In summer season, farmers will wear the left sleeve of their quba and they like to casually drape the right sleeve over their shoulder. If the temperature is very high, farmers will fasten both their sleeves around their waist. At night, when the temperature is very high, farmers would like to put on two sleeves. Besides, Tibetan farmers would like to put on their sleeves when they meet distinguished guests or worship Buddha in temples, in this way to show respect.
