About Tibet xizang

tibetan name sources

Chinese in the “Tibet” (tibetan for the bod ljong) The term refers to the Tibet xizang Autonomous Regional People’s Republic of China (the tibetan language for the bod rang skyong ljong), referred to as Tibet xizang xizang.

“Tibet,” the origins of the word, not only the community, or even to study tibetan studies scholars, can not explain more clearly. In today’s some argument, there are still many problems in it. This is because the history of tibetan, Chinese, Mongolian, Manchu language on the part of the Qinghai-Tibet xizang Plateau and the geographical name of the tibetan people said there had been several changes, and these names on the history and impact of cross-cutting, making the date Tibet xizang and the tibetan people and the meaning of the titles there are still more complicated situation.

        Tibet: official naming-name. Tang and Song Dynasties for the Tubo; yuan is Xuanzheng Centre; said that Wu Si possession, for all Division; Wei said of the early Qing Dynasty, namely Qiancang Guardian, that is, possession after possession; after officially called Tibet, the tibetan name for the start - Minister for work in Tibet; early in Tibet; after the founding of the PRC, after changed the Tibet xizang Autonomous Region, the name has remained unchanged.

[7] origin century, the rise of Tubo Dynasty, the most unified of the Qinghai-Tibet xizang Plateau, the Tang Dynasty Chinese classics “Tubo” to refer to Tubo Dynasty, but also that of the Tubo Dynasty some regions, sometimes refers to the Tubo Dynasty tribes As family said.

(1) “tibetan” of dubious origin and the meaning of the term so far in the academic community have a different interpretation, or that derived from the tibetan language, or that derived from Tuyuhun language, or that derived from Turkic language, or that originated from the southern Chinese The cold alopecia’s name is still difficult to draw conclusions (2) However excavated from the Dunhuang tibetan and Chinese control the terms of instruments, at least in the medium term after the Tubo Dynasty, “Tubo” seems to be the tibetan language in the Tubo Dynasty claimed the bod The corresponding word, who is the bod. In fact, bod as the geographical and tribal name, in the Tubo Dynasty prior to the emergence of the original may be the Master of Benjiao the call, later became the Benjiao the call, then later became the name of some tribal alliance, after another These tribes live in a geographical name. tibetan historical records that before the Tubo Dynasty, there were 12 kinds ruled by tribal groups, including two bod khams is used to refer to its geographical rule (3) the rise after the Tubo Dynasty, as claimed by bod, and Tang’s exchanges, the Tubo Dynasty to bod chen po (big fan) corresponds to the Tang dynasty a “Datang” (4) As the Tubo Dynasty unified the Qinghai-Tibet xizang Plateau, the plateau in various tribal groups for the formation of a nation, and later, Tubo Dynasty claimed bod evolved into tibetan claimed. 

Although the Tubo Dynasty external to the area which they occupy in the total referred to as “tibetan” and “big fan”, but in its internal differences between the various regions, the other a study by name. Tubo Dynasty will be the first of its headquarters is divided into four “Ru (ru)”, including the Tibet xizang Autonomous Region today in the Yarlung Zangbo River, Lhasa River, Nianchu He, Yalong River, has been a history of the Tibet xizang Autonomous Region in the most developed economic areas . In the habit of getting on the Yalong river valley is the Tubo Dynasty royal Fat Tseung, Lhasa is the capital of the Tubo Dynasty, which it said Lhasa River and Yalong River “Wuru dbu ru” and “about RU gyo ru” for the “Guardian” (Dbus), intended as the center of the basin and its Nianchu He will be north of the west “Yeru gyas ru”, “RU pull ru lag” collectively, the “possession” (gtsang), intended for the upper reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River north-south cross-strait region. “Guardian” and “possession” collectively, the “Guardian of dbus gtsang”, namely that the Tubo Dynasty regional headquarters. Later Tubo Dynasty conquered the northern part of the Qinghai-Tibet xizang Plateau, the eastern, known as the “multi-kang” (mdo khams), “and more” (mdo) intended for the junction, the valley mouth, “kang” (khams) intended for the region, the “multi - Kang, “intended for the development of the Tubo Dynasty outward channels and base, while some outlying areas of Italy. With the Tubo Dynasty to the northeast of force expansion, “Dokan” gradually expanding the scope, but again the upper reaches of the Yellow River to the Huangshui River Valley area known as “Ma Si Duo” (mdo smad), that is, “more health” of the region The lower part, because the region contains Animaqing Hill (A myes rma chen) and Dora Wo Hui Shan (mdo la ring bo small Jishi Shan), is also known as “An” (A mdo) region. “Dokan” the rest of the apparent “more health” of the name, later said that the “Kang District” (khams). “Dunhuang tibetan history of this instrument” in the Tubo Dynasty to send Secretary of State presided over the three-regional military and political leader of the AU will be held records in the case, because of the Tubo Dynasty administrative divisions, to the latter part of the Tubo Dynasty, and even after the collapse of the Tubo Dynasty Qinghai-Tibet xizang Plateau the nearly 400 years of separatist period, the residents of the Qinghai-Tibet xizang Plateau, the Qinghai-Tibet xizang Plateau into habit “of the four-ru-dbus gtsang ru bzhi”, “Dokan mdo khams”, “Ma Si Duo mdo smad” such as the three most . 

