In the past, the marriages of young Tibetan men and women in Xiahe County were arranged by their parents, and the media were invited to get engaged. The bride must go back to her parents' home three or seven days after marriage 15 days. When the bride's family marries her daughter, it depends on the number of drinks given by the man's family. Give more gifts and accompany more wine. But there are also several times or even ten times as many dowry gifts as the man gives. Some women's families will accompany the man's lack of livestock, farm tools, food and clothing.

The Tibetan diet in Xiahe County has a unique ethnic flavor. Drinks include milk tea, highland barley wine, yogurt and so on. Special dishes include crispy rice, noodles, bracken rice, hand-grabbed mutton, Tibetan steamed buns and so on. To boil milk tea, first pour water into the teapot, put brick tea on it, and cook it on the stove. When the tea boils and gives off tea fragrance, then pour milk. Some people also add a little ginger or green salt. The boiled milk tea overflows the teapot and can be drunk. To make mutton by hand, we usually pick the gluten from the sheep, cut it into small pieces of about four inches, put it in a clear pot and cook it with slow fire. When cooking, filter out the blood foam, then add salt and pepper, cook for two to three hours, and take out the pot. Fern rice is also a unique diet for Tibetans in Xiahe County. When cooking bracken rice, first cook bracken and rice separately, then beat butter into juice and put it in a bowl. When serving rice, first put the rice into a bowl, put ferns on it, sprinkle with sugar, and then pour ghee juice. Use a spoon to scoop from the side of the bowl when eating.
