Thang-ga (唐卡) is a special kind of painting. It was found only in Tibet, China. It started from the Tang dynasty(唐代). Thang-ga paintings show Tibetan People's lives. In recent years, Thang- ga paintings have caught the public's attention. At the same time, the Chinese government has also tried hard to protect the art.
The colors of Thang-ga paintings look wonderful and special. Because of the special environment of Tibet and the excellent skills of artists, the paints (颜料) used in Thang-ga paintings are different from other paints. They were made from minerals like gold and silver, as well as some plants. The paints were made by hand and the beautiful colors last for hundreds of years.
