Recently, the claim that Tibetan women wear beeswax until the age of 17 has attracted widespread attention. Although there is no conclusive evidence to confirm the veracity of this claim, it speaks volumes about the importance of beeswax to the Tibetan people. In the Tibetan cultural tradition, the Tibetan people have a certain degree of attention to making beeswax jewelry, and wearing beeswax also has a special meaning.
First of all, beeswax has religious significance in the eyes of the Tibetan people. For Tibetans who devout in Buddhism, jade made of beeswax is a special talisman that has the effect of driving away evil spirits and keeping peace. Beeswax wearers believe that it protects themselves from evil spirits, while also being a form of reverence and worship for the natural world.
Secondly, the wearing of beeswax is related to collection. Because the Tibetan areas are dominated by grazing and their places of residence are not fixed, it is very inconvenient to carry valuables such as porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, etc. In contrast, gold, silver and jade are easy to carry and are more favored by the Tibetan people. As a symbol of Tibetan wealth, more beeswax jade means higher value, so the collection of beeswax jade has become a Xi.
The third reason is the health benefits of beeswax jade. Beeswax is believed to be used as a medicine to detoxify the body, reduce nervous tension and fear, and be very beneficial to the body. In addition, beeswax has a high appearance, compared with the cheesiness of gold and silver jewelry, beeswax has a unique luster, wearing multiple beeswax jade will not look too exaggerated, but more eye-catching. Beeswax jade has a very low-key look, making it perfect for everyday wear.
Although we understand why Tibetan people like to wear beeswax jade, we should be aware that it is also a style Xi of Tibetan people. There are 56 ethnic groups in our country, all of which have their own unique characteristics in terms of life and folklore. Each place has its own different styles and traditions, and we should respect and understand the cultures and traditions of each ethnic group.

After the incident, it sparked extensive online discussions and heated discussions. Many netizens expressed great interest in the cultural significance of beeswax and the customs and Xi of the Tibetan people. Some netizens said that by understanding the relationship between beeswax and Tibetan culture, they have a deeper understanding of the beliefs and lifestyles of Tibetan people, and have enhanced their respect and tolerance for multiculturalism.
Compared to previous similar events, we can look back at the traditional Xi of jewelry and ornaments among various peoples throughout history. For example, in the wedding ring Xi of Han China, newlyweds often wear a pair of wedding rings as a symbol of love. In Western countries, wedding rings are also a sign of marriage. These have both national traditional Xi and personal emotions, and express a cultural symbol through specific jewelry or jewelry.
The impact of this incident on society is mainly reflected in two aspects. On the one hand, it has aroused attention to Tibetan culture and traditions, and strengthened the society's awareness and respect for minority cultures. On the other hand, the custom of Tibetan women wearing beeswax will also attract more people to Tibetan areas to understand and experience the unique local culture, which will promote the development of tourism.
As for whether there is an update on the incident, there is no relevant report at present. But in any case, this incident has drawn public attention to Tibetan culture and made more people aware of the importance of beeswax in the lives of Tibetan people.
The main reasons for Tibetan women to wear beeswax are religious beliefs, collections, and health needs. This Xi represents the Tibetan people's devotion to religion, as well as their pursuit of wealth and the importance they attach to physical health. This incident has attracted widespread attention and discussion, and its impact on society is mainly to enhance the respect and awareness of Tibetan culture, and the role of tourism promotion cannot be ignored. However, in understanding and disseminating this cultural Xi, we should remain objective and rational, and respect and protect the cultural traditions of ethnic minorities.
