Old Tibetan medicine works go digital
Print Edition
The Qinghai Tibetan medicine research institute has completed the digitalization of more than 600 works on traditional Tibetan medicine.
The books and documents were created between the 7th and early 20th century.
鈥淪haring valuable research materials with the public through digitalization is very significant,鈥 said Khardrogy, director of the institute鈥檚 literature information center.
Digitalization can help preserve the original rare ancient books and documents, and provide a more convenient platform for knowledge exchange, Khardrogy added.
There are more than 5,000 ancient works on traditional Tibetan medicine, but many are damaged or lost due to poor storage and other factors.
The institute has dispatched researchers to other parts of China and more than 10 countries, including Britain, Italy and the United States, collecting about 1,000 documents. More than 600 have been put into a database, together with introductions to thousands of traditional Tibetan medicinal materials and preparations.
Tibetan medicine 鈥 or Sowa Rigpa in Tibetan 鈥 has a history of over 2,000 years. It was added to China鈥檚 intangible cultural heritage list in 2006.
