There are many different new year ceremonies around the world, but Tibetan new year is different from any other communities, and we also call it Spring Festival.
The biggest festival in Tibetan area is Spring Festival. What would we do?
We get up early, because we need to do many things. For example, we would put on Tibetan robe and the robe should be new. Then we will do the worship to our parents.
On the first day of the new year, most of parents would make ginseng as the breakfast for their children. To make a ginseng dish, we add cheese, butter, sugar and mix them with ginseng. Ginseng is a delicious and traditional Tibetan food. Besides ginseng, we also have yogurt(酸牛奶), cream. But on the first day of new year, we usually eat some vegetables, because this day is meaningful.
In the afternoon, every family would put some food and drinks on the table, such as yogurt and Zanba.
In the evening, we watch the Spring Festival Evening Party. Kids would light firecrackers, we dance and sing. We pray together for good luck, health and happiness of next year.
This is Tibetan new year, welcome to my hometown.
在世界范围内，存在着各式各样的新年仪式，但是藏历新年却是独一无二的。
在藏族地区，最盛大的节日便是藏历新年，在这一天，我们会做什么呢？
我们会很早起床，因为我们有很多的事情要做。比如，我们会穿上崭新的藏袍，然后向我们的父母请安。
在大年初一，大多数父母都会为自己的孩子准备酥油茶作为早餐，在藏区，酥油茶是一种传统而且美味的食物，是将黄油、奶酪、糖和参茶混合在一起而做成的，除了酥油茶外，我们也有酸牛奶、奶油。但是，在新年的第一天我们也常常吃一些蔬菜，因为这天是十分具有纪念意义的。
在中午，家家在桌上都会摆放一些吃喝的食物，比如牛奶和糌粑。
晚上，我们会看藏族的春节联欢晚会，孩子们会燃放鞭炮，我们载歌载舞。我们还会相互祈祷，希望来年我们都会身体健康、万事如意、幸福美满。
这就是我们的藏历新年，欢迎来我的家乡做客！