[Yuan Dynasty - the Yuan Dynasty unified tibetan areas, supporting the establishment of local government allocation Sakya, the Qinghai-Tibet xizang Plateau in the Yuan Dynasty established a series of military and political institutions. Open early Yuan Dynasty in the river, the establishment of tibetan Xuanwei Si, as the management of the entire tibetan region of the body, Pagba in 1272 to 1274, also living in the river for more than two years. Later jurisdiction because the ground too much, and in Kang district to set up a Xuan Weisi, to Pagba passed away in 1280 after the Yuan Dynasty to the needs of policy, and in-possession to set up a Xuanwei Si. In this way, the medium-term to the Yuan Dynasty, the entire Qinghai-Tibet xizang Plateau was divided into three administrative regions: first, “Ma Si Duo”, a tibetan, etc. Xuanwei to have Secretary Marshal House (also known as the duo Ma Xuanwei Si Si), this jurisdiction Most of Qinghai Province, Gansu Province and the southern area of Aba in Sichuan Province; First “Gansi Duo”, that is, when the Tubo Dynasty, “and more health”, a tibetan, and so the Secretary for all road Xuanwei Marshal House (also known as the duo announced Gansi Comfort to Division), the jurisdiction of this Yushu in Qinghai Province, Garze of Sichuan Province, Yunnan Province and Qamdo Diqing Tibet xizang Autonomous Region and the Nagqu area in the east; third is Ali-possession, possession for Wu Si-speed guru, is satisfied that the three-way Xuanwei Secretary for all so that Marshal House (also known as Wu Si possession Xuanwei Si), Wu Si possession of jurisdiction (that is, when the Tubo Dynasty, “Guardian of the four-ru”) and the west of Ali, that is, this regional jurisdiction of the Tibet xizang Autonomous Region Department. Collectively, the Yuan dynasty in the tibetan region as “tibetan”, referred to tibetan areas in various parts of the commonly used “duo Ma Si,” “Duo Gansi”, “Wu Si possession” and other names. Since the Yuan Dynasty tibetan region has been classified as “Western Regions” the scope of the Yuan Dynasty general term for all ethnic groups in the Western Regions Xifan (or writing Xifan), the tibetan be seen as one of Xifan, so sometimes Xi said the tibetan region as “the West Fan, “and sometimes different for” Xifan “This is the first time in the place names in tibetan called the” Fan “with the word that position in front of the” West “. This informal “Tubo” to change “Xifan,” “Xifan,” Later, there is “Tibet” is the first step, but “Tibet” is not from “Xifan” or “Xifan” To the evolution.

