Tibet,
known as "roof of the world", has been a fundamental part of China
since ancient times. The Tibetan people living in this land are
an important part of the Chinese family composed of dozens of
nationalities. Since the establishment of the Tubo Kingdom in
the early 7th century, the Tibetan local authority has maintained
a close relationship with the central government. Historical events
such as Pincess Wencheg's marriage to Srong-btsan-sgan-po
are widely praised and well-preserved in records. Since the Yuan
dynasty, Tibet has been formally integrated into China. In the
Qing dynasty, the policy of the minister of Tibetan affairs being
permanently stationed in Tibet and practice of drawing lots from
the gold urn to confirm reincarnated soul boy were two examples
of systems established to further strengthen the relationship
between the central government and its subordinate, Tibet. Tibetan
Buddhism is renowned for its richness and depth. Buddhist images
and statues, paintings, sutras and ritual implements, all of which
are characteristic of Tibetan Buddhist art style.
