Amdo TIBETAN MILKING, CHURNING BUTTER, AND WEAVING
<p>TIBETAN MILKING, CHURNING BUTTER, AND WEAVING</p><p>Gser mo mtho གསེར་མོ་མཚོ།</p><p>On Friday, September 1, 2023, I used an iPhone 12 Pro Max to capture footage of my mother, Rgya kho (b. 1964), milking, churning butter, washing wool, and weaving at our home in Sha rgya Community, Mgo mang (Guomaying) Township, Mang rdzong (Guinan) County, Mstho Lho (Hainan) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Mstho snon (Qinghai) Province, PR China.</p><p> </p><p>Rgya kho is a single mother of four daughters. She lived with her grandmother until her passing. Afterward, she lived with her mother. Her education was cut short in the second grade by her grandmother, who believed girls should stay home to care for the elderly, give birth, and raise children. This idea also applied to my two older sisters. Nevertheless, my mother has not forgotten the Tibetan alphabet taught by her teacher and is currently self-learning Tibetan to read textbooks and messages on WeChat.</p><p> </p><p>My mother and I have breakfast at 8 and begin milking our seven female yaks at 8:30, which takes about 30 minutes. On the day I recorded, it took forty minutes due to rainy weather. </p><p> </p><p>My mother prefers churning butter using the traditional method, citing time-saving benefits because she doesn't need to churn every day. In summer, she churns butter once every three days, and once a week in autumn and winter. Despite suggestions from villagers to switch to a machine churn, she continues with the traditional method, valuing the superior taste and health benefits of handmade butter. It takes at least two hours to churn butter the old-fashioned way. My mother begins churning at 1 PM and continues until 3 PM. My sister-in-law and I assist her, which is not in the film. In my childhood, I eagerly anticipated these days as Mother would share butter balls, my favorite, with me and neighboring children to our delight.</p><p> </p><p>Mother wove only during my primary school years. During that period, women from our neighborhood worked together to weave and make black tent material. However, with the contemporary preference for white tents due to convenience and warmth, I haven't seen Mother weaving since I started high school. Recently, when I asked for a handmade bag, Mother agreed to make one for me, which I videoed. </p><p> </p><p>TIBETAN TERMS</p><p>gser mo mtho གསེར་མོ་མཚོ།</p><p>mang zdong མང་རྫོང་།</p><p>mgo mang མགོ་མང་།</p><p>mstho lho མཚོ་ལྷོ།</p><p>mstho snon མཚོ་སྔོན།</p><p>rgaya kho རྒྱ་ཁོ།</p><p>sha rgya ཤ་རྒྱ།</p><p> </p><p>CHINESE TERMS </p><p>Guinan 贵南</p><p>Guoma Ying 过马营</p><p>Hainan 海南</p><p>Qinghai 青海</p><p> </p>
Prevalence of Mental Health in Relation to Religious Practices in A Contemporary Small-scale Older Amdo Tibetans
<p>This dataset includes survey and wearable device data collected from elderly Amdo Tibetans in 2023. The study explores the relationship between religious participation (such as prayer, kowtow, and pilgrimage) and both physical and mental health outcomes. Data were collected through household interviews and wearable wristbands to provide objective measures of physical activity. Participants with a history of mental health issues were excluded. The dataset provides insights into the health impacts of religious practices in a rural, subsistence-based lifestyle.</p>