[Ming Ming on the tibetan region - basically inherited the Yuan dynasty the old system. But because of the thought that after the duo Ma Tei area tibetan, Mongolian, Han, Hui, and other miscellaneous group, the Ming dynasty established in Xining, River state, the state Tao, Wei Min Zhou, and other jurisdictions, it said that with the Xining-Wei, Wei River, and so on, not Reuse “duo Ma Si” as a Chinese region name, because the area adjacent to Qinghai Lake, the study also known as the “Yellow Sea.” “Gansi Duo”, a duo Gan Wei Ming dynasty. Wu Si Yuan Dynasty to the satisfaction of speed in the three-Gulu road Xuanwei Secretary to the area are Marshal House, the Ming dynasty is divided into Ushuaia (Si) possession Douzhihuishi Division and the Russian people think of Marshal of the House. Common in the literature of the Ming Dynasty, “possession of large-Ushuaia King”, “Ushuaia possession illustrates the King”, visible in the literature of the Ming Dynasty, “Ushuaia possession” is a clear scope of the geographical name.
After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia, Qinghai forces re-entry, Anda Khan III, to greet the Dalai Lama, Sonam Gyatso of Qinghai Lake to the meeting, the son of bin rabbit prepared in Qinghai Lake Shore Jiansi, the Ming dynasty in the discussion whether or not to agree with Anda Khan Jiansi greet the Buddha, Bingbu Ji Shizhong CAI Ru-yin in the memorials, he said: “covered promised Jiansi, all the way in Tibet, freedom of movement, listening to the Fengfo, North and South Zhu Fan, a traffic ban.” ( “Record Shenzong that North Korea” Wanli Jiaxu April 2003, Volume 37) (5) This is the first Chinese historical data to see “Tibet”, but the whole context of justice, “Wang Shunyi Andajiansi west coast of the amount requested to Temple, Ci Ming Yang, “and” Krupp westbound to Wang Ying-Anda Buddha, begging the three-town official oath about conversations, picked to remain leader of governance ban all razed, to pay tribute City, and Begging-Gansu, and Xining opened Maicha. Duchen to hear. Bingbushangshu WANG Chong-old statement: this-year-old Chunchuanda to send the send-Hill, which claims Zhisun sets Emirates flies to cut Taiwan’s Huang, Ying Feng went to the West Sea Living Buddha. Jiuwen Hill sets Qiu years抢savages, not in Dezhi, to carry all the West Anda assistance, in order to retaliate. “(6) Guzhi here to the” Tibet xizang “, should be” West Sea “error . And “Tibet” in the Ming Dynasty Chinese literature also only see this one, so it was with the word “Tibet” There is no relationship, can not be seen as “Tibet” appeared as early as examples of the Ming Dynasty. 

[The late Ming and early Qing Dynasty - the late Ming and early Qing Wei Late Gushi Khan, the Mongolian Joint Gelug Sect of tibetan Buddhism rule of the Qinghai-Tibet xizang Plateau, the rise of the Qing Dynasty, through Gushi Khan and the establishment of relations between the tibetan region. Mongolian soil for the tibetan Burt said, adding more security along the ancient tibetan Tang for the special (from the era of Genghis Khan in Mongolia since the Wu Tang said that for the Western Xia). Said the early Qing Dynasty tibetan literature as “white listeriosis map” or “Ancient Tang special”, the Qing Emperor Shunzhi, said Khan of Pakistan as “white map of listeriosis tribal Khan, Pakistan,” said the Dalai Lama as “the Dalai Lama plans white tribal listeriosis “Here the” white listeriosis map “that originated from the Mongolian” Robert soil “and the Mongolian” Robert soil, “also from” Tubo, “that is, from the tibetan claimed bod. To the Kangxi Emperor, Qing Dynasty and the tibetan region to further deepen the relationship, the Qing dynasty gradually learned that the tibetan areas in various parts of the political, social, ethnic and there exist many differences, not all parts of the same name. In addition to using “white listeriosis map” collectively referred to tibetan areas, the Qing dynasty will be the Dalai Lama, the Panchen Lama’s residence to follow the habit of tibetan known as the “Wu Si possession”, “Wei possession” and later by the “Guardian of possession” For the evolution of the word “Tibet xizang xizang.”

