Introduction to ancient pagodas: The Tibetan area is a Buddhist holy land with the most pagodas in the world today. For a long time, since Tibetan Buddhists regard building pagodas as a way to cultivate virtue and accumulate good fortune, both monks and laymen are keen on building pagodas. Because "a stupa, a statue, a sutra, chanting aloud, all of these will automatically produce a lot of merit" (Tucci "Religion in Tibet and Mongolia"). In this way, countless pagodas were erected on this vast land in Tibetan areas. This type of pagoda has its own local characteristics in terms of form, inner meaning, functional benefits, etc.
