first to the man, then to the woman, and then to the child. Tibetans eat highland barley, potatoes, buckwheat and corn as main food, and they are fond of mixed foods, drink "smash wine" produced by various grains, and brew low grain Baijiu, especially honey wine. Huangyang Tibetans, in particular, use songs to express their feelings in festivals, weddings, funerals, sacrifices and other activities. In ancient times, its religious beliefs included sun, moon, ox, horse, mountains and rivers, and now it is mostly Buddhism. Each family has a shrine, which reads "heaven and earth king, father and teacher" and is consecrated with fruits and other items all the year round.

In ancient times, Huangyang Tibetans did not intermarry with other nationalities in marriage, and most marriages were arranged by their parents. Nowadays, young men and women enjoy a wide range of social freedom, most of them choose their spouse and love freely. In the process of marriage, we usually have to go through the steps of "obtaining consent", "engagement" and "marriage". That is, after young men and women have the intention to fall in love, the man should prepare certain gifts to visit the woman's home, and after obtaining the consent of the woman's parents, the relationship between the two sides can be made clear; through communication, when they have the intention to get married, the man should prepare betrothal gifts to the woman's home, and the woman's home invites some neighborhood relatives to hold an engagement ceremony, and the neighborhood relatives will play the role of witness; if they are married in the future If the marriage fails, the bride's family will return the betrothal gifts to the man. After the engagement ceremony, the two sides have an open love relationship, which is closer. After further communication, when it comes to marriage, the man will propose to the woman's parents. With the consent of the woman's parents, he can marry on a certain day. The wedding ceremony is quite grand. The man will prepare a big gift to meet the bride at the woman's home. Both men's and women's homes will entertain their relatives and friends, and they will also prepare a certain amount of money for blessing. In the traditional wedding ceremony, there is also the ceremony of "recognizing the size", that is, introducing the elders of the man to the bride one by one. The elders who are introduced will give the bride different cash (red envelope), which is called "meeting gift".

In terms of funerals, it is mainly earth burial (if the child dies unfortunately, it is wrapped in sheets and discarded in caves or riversides, which still retains the custom of the child's immovable death). Funerals are also more grand, and all relatives and friends in the neighborhood will prepare certain gifts or money to go to the funeral. After the death of the old man, his children will be filial to him for three years. A ceremony will be held on the anniversary of the Memorial Day (especially the third anniversary), and relatives will go to worship him. After the third anniversary, only children and grandchildren go to the grave to worship.
