This topic investigates the relationship between the ancient central government of China and ethnic minority areas. The "Golden Bemba Bottle" reflects the "Golden Bottle Draw" system implemented by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty in Tibet.
Since the Qing Dynasty, the Dalai Lama, the living Buddha of Tibetan Buddhism, and the reincarnation of the Panchen Lama have been identified by the Golden urn under the supervision of the central representative. Historically, the 10th, 11th and 12th Dalai Lama, the 8th, 9th and 11th Panchen Erdene and the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Zhebuzun Danba Hutuke were all born through this ceremony.

According to the historical custom, the reincarnation of the living Buddha of Tibetan Buddhism must be identified by the golden urn, except for the Karmapa, whose reincarnation is mainly identified by the wishes of the previous Karmapa, but it must be approved by the central government.
In the more than 200 years since the Qing Dynasty, in Tibet alone, more than 70 living buddhas from 39 reincarnation systems of the three major sects of Gelu, Gaju and Ma Ning have been identified through the golden urn lottery.
