Features: The writing of the book "The Princely Families of Tibet (1900-1951)" is based on the author's collection of materials on Tibetan nobility. Regarding Tibetan history, experts and scholars from China and abroad have already offered insightful perspectives, which serve as the starting point for systematic and comparative research in Tibetan studies. As its title indicates, this book is not a history of Tibet as a whole, and the author is also well aware that he lacks the ability to complete a monograph on the history of Tibet. However, the lineage and daily life of the Tibetan noble families described and discussed in this book are not an isolated research topic for sociology, anthropology, or Tibetan studies. They are directly linked to the political system and economic system of Tibet before the 1950s.
