It covers a wide range of topics, including notable Tibetan historical figures, significant historical events, Sino-Tibetan relations, ancient Tibetan laws and governmental institutions, specialized official documents, ancient monuments, important temples, Tibetan folklore, and religious practices in Tibetan regions.
