Features: This book is a preliminary study based on the decade-long archaeological survey of cultural relics in Tibet, focusing on ancient Tibetan artworks and historical sites. It categorizes the works into three major types: painting, architecture, and sculpture. By exploring the internal development and changes within each category, the book reveals the historical process of the emergence and evolution of artistic styles, further delving into the trajectory of their spiritual development. From 1990 to 1992, the author had the privilege of participating in Tibet's cultural relic survey, traveling across dozens of counties in northern and southern Tibet, investigating hundreds of temples, and spending extended periods working and living within them. Upon completing this book, "Archaeology of Tibetan Art," the author feels as though they have only stepped at the threshold of this subject, gazing into the vast and fertile landscape ahead.
