‘King Gesar (about 1038-1119 AD) was a legendary Tibetan hero who was born in Dege County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. In his lifetime, he got rid of the violence and protected the people, fought south and north, and finally unified more than 150 tribes in the upper reaches of the Jinsha River and the Yellow River. Later generations called him King Gesar. According to legend, King Gesar is also the incarnation of the Guru Rinpoche and his wisdom, compassion and power.
King Gesar is a true historical figure who gradually deified in the process of epic singing. The oral epic "The Epic of King Gesar" based on Gesar is the longest heroic epic in the world.
He unified the tribal disputes that lasted for hundreds of years after the collapse of the Tubo Kingdom, developed agriculture and animal husbandry, allowed the people to live and work in peace, and brought stability to the Tibetan people.
He advocated Buddhism that was more systematic than primitive religion Bon, and formed a unified Tibetan culture with the Buddhist worldview as the core.
