Why are Tibetans wearing beeswax?
We all know that Tibetans are very fond of wearing various ornaments. In Tibet, we often see Tibetan beads, hair bands, hair accessories, belts, rosary beads, necklaces, etc., all made of beeswax, turquoise, coral, etc. , very beautiful, and valuable, but what is the reason? Follow the small series to get to know it!
You must be very curious, why do Tibetans like to wear these valuable gems? This starts with the Tibetan lifestyle.
Tibetans mainly live in the Tibet Autonomous Region and the alpine region in the south of Qinghai. These areas are not conducive to the growth of crops, so most Tibetans make a living by nomads.
The ancients called nomads as "the land by the water". In fact, "by" is a behavior that follows the laws of nature and follows natural changes. Therefore, Tibetans who use nomadism as their main lifestyle generally do not have a fixed residence.
Tibetans who do not have a permanent residence often migrate according to natural changes, so they must bring a lot of materials and property every time they move.
Over time, the clever Tibetans merged and replaced the inconvenient property with valuable gems. Beeswax, turquoise and coral are the gemstones that Tibetans often use. They are not only easy to carry but also beautifully decorated. Inheritance has become a habit and consciousness.
When you see the Tibetan ornaments in the streets of Tibet, don't be surprised, this is not a show, but you carry it with you. Perhaps this is already their entire family.
