| Description | According to Archives of the General Manager of the Imperial Household Department, from conception to completion, this solemn and beautiful production of The Tibetan Dragon Sutras written in gold ink represented the devoted attention of the Grand Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. With the help of her grandson, the Kangxi Emperor, then aged 14, she held her ground and overcame numerous obstacles and difficulties in terms of human, financial, and material resources. With further financial support from her hometown tribe of Horgin in Mongolia, it took all of two years to finally complete her long-cherished wish to transcribe the texts. |
