I appreciateFranceTibet scholar Shi TaianTibetInterpretation of culture, he in the "Tibet civilization" in one book, from the angle of geography, topography, climate, people formed the different life style of Tibet in different regions of the geography and climate, and then affect different tribal national character are analyzed. The coexistence of different natural environment in Tibet, but also the natural formation of lifestyle mountain pastures and fields, animal husbandry and agriculture etc. different. As Shi Taian of the Tibet culture explanation way, way of life and our characters can also be interpreted from the geography and climate of Lhasa.

Because of the Nyainqentanglha mountains blocked into the northern cold air, while the southern part of the Yarlung Zangbo River and across the Tibetan Plateau in the Himalaya mountains cut a hole,IndiaThe warm and humid ocean along the Yarlung Zangbo River flow into LhasaHebeiOn the Lhasa River, on the flat valley created a completely different from other Alpine Region in Tibet "small jiangnan".

"Mountains rise in the East, shape if the tigers will jump; two western mountain canyon, like the eagle wings; the south water meandering, shape such as dragon circling; North Ridge stack of gentle slope, like a turtle crawling." This is Princess Wencheng to Lhasa at the beginning of the description of Lhasa, it is the "South Stream, meandering" that Lhasa had formed the stable farming life, Lhasa Valley has become Tibet one of three big granary Valley, and years of Chu Yarlung Zangbo valley. Four mountain arch ring, a water flow, even in the winter, the sun is warm like spring, slowly Lhasa river brought prosperity, but also created the Lhasa people calm, soothing way of life.

To experience Lhasa's slow life, not to mention eight Barkhor street. "Eight regions" in Tibetan language is intermediate the road, is aroundJokhang TempleAnnular Market Street, it is with the completion of the Jokhang Temple and gradually developed, and ultimately shape grow about 500 meters, is the road and merchants.

Eight outline street was originally around the Jokhang Temple by the pilgrims day in and day out, year after year stepping out, now has 1300 years of history.

Eight outline street is the history of the centre of Lhasa City, is a microcosm of the history of Lhasa.

In the eight streets, you can see the ancient religious belief and modern bustling commercial parallel. Standing in front of the Jokhang Temple Square, surrounded by ancient Tibetan architecture, white wall, black window, the Jokhang temple roof gold, majesty and mystery. The pious Ke Long Head life-size, homeless dogs asleep in the central square, lazily enjoying the winter sunshine.

In the narrow streets of eight profile street in many shops, stalls, selling Tibetan handicrafts, jewelry and silverware...... In winter, the bright sunshine will still shake you dizzy, of course, all kinds of goods that a superb collection of beautiful things will make you see. Said Lhasa must go to eight Barkhor StreetShoppingIn addition, in fact, shopping, here can also be Lhasa to experience a slow life good place. On both sides of the street, there are a lot of Tibetan Tibetan teahouse, tea, these tea house the majority of visitors or the local Tibetan compatriots.

The teahouse is often not excessive decoration, door hanging on the top edge of the summer Mupu or hung Tibetan curtain, indoor is not large, put a wooden stool. Table stool surface is worn without the gloss, but there will always be a soft cushion. Choose a window seat, spent 15 yuan to 3 pounds of butter tea, the small cup of reeky holding in their hands, sipping on a mellow, full, enjoying the sunshine, watching the street, people are hurrying to and fro., don't care about the passage of time. No one advised tea, you feel this is laid in tea also didn't finish, in this noisy city, well, you will feel slowly melt into the real life of Lhasa, was completely released from the usual heavy work, back to the origin of life, loose and comfortable. You don't understand her Tibetans in what to say, but they face a contented has infected you regain peace of mind.
