西藏岩画是指远古时期西藏地方先民有意识、成规模地凿刻或涂绘在岩石上的图案形象。西藏岩画是记载西藏地方先民物质生产和精神活动的“准文字”档案,是研究西藏地方社会变迁和发展的“活化石”。考论西藏岩画的档案属性、档案载体、档案内容及其档案价值,以期更好地保护、发掘和利用这笔珍贵的西藏历史文化遗产。 Tibetan rock paintings refer to the pattern images of ancient people who were consciously and scalely carved or painted on rocks in their ancestors’ places in ancient times. Tibetan petroglyphs are “quasi-script” files that record the material and spiritual activities of local ancestors in Tibet and are the “living fossils” for studying the social changes and development in Tibet. In this paper, we discuss the file attributes, file carriers, contents and their archival values ​​of Tibetan rock paintings in order to better protect, discover and utilize this precious Tibetan historical and cultural heritage.
