Features: Bon is an ancient primal religion that once flourished in Tibet, China, and is also the foundation of Tibetan traditional culture. As a cultural carrier, it contains the splendid ancient civilization of the Tibetan people in China, while also reflecting the intellectual and cultural essence of ancient civilizations from South Asia (India) and Central Asia (Persia/Iran). Bon culture has also radiated across vast regions in western China. In the Tibetan plateau, as well as in Shangri-La, Yunnan, and the Kangba grasslands of Sichuan, the ancient Bon culture is deeply embedded.
