The 80 thangkas on display in Mantang Instrument Exhibition Hall are unique in the history of medicine and pharmacy, and are also rare in the history of world medicine and pharmacy. Through these more than 180 surgical instruments used by Thangka and traditional Tibetan medicine, this paper systematically and intuitively introduces the theory and practical technology of Tibetan medicine. The original wall chart of medical teaching in the form of pictures and the medical instruments used for more than 1300 years reproduce the surgical operation that Tibetan medicine has been widely used in clinical practice more than 2000 years ago. Especially in the form of photos, this paper introduces the craniotomy performed by Tibetan medicine thousands of years ago, which not only shows the intelligence and wisdom of Tibetan ancestors, but also fully proves the superb and exquisite surgical techniques of Tibetan medicine with a long history.

The exhibition hall of ancient books and documents displays more than 1000 representative ancient books among the vast volumes of Tibetan medicine literature, and more than 300 modern and contemporary Tibetan medicine books and precious printing plates of ancient books. Through the printing plate of ancient books, such famous books as sibuyidian, Yuewang Yaozhen, ancestor oral, sibuyidian lanliuli, Jingzhu Bencao, etc., it shows the vast ancient books and profound, systematic and complete theories of Tibetan medicine as one of the four traditional medicine in the world. Hundreds of modern and contemporary books on Tibetan medicine and pharmacy show that there are successors in the ancient theoretical research of Tibetan medicine and pharmacy, from which we can see that the theoretical research of Tibetan medicine and pharmacy has ushered in a new era of blooming flowers and bringing forth new ones.

The Tibetan medicine specimen exhibition hall exhibits more than 2000 specimens of animal, plant and mineral distributed on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, including "Zo Tai", which is made of special materials such as mercury, gold and silver, and is known as "the king of manna essence". There are also 70 kinds of Pearl pills, Renqing changjue and other finished drugs that have been included in the national drug basic catalog and protected by the state. The exhibition hall not only displays the fine products of the drugs contained in the famous Tibetan medicine work Jingzhu Materia Medica, but also becomes the most wonderful and concentrated exhibition classroom of plateau biology.

The exhibition hall of astronomical calendar adopts sand made time wheel Mandala, astronomical calendar tools, ancient books, Thangka, statues of Tibetan calendar calculators who have made outstanding contributions in past dynasties and modern scientific and technological means to reproduce scenes, restore and simulate the operation of the sun, moon and stars of Tibetan calendar, and demonstrate its functions and calculation methods in Tibetan calendar calculation, weather forecast, and azimuth determination. Astronomy and calendar is a natural science summed up by the ancestors of Tibetan people in their long-term production and life practice, and it is an important part of Tibetan culture. It has a long history, rich literature, and distinctive national characteristics. It is widely used in the actual life of Tibetan people, and has an important impact on the agriculture and animal husbandry in Tibetan areas. Astronomical calendar calculation has a direct relationship with Tibetan medicine. Through long-term practice, the Tibetan people have come to the dialectical statement that "there is medicine when there is calculation, and there is medicine when there is medicine". For example, through mastering the external climate change and the operation law of the five elements, they can diagnose and treat diseases, collect and process medicinal materials, etc. That is, in today's highly developed science and technology, it still has the value of learning, research and utilization and irreplaceable role. We should inherit and carry forward our national culture, continue to excavate the profound connotation of astronomical calendar, strive to improve and constantly improve it, so as to make it more suitable for the needs of contemporary society, so as to benefit the society and the broad masses of the people.

significance

The Museum of Tibetan medicine culture has many functions, such as excavation, collection, protection, exhibition, research, teaching and popularization.