[Documented] “-Record”, “Tibet” first appeared in the 2002 Emperor Kangxi (1663) August Bingshen of: “Tibet’s Panchen Lama, Hu Ke soil map it, Qianguanzhiji.” Kangxi 2006 (1667) in October Bingshen of another: “Shanxi and Shaanxi Governor Lu Shu Chongjun statement: ‘The poor have a year to return to Tibet xizang Lama said: Biography of the Dalai Lama, Taiwan and Kyrgyzstan Zunzhi Shanghai has not allowed to cause trouble. ‘ “(7) but at this time of” Tibet xizang “has not yet become a fixed geographical names, the Qing dynasty instruments in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Dalai Lama, still with different titles. Kangxi 33 years (1694), Basang Gyatso has passed away many years with the Dalai Lama’s name played V, the first request for closure Basang Gyatso is the King, Emperor Kangxi that is, Basang Gyatso for “Palm-Watt Chek assassination DA La Buddhism the Dalai Lama, the Hong Xuan Wang.” “Record-” 35 years of Emperor Kangxi (1696) June Guichou of Emperor Kangxi in the Order of the Minister Suoe Tu Chuan Yu Dalai Lama, and other people and other carotenoid Zang Pa Keba Gelong said: ” Pakistan original section of the Dalai Lama under other affairs, I Zhuochun the gifted, called soil Robert King. Nai Yang Bong Tsongkhapa’s Road, overcast and Gaer Dan ratio, bully the Dalai Lama, the Panchen Lama and the bad in Caledonia Pakistan’s law. “In August 1894 of the Emperor Kangxi to the first Basang Gyatso Chi Yu said:” Pakistan Seoul, the first under the Dalai Lama, former Secretary of the matter, because Dole does not breach the Dalai Lama Words, auxiliary Road, I was gifted closure of King Robert Dole for the soil. Seoul this concept, Yang Feng of the Tsongkhapa, overcast with the peer than Gaer Dan, bully the Dalai Lama, the Panchen Lama, Hu Ke soil Map, and the bad of Tsongkhapa “he said.” Record-”Kangxi 36 years (1697) March Gengchen of Emperor Kangxi and in the first Basang Gyatso to the Chi Yu said: “···· Zier played the statement: ‘His Majesty awarded under the strict purpose, heart even fear, but this compliance Sheng Yu-chin, with the power to serve, if Zhen read the Dalai Lama, begging cooling-lun. Zhun cut Zouqing. Cheng Seoul Jizhi with a crime, I would not read the Dalai Lama-to repair at the calendar Younian by between «and if I increase-shirt, Robert Dole soil of their country Qide Health ye!” Here, Emperor Kangxi Repeatedly said Tibet xizang as a “soil Robert”, but in the meantime, officials of the Qing Dynasty and Tibet, also known as the instrument for Wu Si possession, such as “Record-” 35 years of Emperor Kangxi of the September Guihai said: “The rationale Fan proposed rehabilitation hospital: ‘Sichuan Yang Zhi-Xun Fu Shu in the statement: Wu Si-chen Zunzhi in tibetan lamas and other official business survey Dajian Lu boundaries, is self-evident quarter so far, the original jurisdiction of the Department of the Chieftain, to the territory. But savages Health of the people who tea, the Habitat Office in a long time, and the Dalai Lama has Qizou, Huang En-line, should still make trade. ‘Barbarian Renzhi Shi should read the Dalai Lama, Xiao Yu to comply with official business management.

Guimou this head of dollars, to buy Zhu possession barbarian troops will remain Members of the system resource that is sent with the possession of savages “he said.” Record-”Kangxi 39 years (1700) in March 1900 of the Qing Dynasty Xingbu Amun that played:” check-in the custody of the Minister of the border, private Yima in possession will be allocated to feed the people gifts. “And in July the same year of Emperor Kangxi in 1900 and the University of disabilities, and other people talk about the Junggar Alabutan strategy to jump when the movement said:” I Xunxing of Mongolia To many, everything I are familiar with. Strategy to jump Elabutan Although cunning people, but by Robert Boluotala to soil, such as Halawusu go through the difficulties and dangers, the path very evil, and can not to attack. “Foreseeable During this period, from top to bottom of the Qing Dynasty in Tibet xizang there are still a variety of titles, said Robert soil, also said that Wu Si possession, and Sichuan local officials will Wusi possession referred to as “possession”, “tibetan” And “possession of savages,” and “in possession” and other titles have begun to appear.

But at least to “clear record” Kangxi 1959 (1709) New Year Jihai, appeared several times on the “Tibet”, said: “First, Hu will pull Zang Li Bo Keta Seoul Khan for the Dalai Lama, Qinghai Taiwan and Kyrgyzstan, and other people did not identify actual situation, controversy Jie played each other, on the fate of the cabinet are muddy seladang rate of Taiwan people in Qinghai Jusco make the Fuxi Cang look at post-mortem.

