Ceremonies marking the start of spring farming were held in Xizang on Saturday during which farmers held "chema" (a wooden box filled with colorful grains and barley flour, symbolizing good luck and prosperity in Tibetan culture), sang songs, and toasted each other with barley wine. The ceremony holds great significance as it marks the beginning of a new year's farming season and serves as a prayer for favorable weather and bountiful harvests. It is considered an important ritual in the farming regions of Xizang. (Xinhua/Jigme Dorje)
