中国是一个统一的多民族国家,在长期的历史发展过程中,各民族都创造了本民族优秀文化,并在此基础上共同缔造了统一的中华文化,为世界文明做出了重要贡献。西藏传统文化是中华文化中的一颗璀璨明珠。西藏传统文化源远流长,丰富多彩,既有雄伟壮丽的建筑艺术,又有神奇的藏医藏药、神秘的宗教文化等,以及具有强烈民族和地域特色的民俗文化,西藏优秀传统文化既是中国人民的宝贵财富,也是世界人民的共同财富。

 

China is a unified multiethnic country, where every ethnic group is free to pursue their traditions and culture, and it is this integration of diversity that gives birth to the colorful Chinese civilization. Tibetan culture has a long history, represented by a large number of imposing ancient spiritual structures, medical science, Tibetan Buddhism and folk customs. This culture is a treasure not only to the Chinese nation, but also the entire world.

 

中国政府历来十分关心和高度重视西藏文化的保护和发展,特别是改革开放以来的近30年,投入了大量人力、物力、财力,采取各种措施,为保护和发展西藏文化进行了不懈的努力。广泛开展文物普查,对民间文化开展大规模的收集和整理,使许多濒临失传的文化遗产得到了抢救和发掘;对布达拉宫、大昭寺、桑耶寺等进行了大规模的维修,布达拉宫、大昭寺、罗布林卡等被联合国教科文组织列入世界文化遗产名录;培养了大批从事文化保护和发展工作的专业人才,建立了门类比较齐全的教育基地和研究机构;制定并实施了文物保护法等一批文化保护和发展的法律法规。现在,布达拉宫第二期维修工程、罗布林卡、萨迦寺的维修工作正在紧张实施。

 

The Chinese Government has always attached great importance to the preservation and development of Tibetan culture. In the past three decades, huge manpower and financial and material resources were invested for this purpose. Extensive surveys of local cultural relics, literature and performance arts have rescued many valuable, often priceless, buildings, relics and artifacts, some on the verge of being lost forever. Renovation of the Potala Palace, Jokhang Monastery and Sangye Monastery proved a big success. As a result of the successful bid for the World Heritage Site status by the Potala Palace, Jokhang Monastery and Norbu Lingka, the recognition of Tibetan culture continues to grow overseas. To date, Tibet has established a complete educational and academic research system with a high-caliber professional contingent in residence. The formulation and implementation of a series of cultural protection regulations lay a solid foundation for Tibetans to carry forward their preservation work and provide guidelines for the ongoing second-phase renovation of the Potala Palace and the facelift of Norbu Lingka and Sakya Monastery.
