A brief introduction to Jiali Folktales:

Applicant: Jiali County, Tibet Autonomous Region

Since ancient times, the people of northern Tibet have cultivated in this plateau with their diligence and wisdom, and created rich and colorful folk culture and art, among which the Tibetan nomadic oral literature is the most brilliant one. From the moment when the Tibetan ancestors opened up the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, Tibetan nomadic oral literature came into being. It handed down the wisdom, experience, joys, sorrows and joys of its ancestors from generation to generation, and became the genetic gene of harmonious coexistence with heaven, earth, ghosts and nature. It integrated into the blood and into the heart of the nomadic people, and became their way of life and survival philosophy.

The most famous Tibetan folk stories in Jiali include beiqiong, rixijiga above and rixima below, three sons of wangchengai, King laguzanbu and King tuoguzanbu, and demon king jiayuganggang. Because his story of "beiqiong" is vivid and wonderful, no one can compare with him. People give him a kind title "beiqiong", which means "little frog".
