Features: Through the diligent efforts of many scholars in Chinese and Tibetan studies over the past decades, numerous specialized works, selected collections of historical materials, and monographs that systematically and comprehensively narrate the history of China, Tibetan history, and the relationship between the motherland and Tibet have been published in China. Therefore, this book does not focus on historical narration but rather on commentary, although it includes some essential historical facts that must be mentioned without providing a comprehensive and systematic account. In this book, main personal names, place names, and titles, as well as other proper nouns, are generally followed by Tibetan or English annotations in parentheses when they first appear in the main text, so that readers can immediately understand the Chinese, Tibetan, and English spellings of these terms.