Its management of the affairs of Tibet xizang to Shi Lang He TING, ‘ “1710 (Kangxi Sishijiunian) March Wu Yin, said:” Minister of representative government, such as that : ‘Pull Panchen Lama, tibetan and Hu Ke soil maps, all the tibetan Lama Temple, in management of tibetan affairs Shi Lang He TING, Hu will Shuqingbanci Bo Keta Seoul Khan to the Dalai Lama’s titles. Boke Ta Hu investigation Seoul Khan due to be young, Fengzhi once a few years after the awarding letters, Jinji familiar classics, and for the Qinghai Zhuzhong by weight, as should the invitation of giving India, the Dalai Lama called VI. ‘From the. “(8) This is the procedure when the Qing Jun repeated use of” Tibet xizang “in the case. 1721 Qingjun harassment of Tibet’s expulsion of the Junggar Army, the Emperor Kang Xi essays, “Royal inscription system pacification of Tibet”, including “gentle yuan in mind, Li Shi Tibet,” the phrase, which formally to the Lhasa-based Tibet xizang region named “Tibet” (9). 

[It] test why the Qing Dynasty adopted the “white Intuit plans,” “Robert soil”, “Wu Si possession”, “Wei-possession” after the words, a “Tibet” to refer to the “Guardian of” areas, yet so far See in-depth study. “Figure White listeriosis” when generic names for the Qinghai-Tibet xizang Plateau, is not suitable for possession of the means-region, “Wei-possession” of the “Guardian”, and military and political institutions in the Ming and Qing Dynasties era, “Wei, by” the “Guardian “The same word, and should not be used as an area of expertise. Emperor Kangxi also had the “Guardian of” the “Guardian” misunderstanding “Yugong,” said the “three-risk” of “danger,” he once said: “Yugong ‘I. Heishui, as the three-risk’ , The old note to the three mountains of adversity to, and not know where. I only test this fact. III danger, the three provinces in China are still ringing. Dajian Lu southwest, the Dalai Lama belong to adversity, Larry southeast of the city for Caledonia Wood, the Panchen Erdeni in their possession for. Of the three places, for the three-risk ears. “(10) probably was Emperor Kangxi also found that this is wrong, it no longer insist. Emperor Kangxi of the Tibet xizang region has also directly referred to as “the West”, in the 35 years of Emperor Kangxi (1696) received Qingjun from the envoy there Gaer Dan intercepted Gaer Dan wrote the Dalai Lama, Tibet, Pakistan Sangjie Gyatso, Lamu law enforcement, is poor law enforcement, and other people’s letters, letters Emperor Kangxi in the beginning of the Zhupi “Gaer Dan manuscript to the West to 14″ archive (11). “Record-” records, Emperor Kangxi Sishiyinian (1702) October Ding Wei and Emperor Kangxi in the University of disabilities, and other people talk added: “The state falling into Chengping, Wubei not less flip on the 1st. To the West For those for a strong military, the South is not, in itself aging, children and filling, so cowardly to the public. “Emperor Kangxi of the visible Tibet, the tibetan region of Sichuan, known as” the West. ” The tibetan “-possession” of the “Guardian” and the word with the full text of the “West, the West” (wargi) similar to the pronunciation of the word, and also in-possession in the southwest part of China, it might be “Wei Possession “in the Manchu in the first translated into” wargi Dzang “,” possession of the West “, and then translated into Chinese from the Manchu, that is now commonly used for” Tibet xizang “. This investigation, “Man-Han Dictionary”, “Tibet” is the full text of wargi ts’ang, “West City” is the full text of wargi hecen, which means “west of the city”; “Western Regions” The full text is wargi ba, which means “west of the place” (12).Central Nationalities University’s History Department Professor Wang Zhonghan will help “clear record” Sishijiunian Kangxi (1710) in March Wu Yin, “a purpose: ‘In that: Latin America and the Panchen Lama, tibetan Hu Ke soil map, tibetan Lama Temple all, contract management tibetan affairs Shi Lang He shou ‘ “section of the Manchu found out that here the full text:
suwayan tasha inenggi hebai gisurehengge ladzang jai bancan hutuktu wargi dzang ni geren miyao lamasa wargi dzang ni baita be kadalame icihiyara ashan amban heseo emgi acafi wesimbuhe bade…… seme wesimbuhede yabubuha:

Tibet xizang mentioned here twice used by the Manchu phrases are wargi dzang, that is, “west of possession.” This speculation is the Manchurian Qing Jun of the “Wu Si possession” as “the possession of the west” and called it “wargi dzang”, translated into Chinese, translated as “Tibet”, so as a Chinese “Tibet” This geographical terms, this may be a more reasonable explanation.

