Later, due to the interaction between ministries and ethnic groups living in various parts of Tibet and other factors, Tibetan costumes continued to evolve, develop and enrich.
Tibetan costume is a common costume of Tibetan people, and it is also the most remarkable feature that distinguishes it from other ethnic groups. The basic feature is that the eldest son wears a lapel with a right slit inside, a fat waist lapel, wide and long sleeves, and the collar, lapel, cuffs and hem are mostly trimmed with fine wool or colored cloth. Take off one or more sleeves at work during the day and tie them around your waist. A robe and a long-sleeved shirt. When a man wears a belt, he usually lifts his robe to his knees. When a woman girds her waist, she usually raises her robe a little so that the hem covers her ankles. Specific styles, men and women in different regions have their own characteristics.
When did Tibetan costumes come into being? At present, the Qiang costumes that we see directly depicting Tibetan costumes are faintly visible in the bronze figures unearthed from the tombs of the Warring States and the Western Han Dynasty in Shizhaishan, Jinning. There are nearly 300 figures on the bronze wares on Shizhai Mountain, some of which are woven goods. This kind of dress is characterized in that both men and women wear straight striped clothes or fur cloaks, exposing one or two arms and wearing hair ornaments on their heads. Tibetan robes are different from agricultural and pastoral areas. Generally speaking, Tibetan robes in agricultural areas pay attention to beauty, while Tibetan robes in pastoral areas pay attention to practicality and warmth. Tibetan robes in agricultural areas are usually made of wool or wool, and the collar, cuffs, front and bottom are inlaid with silk and colored cloth. It is characterized by long sleeves, wide waist, hypertrophy and extra long. When dressing, you should put the robe on your head first, and tie a red, blue, green or snow-blue belt around your waist, with the hanging part slightly lower than your knees. After the head is exposed, the waist naturally forms a "big bag" that can hold personal belongings. In summer or at work, only the left sleeve is worn, and the right sleeve is pulled up from behind and put on the shoulder, and some simply take off the two sleeves and tie them around the waist. The women's summer dress is very beautiful, with no sleeves and a silk long-sleeved shirt inside. Tibetan robes in agricultural areas are elegant and elegant, and can be directly used as stage costumes without any carving.
The most basic features of Tibetan costumes are fat waist, long sleeves, big waist, right neck, long skirt, boots, braided hair, gold and silver, pearls and jade ornaments. Due to the long-term closure, generally speaking, there is little vertical difference in the development of Tibetan costumes, and the color tone changes little. The shape and texture of Tibetan costumes largely depend on the ecological environment of Tibetan people and the production and lifestyle formed on this basis. Therefore, the regional characteristics of Tibetan costumes are obvious.
