Abstract


The Dunhuang contract culture during the Tibetan rule had distinct characteristics and reflected the differences of the times. A large number of famous objects contained in the Dunhuang contract text are the epitome of the cultural exchange between the Tang Dynasty and the Tibetan. The study of them can reproduce the interaction between the farming culture of the Tang Dynasty and the nomadic culture of the Tibetan.
