Introduction to the Kham Tibetans: Except for Ya'an, which has a large number of Han people, the main ethnic groups in the Western Sichuan Plateau are Kham Tibetans. This great nation multiplied endlessly on the snowy plateau and created a splendid Tibetan culture. However, due to the high mountains and dangerous roads and the existence of some indigenous languages ​​among various tribes and castes at that time, there were great differences in the pronunciation of Tibetan. Therefore, according to different dialects, Tibetans are divided into Lhasa dialect area, Amdo dialect area and Kang dialect area. Most of the Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture belongs to the Kang dialect area. People in the Kang dialect area call themselves Kham, and there is a famous saying among the people: "Kham people can dance if they can walk, and sing if they can talk." Entering the Western Sichuan Plateau will be a journey of singing and dancing.
