Thang-ga（唐卡）is a special kind of painting. It was found only in Tibet， China. It started from the Tang Dynasty. Thang- ga paintings show Tibetan peoples lives. In recent years， Thang-ga paintings have caught the publics attention （公众注意）.At the same time， the Chinese government has also tried hard to protect the art.

The color of Thang-ga paintings looks wonderful and special. Because of the special environment of Tibet and the excellent skills of artists， the paints used in Thang-ga are different from other paints. They were made from minerals like gold and silver， as well as some plants. The paints were made by hand and the beautiful colors could last （持续）for hundreds of years.

However， with the development of technology， people now use cheaper and more

easily-made chemicals（化学品）to make Thang-ga paints. The traditional paints used in Thang-ga paintings took a lot of work and they were made in many secret ways. Later people stopped making the paints and forgot about them. So the skills needed to make them were almost lost. The traditional Thang-ga paintings are difficult to find now.
