string, hot bar and other characteristic dance vocabulary, let us appreciate the cultural heritage of the Tibetan people, historical changes and folk customs. In the past, Tibetans used to be the slaves of others, so the previous Tibetan dances were mostly stooping and not very big movements. This is mainly because of the primitive state of society, the Tibetan region is relatively closed and independent, by the Han and other ethnic influences is relatively small, therefore, the Tibetan folk dance is well preserved its original appearance. The reason for the stooping dance is that at that time the Tibetan people had no status and lived under the exploitation and oppression of others. These original dances from the folklore have contents that express the war experiences of the ancient primitive society, totem beliefs and various folklore, rituals and ceremonial activities such as entertainment activities to express people's joy in various traditional festivals, as well as those that express the laboring life and the love of young men and women. The original folk dance of the Tibetan people has well preserved the original expression and concept of Tibetan folk dance. And the dance "Turn over the serf to sing" is a turning point of Tibetan dance. It reflects the new life of the Tibetan people as well as the joy of the Tibetan people's life before they were finally liberated.

It depicts a mysterious and extensive, long-standing and splendid picture of Tibetan customs through songs, dances and music.
The Tibetan Mystery is a large-scale stage play in pure Tibetan style, which takes what an old Tibetan woman sees and hears on her pilgrimage as the clue, and takes songs, dances and instrumental music of different regions of Tibet as the expressive carriers, and shows the Tibetan life, folk customs and religious ceremonies in situational style, so as to completely reproduce the essence of the unique Tibetan culture.
