Walking on the streets of Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan, you can see Bhutanese women wearing ankle-length "Kira" skirts; Men are taking off their coats with big sleeves, wearing traditional robes called "Guo" on their upper bodies, white and tidy cuffs on their arms, and knee-length skirts and stockings on their lower bodies. According to local people, big sleeves can be used as pockets. If you put something in your sleeve and hold the cuff with your hand, the contents will not fall out. Men's clothes have neither buttons nor pockets, and they only rely on a wide belt to tighten their clothes, thus forming an "open mind" of Bhutanese men, and everything that can't fit in their sleeves can be put into their arms. The adults piled up the "odds and ends" that they held in their arms. Students don't have to carry schoolbags at school, all stationery books are in their arms, and their clothes are bulging.

The clothing of Thimphu people reflects their attitude of advocating leisurely life. The local people said that due to the long-term influence of Buddhist teachings, the idea of being generous and not competing with the world has already penetrated into the lives of local people. Locks and keys are almost useless in Thimphu, because the law and order in Thimphu is good, the crime rate is extremely low, and people rarely lock the door when they go out.

Isolation does not mean that the people are weak. The forest is dense, there are many wild animals such as black bears and snow leopards, and daggers are indispensable in the weapons of local men. Moreover, from the king's ministers to the common people, all of them are excellent archers, and some senior Bhutanese officials even carry long swords with them at work. Whether on the hillside or in front of the roof, colorful flags fluttering in the wind can be seen everywhere in Thimphu. The scene is spectacular, simple and mysterious. Locals say that people believe in Tibetan Buddhism, and these five-color flags are actually prayer flags printed with scriptures. Previously, this prayer flag with a length of 3 feet and a width of 1 foot was printed with six-character proverbs such as "Om, Ma, Ni, Pa, Mi, moo" and dragon and tiger patterns. The edge of the flag has five colors, namely blue, white, red, green and yellow, which symbolize blue sky, white clouds, flames, green water and land.

It is said that during the prosperous period of the Tubo Dynasty on the ancient Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the rulers gave them Hada in addition to a large number of cattle, sheep and gold and silver jewelry for the warriors who made great achievements in the war. The soldiers hung Hada around their home to show their bravery. Over time, people see hanging Hada as beautiful. After the rise of Buddhism, some monks skillfully borrowed this popular way to promote Buddhism in the local area. They claim that as long as believers print the scriptures on cloth and hang them up, whenever the prayer flags are blown by the wind, it is equivalent to reading the scriptures to heaven, which has the same effect of accumulating good practice as oral recitation. As a result, this method has been highly praised by many illiterate herders and has been popular ever since.

Now, for the sake of convenience, most of the local prayer flags in Thimphu are simply made of five-color flags, without printed patterns and words. Whenever people celebrate their birthdays, festivals and even move to a new home, the first thing they have to do is to hang a prayer flag and pray for the protection of the gods. Interestingly, Bhutanese often put scriptures in wooden barrels and let them go with the flow. In the eyes of local people, wooden barrels move because of the current, which is also a way for them to chant to God.

In this country where gods are believed to be everywhere, masks similar to the face of an ox's head and horse's face and an eagle's mouth and monkey's face have become an indispensable part of people's lives. On major religious festivals every year, many people in Thimphu wear goose yellow satin skirts, embroidered cowhide boots, and sing and dance with various "ferocious" masks. According to the local people, these masks are the products of primitive religion. Some are to express their love for nature, some are to drive away monsters, and some are to pray for a good harvest in the coming year.
