Sichuan Tibetan region is a place where Tibetan people and other minorities live and natural economy based on traditional agriculture and animal husbandry remains. It has been almost one hundred years since modern school developed there. It made great achievements during latest fifty years. Modern school which was born in the industrial times, has been certainly colliding with Tibetan traditional culture and natural economy and meeting problem of adaptations in Sichuan Tibetan region. Since 1980s, Sichuan Tibetan region has made lots of satisfactory success in process of reforming and opening; at meantime appeared many new things, which brought new problems to development of Sichuan Tibetan education. Therefore new problems adding to old ones make the condition of education more complicate. The education reforming there is far more difficult than that of other places.In the contemporary era when the economy of industry is transforming into the one of knowledge, there happens a drastic collision between the declining industrial culture and the newborn computer and net culture. Education, as a means to transferring culture, is confronted with great challenges in an all-round way from the culture transferred to the transferring means. What kind of man does education cultivate? New generations always meet a question of how to choose themode of life. It is of no help for any people in the world to retreat cowardly. In recent dozens of year, technology is developing into oneness, and economy into globalization on independence of man's will, which is far fiercer than ever. The depth and extent of its influence goes far beyond imagine. Facing such high surging wave, Sichuan Tibetan region cannot adhere to its tradition closely and exclusively.

The first part of this dissertation tries to establish such a frame that stresses on analyzing the essence of education, distinguishing behaving education from incarnate education, education function from education action, and discussing interaction among education and other social practices.The essence of education has been discussed without results for more than twenty years. This dissertation considers confusing behaving education withincarnate education as the reason why there is disagreement in the controversy and holds that behaving education is the basis for culture transfer. Education doesn't exist when it doesn't act as a behavior. Because human society is becoming more and more complicated, organized, behaving education doesn't carry out the important task of transferring culture completely. Therefore, incarnate education composed of special institution, organization and faculty appears on the historical stage. For both of behaving education and incarnate education, each of them has its own essence and function. Discussi...
