Jokhang and early Lhasa religious and diplomatic contexts
Jokhang (Jo khang)
A temple, its changing fabric, and a nearby treaty inscription reveal different forms of royal, religious, and diplomatic evidence. Lhasa was connected to artisans and institutions beyond its valley.
Highland landscapes, communities, and changing institutions
Plateau, valley, and connected regional landscapes
Lhasa's valley connected diplomatic and artistic networks. The temple point is not a territorial or religious boundary.
Political organization and community scale
Royal patronage, religious institutions, artisans, and later regional rulers shaped the site. Their roles changed rather than forming an unbroken modern state.
Later transformation, living heritage, and modern reception
The shrine remains living religious heritage. Its seventh-century traditions, medieval expansions, and later conservation must be kept chronologically distinct.
Accounts differ over founders and participants.
The academic edition separates composition from erection.
A religious foundation date does not date every surviving wall.
