Yak is the most distinctive animal on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, called Yake in Tibetan, commonly known as "yak" in the world, and penguins and polar bears are the only three remaining source animals on the earth. The yak has a history of more than three million years and has been circulated in the Culture of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for thousands of years, and is closely related to the people of the Plateau. Yaks have the characteristics of hardiness, hypoxia resistance, fatigue resistance, and resistance to ultraviolet radiation, and have become animals carrying plateau civilization. 95% of the world's yaks are distributed on the Tibetan Plateau, about 17 million heads. Yak is known as the "treasure of the plateau", in the long river of history, the yak not only survived on its own, but also helped the plateau people survive on this plateau, the plateau people are inseparable from it, so the plateau people said: "The whole body of the yak is a treasure." At present, the yak industry has now become a pillar industry and a rich people's industry for the development of animal husbandry on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Yak milk has the reputation of "liquid gold", and it is precisely because of the strong vitality that has survived through evolution for millions of years, the yak has gradually become a symbol of courage and strength in the hearts of the Tibetan people, and is enshrined as the protector of Tibetan areas, which can bless people with good health and prosperity in animal husbandry. The people of Gaoyuan made warm clothing from yak hair or yak skin to avoid the body and the cold, and made a sturdy tent to shield the wind and rain; Drink yak milk when you feel thirsty and hungry; Burn yak dung for warmth when you feel cold; When you get lost, ask the yak to be your guide. Yaks are the most important link in the highland ecosystem. Generations of Tibetan people have maintained a close and harmonious natural relationship with yaks.
