The china has a long history; also there is some culture which is centuried. Such as the word, the building, the etiquette, and the sport… surely, tell you the truth, the Chinese is more interested in the literature and art, but also, they are skilled in the sport. You can witness the achievements in the Olympic Games in 2012.And the horse racing is one of the oldest sport. Since ancient time form change very much, but the basic principles are competition speed. Now, I will introduce you a festival which hold in the plateau. Wow, it is so cool just listening. The far friend, take up the tibet railway and let us witness the horse racing festival.
Horse racing is a popular activity in the Tibetan people; it is not only the agriculture herdsman leisure rally, but also the communication farming and animal husbandry production experience chance. Also there is some one who comes to there from the far place, they have the Tibet travel from Shanghai, or some one is more far who has the Lhasa and Kathmandu travel, but especially for the festival. The lots of Tibetan people who are in the beautiful dress and take their highland barley wine and yoghourt join in the horse racing festival. It would not be the slightest bit of an overstatement to say that the horse racing is same important like the Tibet spring festival. As far as I am concerned that it is like a small Olympic Game in the Tibet. What is more significant is that the Tibetan people contribute the special national horse racing culture, because of the deep mood which the older make for the horse. To a great extent, Tibetan Buddhism affects the Tibetan history, culture, and daily life. We often see the religious ceremonies, folk customs; can see the horse race culture influence of Tibetan Buddhism during the horse racing festival. Of course, this is not the main aspects of race culture. Just as the time what you spend in the route is not the main in your Nepal and Tibet travel. Horse racing culture also contain no doubt for hero worship; this formed the brave and free character to the Tibetan who have a long-term in grassland on the nomadic life.
In all ages, the horse is combined with the Tibetan people's material and spiritual desire closely. The feelings to the horse, is strong and thick. The horse is the most intimate partners of the Tibetan people's daily life. In their heart, the horse is the life of a shepherd. Love to the horse is the nature of the Tibetan; horse racing is Tibetan people's main content of the entertainment life.
As early as before the horse racing festival for several months, the horse will no longer use and training. At the beginning. Every 7 days for a practice run; after practice run with cold water bath, in order to enhance its energy to fight cold. Near the game, practice run two times every day, then a bath. After the bath with wool felt parcel whole body and make its warm, and at the same time, feed carefully modulation ice-sugar goat's milk, careful take care of them better than babies.
Also, it is a love season for the young. The race, the grassland, the beautiful girl, the carnival, the cheer…yeah, it is the horse racing festival. The most exciting and natuaral horse racing is here, the heaven Tibet.
