1912年以后,西藏地方和中央政府之间的关系呈现出不正常的态势。1919年“五四”运动爆发,国内民主呼声日益高涨,要求政府解决西藏悬案,反对外国干涉内政。1919年8月,中央政府派出甘肃代表团赴藏联络感情。这是自辛亥革命以来内地第一次冲破英国的阻挠,派团直接与西藏地方政府取得联系,具有重要的历史意义。 After 1912, the relationship between Tibet and the central government showed an abnormal situation. In 1919, the “May 4th” Movement broke out and the domestic democratism was on the rise. It demanded that the government resolve the overhang of Tibet and oppose foreign interference in its internal affairs. In August 1919, the Central Government sent a delegation from Gansu to Tibet to contact him. This is the first time since the 1911 Revolution that the mainland broke through the obstruction of the United Kingdom and the consular delegation has made direct contact with the local government in Tibet. This is of historical significance.
