Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper focuses on the study of the color system composition in small and mid-sized towns in the Tibetan-inhabited area with the respect of the Tibetan Buddhism culture and the infusion of many other foreign cultures as a starting point. By means of the deduction related to Munsell Color System and color geography, it intends to find a kind of urban color system which is from religion but not the same as the one concerning religion. It aims at exploring the thoughts about the controlling and planning of urban color in the Tibetan-inhabited area and establishing a complete three-level color system framework so as to protect the color composition of the Labrang Monastery comprehensively as well as effectively guide the choices and structures of colors related to urban buildings in the old urban area in Xiahe County, Gansu Province.
