It fully shows the heroic spirit of the Tibetans in Qinghai and their ardent love for song and dance. It is no exaggeration to say that singing and dancing have infiltrated every part of life, each strata of society, the inner world and mental outlook of the Tibetans. Throughout the ages, the Tibetans have been struggling for a better life with their songs and dances. They include horse races, sacrificial rituals for the Qinghai Lake, singing and dancing party on the Gyigu Grasslands in Yushu, mountain worship gathering at Dawu in Golog, and the June Festival at Tongren in Huangnan. When these festivals are held on emerald grasslands under blue sky dotted with white clouds, flowers are in full blossom.
Nomadic herders gather from all sides.
They put up tents and butcher cows and sheep. They sing, dance and drink qingke wine for days running with snow-capped mountains skirted by pure rivers in the distance. During the singing and dancing seasons, the old meet to drink and tell yarns about the past and the present, the harvest and children, while the latter frolic about the area freely like lambs. Young men and young girls flirt to their hearts' content. Putting on their best clothes, girls adorn themselves with priceless jewels, while the enigmatic smiles on their ruddy faces hint at secret thoughts.
