As the place where Tibetan culture originates and flourishes, Xizang is home to a huge collection of Tibetan ancient books and documents, which are widely distributed in thousands of monasteries and private collectors.

The Xizang Autonomous Region has always attached great importance to the protection and inheritance of Tibetan culture, devoting major efforts to promoting the census and registration of ancient books and carrying out the protection and development of ancient books in a planned and scientific manner.
