西藏拉萨：“酥油花”开 喜迎新年
Butter sculptures gain popularity across Lhasa ahead of Tibetan New Year

2月12日，在拉萨市林廓东路，来自西藏日喀则市仁布县普松乡的手工艺人罗布在制作酥油花。这是为了给酥油降温定型，防止融化。春节、藏历新年临近，拉萨年味渐浓。酥油花作为藏族群众的年货之一，渐走俏市场。酥油花以色彩鲜亮的酥油为原材料，经手工艺人在冷水里反复揉捏定型降温后，用木刀精雕成日月星辰、花叶藤蔓及动物造型，再拼接粘贴在盾形木板上，制作成栩栩如生的酥油花作品。一朵朵制作精良的酥油花，传递着对新年的美好祝福。[新华社记者 丁增尼达 摄]
