[Tibetan Shop, Tibetan Jewelry, Nepal and Tibetan Crafts, Tibetan Turquoise, Red Coral] Tibetan Culture and Art

Tibetan Culture and Art

 

Tibetan culture and art possess a history of more than 5,000 years, but the practice and depiction of Tibetan Buddhism has had by far the greatest influence on this culture. The development of Tibetan culture and art proceeded through four stages: prehistoric civilization before the 7th century; cultural stability during the Tubo Kingdom; high development during the Yuan Dynasty; and the height of cultural achievement attained during the Qing Dynasty.
 

The pre-historic stage includes all development from the ancient civilization that appeared during the New Stone Age some 5,000 years ago to the founding of the Tubo Kingdom in the 7th century. A salient feature of this civilization is the founding and development of the Bon, an animist religion. Findings from the ruins of the Karub New Stone Age Site in Qamdo and rock paintings found in Ngari, which have been dated from all periods from the late Old Stone Age to the Tubo Kingdom in the 7th century, all display a concentrated expression of the achievements of pre-historic civilization and reveal the budding of pre-historic art.
 

The Tubo Kingdom in the 7th century was an important period which witnessed the creation of Tibetan writing and the spread into Tibet of Buddhism from India and China's Tang Dynasty. Collusion and mutual assimilation of different cultures and arts constituted a major feature of this period. Cultural and artistic achievements made during this period of time include the Jokhang, Ramoche, Changzhug and Samye monasteries. These monasteries are a combination of architecture, paintings and sculptures, the styles of which were disseminated in accordance with the world model of Buddhism. The major architectural features of these monasteries were built using a style unique to Tibet, and also incorporating influences from India and the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty. A unique culture was thus created and firmly planted in the soil of Tibet.
 

During the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), the culture and art of Tibetan Buddhism developed rapidly. Tibet's first encyclopedia-like catalogue on Gangyur and Dangyur of Tibetan Tripitaka was compiled; Buddhist masters who played key roles in the development of Tibetan culture and art, including Sagya Pandit Gonggar Gyaincain, Purdain Rinqenzhub and Zongkapa, emerged. Works of historical significance created during this period of time include the History on Buddhism by Purdain, the Green Annals, the Red Annals, the New Red Annals and the Records on Five Sutras in Tibet. There was an exuberance of literary works, including mottos, philosophic poems, fables and stories. Classics created during that period of time include Philosophic Poems of Milha Riba and Mottos of Sagya, which were very popular amongst the people of Tibet. Astronomy and calendar making experienced progress, with the Tibetan Epoch founded in 1027. Tibetan medicine branched out into the South and North schools. Architecture, painting and sculpture became increasingly perfected. Architectural works of importance created during this period of time include the Guge Kingdom city and the Sagye, Toding, Xalhu, Natang and Palkor monasteries. Major art schools include the Mentang and Garma Gagzhi Painting Schools, and the Mentang New Painting School. These painting schools, famous for their salient features and artistic style, exerted a deep influence on the creation of Buddhist art in the Central Plains. Beijing and Hangzhou emerged as the two Tibetan Buddhist art centers of China during the Yuan and Ming dynasties (1271-1644). Use of block making and printing technologies during the Yuan Dynasty injected fresh blood into the propagation of Tibetan Buddhist culture and art.

[tibetan pavilion] Housing in Tibet

Housing in Tibet

 

Houses have a long history in Tibet, with ruins of Tibetan houses discovered at 4000-year-old Karub New Stone Age archaeological sites. Today, Tibet possesses various styles of dwellings, including blockhouses in southern Tibet, tents in the pastoral areas of northern Tibet, wooden houses in the wooded areas of the Yarlung Zangbo River Valley, and cave dwellings on Nagri Plateau.
 

Blockhouses are the most common kind of civilian housing in Tibet. Built mostly of stone and wood ,they feature traditional architectural styles. Those built against a hill still have vertical inner walls. Blockhouses are generally of two storys: The first floor is comparatively low, used to serve as a shelter for domestic animals and a warehouse; the second floor is composed of spacious living rooms, a sitting room, a kitchen and a storehouse. There are also some with a third floor, which is used as the family sutra hall and the balcony. Blockhouses are solid and wind-proof and can be used to resist gangsters.
 

Tents adopted by herdsmen are generally low and small in size, and square or rectangular in shape. Wooden bars are used to form the two-meter-high framework, which is covered with black yak felt. In the middle of the roof is the 15 cm wide and 1.5 meter long skylight. The whole structure is fastened to the ground with yak hair ropes. Inside the tent is a 50-cm wall made of adobe bricks or rocks, upon which is stored highland barley, bags of butter and the dried oxen dung used for fuel. All tent housing is furnished with a stove in the center, behind which stands the statue of Buddha. The floor is covered with sheep hide to allow the whole family to sit around the stove. Such housing demonstrates great flexibility and mobility, as the tents can be built and dismantled quickly. Housing in Tibet
