Research on the Han-Tibetan Cultural Exchanges in the gTo-srung Festival of dGu-sbyang Monastery
dGu-sbyang Monastery,the earliest and most illustrious Bon monastery within the Bailong River Ba-sin,was founded one of the"Three Saints"of Amdo.The cultural relics including canonical texts,ritual arti-facts,Buddhist statues,murals,and armaments preserved in the monastery contain the cultural practice of Han-Tibetan exchanges in historical times.This study,grounded in ethnographic fieldwork,posits that the gTo-srung,a communal event celebrated by monks,folk religious officiants,and laypeople,is a result of the folklori-zation and festivization of the gTo ritual of Bon religion.The festival embodies characteristics of village ceremo-nies and the Buddhist"vCham",alongside distinctive features of Han-Tibetan cultural amalgamation,the coex-istence of Buddhism and Bon,and the shared dance of monks and laity.The detailed explication of the spring calendar,lion dance,military dance,and other elements within the gTo-srung festival,are all influenced by Han culture.This study elucidates the historical process of Han-Tibetan cultural contact,interaction,and mutual learning through an examination of the specific content and rich cultural connotations.It further reveals the mechanisms of mutual influence and integration between Tibetan and Han cultures,aiming to provide local-ized practical support for strengthening the sense of community for the Chinese nation in the new era.
