The essence of Xiangxiong culture

Xiangxiong culture is called the basic culture of Tibet, and the traces of ancient Xiangxiong culture run through all aspects of Tibet. From production to life, from folk customs to beliefs, there is the shadow of Xiang Xiong culture everywhere. For example, religious activities such as offering sacrifices to mountain gods and climbing mountains all originated from Xiangxiong culture. Tibetan language originated from Xiangxiong script, and the Tibetan language was created by Tonmi Sambuza, the minister of Songtsan Gambu School, which can only be called the improvement of Xiangxiong script at most.

The religion and writing of Xiangxiong people profoundly influenced all aspects of Tubo and later Tibetan society. Today, many Tibetan customs and lifestyles have also been handed down from the Xiong Xiong era, such as turning to the sacred mountain, worshiping the sacred lake, inserting wind and horse flags, inserting colorful scriptures, carving stone scriptures, releasing Manidui, divination and fortune telling, all of which reflect the legacy of this religion forever.

"Ancient elephant hero Buddhism" is the essence of elephant hero culture. "dzogchen" is not only the main core of ancient Buddhism, but also the essence of all spiritual civilization and traditional culture in Tibet. It is the golden key to open the treasure house of Tibetan spiritual civilization and traditional culture, and it is also the civilized wisdom and practical essence accumulated by people who have lived in this magical land of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for generations. "Ancient elephant male Buddhism" is the essence of elephant male culture. The Tathagata Buddhism handed down from the ancient elephant male prince is called "the ancient elephant male Buddha Buddhism". It is necessary to do something about the ancient Xiangxiong culture.

Its "liveliness" can't be bypassed by an encyclopedia that reflects Xiangxiong civilization in a panoramic way-Xiangxiong Tripitaka. The Elephant Tripitaka is not a simple religious classic, but an encyclopedia covering philosophy, astronomy, geography, medicine, art, architecture and other fields, which reflects the ancient elephant civilization in a panoramic way and has rich historical and cultural value.

In fact, the Elephant Tripitaka is the origin and source of all history, religion and culture in Tibet, and it is an extremely precious material for studying ancient Tibetan civilization, and it is also an important field that no Tibetan cultural researcher can avoid.
