Since the 1980s, in the context of the rescue of Gesar epic, the rise of market economy, and the protection of intangible cultural heritage, “Gesar” Thangkar has gained creative vitality and experienced modern changes, presenting the aesthetic characteristics of secularization, sanctification, and art.
