Features: "A Collection of Rare Materials on Tibetan Society in Kangding" is a sister volume to "A Collection of Qing and Republican Era Materials on Tibetan Society in Kangding" and "A Collection of Historical Survey Materials on Tibetan Society in Kangding." Together, these three books form the "A Collection of Historical Materials on Tibetan Society in Kangding." "A Collection of Rare Materials on Tibetan Society in Kangding" primarily includes manuscripts, copies, or materials rarely found in the market. Due to their limited quantity and varying lengths, they are difficult to categorize by content and are arranged in chronological order. This collection gathers 13 types of materials, including 6 manuscripts, which are "A Record of the Reorganization of Tibet," "Dawu Official Documents," "Suggestions for Governing Kangding," "A Historical Account of Changdu," "Archives of the 24th Army's General Staff Concerning Transportation in Kangding," and "A Survey of the Yushu Region," accounting for about 50% of the collection. It can be said that, apart from historical archives held by local governments in various parts of Kangding and important materials such as "Zhao Erfeng's Chuanbian Memorial Documents" and "Historical Materials on Qinghai-Tibet Border Affairs," the "A Collection of Historical Materials on Tibetan Society in Kangding" gathers all the materials that can currently be found in society. The remaining task is how to effectively utilize these materials and give full play to their positive role.
