ABSTRACT

The most glorious era in the history of Tibetan dance in ancient times was the Tubo period, which left many precious dance images with Tibetan colors. Although there has been some attention paid to Tibetan dance images in current scholarship, these images have focused on the theme of "Fantan pipa" or on Dunhuang murals as the main focus, and more Tibetan dance images have not received much attention. Such as Tibetan thangka art, palace murals or some dance posture in Tibetan religious ceremony. The construction of Tibetan dance iconology is essential because it can promote the study of Tibetan dance education and Tibetan dance historiography.
