The basic features of Tibetan
costume existed before the Tibetans emerged as a race. Archaeological
findings show that the Qiangs, which later became part of
the Tibetans, once lived in Sichuan, Qinghai, Gansu and Xinjiang
regions. Historically, the Qiangs in Gansu and Qinghai and
local inhabitants in Tibet had frequent cultural exchanges
and often migrated to each other's areas.
The dry corpses discovered in a cemetery of a primitive commune
in Hami, Xinjiang, which is near Qinghai Plateau, can be dated
back to 3,000 years ago. When unearthed, the hair of the corpses
was plaited, the male wearing fur-coat and high boots. Their
clothes share the costume style of the Tibetans.
