Tibetan Drama as a comprehensive art of singing and dancing was formed in the 15th century. The Story of King Gesar, one of the world's top epics, not only exists in the form of oral narration but is closely connected with Tibetan drama, sculpture, and painting, adding to the range of the Gesar Culture. In Ganzi Autonomous Prefecture, the monastery-style Tibetan drama in Dege County and the folk Tibetan drama in Seda County are the classic example of King Gesar serials. With the monastery style, both man and woman roles are played by monks, and they all wear masks. In the Seda Tibetan drama, masks are not used, and spoken parts, music of voice, singing, dancing and performance are integrated Into presenting the role's character. For this reason, the Seda Tibetan drama has traveled to and won praises in other parts of China, even foreign countries.
