Abstract

The paper presents examples of residual material and spiritual culture of the Tibetan people, surviving in the areas that are today outside the Tibet Autonomous Region, in areas of Sichuan province and Qinghai. These are examples of Tibetan villages, for example Jiaju of Danba area and the area of Jiuzhaigou. The monastery of Kumbum (Ta'er Si), which plays a significant role in Tibetan Buddhism, is shown as example of cultural sacred sites. These objects survived in spite of the enormous devastations which were made during the Cultural Revolution and demonstrate the continuity of the Tibetan settlement in these lands. It also highlighted the preservation of traditions of folk (singing, dancing, costumes), which are very important in maintaining national identity.
