XIGAZE, Jan. 13 (Xinhua) -- Locals in Xigaze celebrate the farmers' New Year on the first day of the twelfth month of the Tibetan calendar, which fell on Jan. 12 this year.
On Friday, the Pasang Butri family, who live in Xigaze City, got up early and dressed up in new clothes, welcoming the arrival of the farmers' New Year. This is the first time for the four-generation family to spend the farmers' New Year in their new home, a newly renovated three-story house.
Sitting beside an exquisite chema box (a rectangular wooden box containing roasted barley and fried wheat grain), families and relatives enjoyed their feast and expressed their good wishes for the New Year.
