As an inheritor of the Tibetan Thangka Chinzi school, Pemba Wangdui not only makes efforts in inheritance and protection, but also constantly innovates in the path of art painting, so that the ancient thangka art can exert its due modern artistic value and adapt to the development of society. In addition, in order to polish his skills more comprehensively, after continuous hard study, while studying the Chinzi school painting style, he studied mural restoration, declared traditional cultural heritage projects and other related work.
"Thangka traditional education is passed on from master to apprentice, father to son, and attaches importance to the inheritance of techniques. After Thangka entered the university pulpit, it formed a complete theoretical system. It has become an art discipline parallel to traditional Chinese painting and Western painting. "Nowadays, with the continuous progress and development of society, it is far from enough to inherit thangka, but also needs to continuously adapt to the development of the times and innovate."
