[Explanation] It is currently December in the Tibetan calendar, and the Tibetan New Year is approaching.

In a Tibetan-style courtyard near the Ramoche Temple in Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, a group of villagers from Duosuo Village, Pusong Township, Renbu County, Shigatse City, are making butter flowers, one of the must-have items for the Tibetan New Year.

The raw material for making ghee is ghee. In order to make it solidify and form, the ghee must be made in a low temperature environment to prevent the body temperature from warming up and affecting the shape of the ghee. In the process of kneading the ghee, the hand should also be immersed in ice-cold water from time to time to cool down.

The colorful ghee is twisted and transformed into different shapes at the fingertips, and then pasted on a shield-shaped wooden board. In this way, a pair of brightly colored ghee flowers are completed.