To the early years of Yongzheng, with the pacification of Mongolia carotenoid Qinghai-tibetan Dan Rebellion, the Qing dynasty direct rule of the entire Qinghai-Tibet xizang Plateau. 1726-1728, the Qing Dynasty sent Sichuan Tidu Zhou Ying, the imperial clan-E, first degree courses such as demarcation of Tibet xizang and Qinghai Chakan, Sichuan, Yunnan’s boundaries. At that time, identified 40 people to the Yushu in Qinghai, people under 39 northern Tibet xizang Tibet, Qinghai and Tibet xizang to Tanggulashan for the sector; Sichuan and Tibet xizang to the quiet mountain community, the quiet mountain west of Tibet, the quiet mountain east of Sichuan, the Diqing Austin is in Yunnan. Later, as “Tibet” is also available in the scope of some small changes, but largely to Yongzhengnianjian division as a basis.

However, despite the late Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, Chinese instruments in the extensive use of “Tibet”, but does not seem to have been formally identified uniform. Yongzheng 2009 (1731) Emperor Yongzheng Nai-seal rather, he is still closed for “health for tibetan affairs more Luobei Le-long”, issued by the Bank of India, India is the “Guardian for possession of more than Luobei Le Long Service Of India. ” The Qianlong Emperor in 1757 VII Dalai Lama passed away after the appointment, by Mu Hutuketu for Regency, in the new age of the Dalai Lama, the Dalai Lama, former Deputy terms of reference, given the first MU Hutuketu “management of tibetan affairs fortune Huang Mao Teaching classes Dannuo door Khan of India, “the text printed on the full text of” Tibet xizang “only” dzang “word counterparts, can be seen at the end of Qianlong, the” Tibet xizang “can have” dzang ” A word to short. For private writings, there are still accounts of Tibet’s book called “Guardian of” names, such as the famous Emperor Qianlong of the late minister and Lam in Tibet xizang compiled by the “Guardian of Tongzhi.” But after the Chinese Emperor Qianlong in the history books, “Tibet” has become a common fixed term, “Wu Si possession”, “Wei possession,” the name is no longer in use. 

Since the Qing Dynasty “-possession” area known as the “Tibet” and “possession” has become “Wu Si possession”, “Wei-possession”, “Tibet” in the name of the main characters, “possession” Nianchu He is originally from the watershed and The upper reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River for both sides of the names into the whole, “Wei-possession” of the acronym, after then have to Lhasa, Shannan area as “Qiancang” to Xigaze, Gyangze region for “possession” Xi said. And the formulation of the term, but also other Chinese of all ethnic groups on the Qinghai-Tibet xizang Plateau and its residents call the result a greater impact, because in the Republic of China again, “the tibetan” instead of “tibetan”, “Xifan,” “savages Family “title, a Chinese national on the Qinghai-Tibet xizang Plateau Native group said. Therefore, their language is called “tibetan”, text referred to as “the tibetan language,” they believe in Buddhism, also known as “tibetan Buddhism.” We can imagine, if not the Qing Dynasty “Tibet” instead of “Wu Si possession”, “Guardian of” the call, the Tibetans should be used “Tubo,” “Xifan,” “White Intuit plans,” “soil Burt” The call, in the Republic of China could be called “Fan Family,” “soil Burt family,” then, today’s Tibet xizang Autonomous Region in accordance with the general principle of naming, it might be called the “Wu Si-fan ethnic tibetan Autonomous Region” or “Wei-fan ethnic tibetan Autonomous Region”, “Wu Si soil Robert ethnic tibetan Autonomous Region.”

After the founding of People’s Republic of China, in 1965 the formal establishment of the Tibet xizang Autonomous Region, Tibet xizang Autonomous Region of Tibet xizang become a term that is short of words referred to as “possession.”

 English “Tibet” word may originate from the Mongols and the Turks said the tibetan “Robert soil,” the Arabs in the Yuan Dynasty introduced to the West, that is, from the tibetan claimed bod. In the national title on, Tibet xizang corresponding to the “tibetan”, but on a geographical description, Tibet xizang sometimes corresponds to the “Tibet”, sometimes refers to the entire tibetan region, and “Tibet” meaning there are significant differences. In France, Germany, Russia, Japan and other text, too, this is a foreign language translation of the relevant data and information to a foreign language in Tibet xizang need to pay attention to a problem.
