Abstract

The style and color of traditional Tibetan architecture have strong plateau characteristics based on its unique geographical environment, climatic characteristics, religious beliefs, and ethnic customs. No matter its colors or forms, its architectural decorations have many connections with religions. It contains rich religious meaning and conveys the Tibetan people’s innocence of advocating religion. This article mainly researches the applications and cultural beliefs of Tibetan traditional houses, palaces, and temples’ architectural color, hence to gain a deeper understanding of traditional Tibetan architecture.
