Characteristics of Tibetan music
Tibetans are a nation that can sing and dance well, and their songs are beautiful, broad and melodious. Tibetan music can be roughly divided into Buddhist music and folk music. The most famous Buddhist music is the ode-free melody sung by Lama.

Tibetan folk songs are loud and clear, which sounds like a vast plateau and blue sky, with melodious tunes, but they are also dominated by five tones. Song and dance forms include "Guo Harmony" and "Guo Zhuo" (Guo Zhuang). Some elements of Tibetan music have been absorbed by Han and Western music. Some Han songwriters imitated the characteristics of Tibetan music and created some songs such as "Visiting a New City" and "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau". In recent years, Tibetan songs in Tibet have also incorporated other musical elements. Besides Cai Dan Zhuoma and Han Hong, who mainly sings Chinese songs, there are many famous Tibetan singers such as Rong Zhong Er Jia, Yadong and Qiong Xue Zhuoma.

In terms of formal drama, King Gelsall, a traditional Tibetan opera, has been excavated and performed.
