| Tibetan Robe [edit this] | | Loose and big, the Tibetan Robe is usually longer than your height. There are complicated procedures to wear. The man gets into it, holds high the robe, lets the lap dropping down the knees, and lies it girdle around the waist. You will only use one left sleeve, and your right arm is exposed out of the robs for convenience of farm work. In hot days, they expose both arms and pull the collar down to the waist. At this moment, men look even more handsome and swellish. | Edit by: Dorothy | |

| Tangka Drawing [edit this] | | An art treasure of Tibetan culture, it has a history of over 1,000 years, with strong ethnic and religious coloring. Drawing a Tangka is very complicated. The painting master has to meditate for several days before he starts, in order to calm down his temperament and sublime his accomplishment. The painters seldom write their names on Tangke, because their work is believed to be an act of devotion or cultivation. There are lots of procedures, and it often takes several months or even years to complete. All the pigments are naturally collected, including gold, silver, agate, pearl, vermilion, ochre, saffron, rubia root, and rhubarb. These pigments are grounded for many times into power, and mixed with a bit of the bull's gall as antisoptic. Tibetan painters use high quality gold, or literally pure gold. To get the finest gold luster, they use opals to rub smooth the spot where gold powder is applied, which is usually very expensive.
A high-quality Tangka is made of painstaking work of painters who represent the best combination of their religious enthusiasm and unusual will power with finest craftsmanship. It embodies both the spiritual and artistic values far beyond ordinary expectation of artworks. | Edit by: Dorothy | |
