闲话糌粑

说到糌粑,先要说说青稞。关于青稞,笔者有一个意外的发现,这种青藏高原上特有的农作物,是"随同藏族跨省区分布"的,而在非藏族的区域,就很少见到这种农作物。同样是这种情况的,还有牦牛和藏马。这种人与自

藏医

藏医药学是一门古老的医学科学,它是藏族先民们在漫长的历史长河中,不断与自然界和各种疾病进行斗争的经验总结。藏医学在发展中充分开发和利用高原独有自然条件和药物资源的同时,还借鉴地吸收了兄弟民族以及周边国家（东亚各国）医药学的精华,博采众家之长,通过不断研究总结、反复实践,逐步提高,从而形成的一门传统医学,具有鲜明的民族特色和高原特色。藏医学不仅历史悠久,理论完整,内容丰富。在现代医学高度发达的今天,藏医学在某些疾病的治疗方面都还有着其独特的方法和显著的疗效,在某些治疗领域尚没有理想的替代方法。藏医学的临床价值,历史价值和学术价值等也越来越多地被人们了解和认知。今天,藏医学已和中医学、古印度医学和西方传统医学并称为世界四大传统医学。

Tibetan Woodcarving

Keeping Abreast with Religious Advancement
The chapel in the Tashilhunpo Monastery for the stupa of the 10th Panchen Lama was built in 1993. I found the woodcarving art was my newly discovered complex art. When and where from does Tibetan woodcarving originates？ I have not yet to make any conclusions from all my research. Notwithstanding, academic circles generally conclude that the origin and advancement of Tibetan woodcarving art was keeping abreast with the dissemination and development of Buddhism in Tibet. That is to say woodcarving was included when Songtsen Gampo built the Tubo Kingdom in the 7^th Century.     

敦煌吐蕃文书中的藏族古代沐浴和药浴文化

2018年11月,藏医药浴法被联合国列入人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录。随着这一消息,藏医药浴走进公众视野,被国内外所熟知。在西藏范围内,藏医药浴认知度、普及度颇高,但是对于它的前世脉络,人们却知之甚少。刘英华是中国藏学研究中心北京藏医院特聘专家、副研究员,通晓古藏文,研究藏医药学已有20年,2007年至2017年10次赴印度、6次赴尼泊尔学习梵文和梵文医典《八支心要集》。     

拉萨的藏式家具市场

獒之惑

高原上的藏狗被人赞美的首要理由是它的忠诚。因为这符合人类社会普遍看重的道德标准。但人们从来没有意识到,这是一个十足自私和主观的标准,是一个单方面的道德约定。这个约定完全忽略了另一方的天性所赋予的原则。在人的观念中,“忠贞”的前提是“

曼唐,传承千年藏医智慧

藏医对于疫病的认识与现代医学的细菌病毒理论虽然大相径庭,但是却反映出在这片辽远空寂的高原上,人们集群而居思想激荡所产生的丰富润厚的文化——人们仰止高山,俯拜激流,尊养生灵,膜拜祖先,保持对自然的敬畏,倾心感激日常所得。那是二月的一个早上,我们坐在藏医院的一间空房间里,和煦的阳光从窗外洒进来,西藏仍然是那一例病例。     

西藏铸币史话(上)

雅鲁藏布江南部的雅隆河谷,公元7世纪初兴起了雅隆王朝（即吐蕃王朝）。公元629年西藏吐蕃政治家、军事家松赞干布统一了西藏,定都（逻娑luosuo）拉萨,建立了统一的奴隶制吐蕃王朝。并同唐朝建立起密切的关系。公元641年松赞干布迎娶大唐公主文成入藏和亲,使藏汉民族的关系以及西藏经济文化的发展,都产生了深远的影响。
