ABSTRACT

The painted Thangka art in Khampa region refers to the art style of scroll Buddha paintings popular in Sichuan Ganzi, Tibet Changdu, Yunnan Diqing and other places. In the long process of development over the centuries, this style has calmly maintained the traditional aesthetics of Tibetan Buddhism and absorbed a lot of cultural factors in many Han areas, thus forming a unique Thangka art style. Up to now, these ancient works of art have provided important material information for us to understand the history, politics, religion, culture and other fields of the Tibetan people in the Khampa region and exchanges with the Han culture. At the same time, these Thangka works bear the belief and aesthetic function of the Tibetan people. This paper reveals the catalytic effect of Han culture in the development of Thangka art in the Khampa region, and highlights the aesthetic educational significance of this Thangka art school.
