The Research Of The Historical

Qinghai is a district of multi-nationality, and the important component in Qinghai national culture is Tibetan Buddhism culture. To make a comparative analysis and empirical research to the spatial distribution characteristics to Tibetan Buddhism culture from the angle of historical-cultural geography is not only the exploration and attempt for regional historical-cultural geography research methods, but an important aspect in Qinghai humanities research.This article has two parts: the first one (from chapter 1 to chapter 5) takes the four typical cultural factors—temple, living Buddha, temple architecture and educational culture as studying objects, analyzing the space-time distribution as well as the evolution in the spreading of Qinhai Tibetan Buddhism culture; The second part is the sixth chapter of the article. Based on the former content and by using synthesis, the Qinhai Tibetan Buddhism culture is divided into 3 parts; In addition, through the study of the relationship among Qinghai Tibetan Buddhist temples, the hierarchic structure of the temples with their causes have been concluded.In the first and second chapter, through study of spatial distribution and time's processing, it is concluded that there are two temple-concentrated areas with Yushu county and Hualong county as their centers respectively; Besides, the temples of different sects of Tibetan Buddhism tend to be brought together in space.

This conforms to monks' national and regional construction. Furthermore, in the center of temples, there are always complicated and complete systems while the organizing system of non-central temples is comparatively simple.The fourth chapter based on the research of Buddhist temple's architecture indicates that in the architecture of Qinghai temples, the regional distribution of the accountant's office temple is consistent with that of the pastoral areas, chiefly in the north, west and south while adobe house temples distribute in the agricultural district in the east. The adobe house temples are classified in three kinds: The style of Han people, Han-Tibet mixture style and Tibetan style.
