The Palace Thangkas of the Qing Dynasty are a combination of Qing court culture and Tibetan Buddhist culture, including painting, weaving, mosaic and other craft elements, and are important witnesses of the spread and development of Tibetan Buddhism in the Qing court.
The production of palace thangkas in the Qing Dynasty reached its peak in the Qianlong period. This book discusses the mounting of palace thangkas in the Qianlong period by systematically sorting out the relevant content of the "Zaoban Office Job File" of the Qing Palace Household Affairs Office, combined withthe precious Thangka relics in the Palace Museum. There are many important issues such as the selection of materials, stiles, work cycles, management agencies and participants of inlays.
The appendix ofthis book is a collection of more than 330 files related to the mounting and inlaying of palace thangkas in the "Working Files of the ManufacturingOffice"involving dispatching time, responsible organisation, assigning/delivering orders, dispatching workers, work content, workload.
The specific information such as the completion time fully presents the overall situation of the palace Thangka moutning and inlaying activities during the Qianlong period.
