逐水草而居的藏民

西藏迁徙中的牧民特写

在西藏，大约有40%左右的藏民过着游牧或者半游牧的生活。

逐水草而居，是藏区游牧民族的生活特性，他们生活的一切，都建立在牦牛的生产和马背之上。

西藏的牧民，他们的生活更就是一个与恶劣的高原环境竞争的过程。在青藏高原之上，每天地面上的疾风都不停歇，气温可以从冬季的零下40℃到夏季的60℃，温差极大，如此恶劣的生活环境，牦牛便成为他们在青藏高原赖以生存的关键所在。首先，藏民居住的帐篷是由牦牛的毛编织而成；每个藏区的帐篷里面，总是在中间的位置燃上牦牛粪火炉，以便取暖和做炊事；帐篷里用由牦牛奶制作的酥油灯做照明，他们的被褥用牦牛的毛编织。他们的饮食更是由酥油糌粑、牦牛甜奶、干酪甚至是风干牦牛肉构成。

在藏区，一个贫穷的家庭，会养殖20头左右的牦牛；而富裕的家庭养殖的牦牛可能多大500头。

Approximately 40% of the ethnic Tibetan population is nomadic or semi-nomadic.

Nomads has to move ,so the cattle has new and fresh grass. Taking everything they own and put it on the backs of yaks and horses.

For the Tibetan nomads, life is indeed a struggle in the harsh environment of the high plateau: A place where the ground and winds are in perpetual motion. It is a place where temperatures range from a low of -40 degrees Fahrenheit to around 60 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. The yak is the key to survival on the Tibetan plateau. A visit to a nomad’s tent illustrates this point. The tent itself is made from yak hair. Upon entering, the center of the tent is warmed by the fire of yak dung. The tent is illuminated by yak butter candles, and their blankets are made from yak hair. The principle diet includes tsampa and yak butter, dried yak cheese and sometimes yak meat. A poor family may have 20 yaks or fewer; wealthy families up to 500.
