/kloc-In the 4th century, Tang Dongjiebu (1385- 1464), a monk of the Kagyu Sect (White Sect), presided over the construction of the first iron cable bridge in Tibet at 1430. In the process of building the bridge, he found that there were seven sisters (including seven brothers and sisters) who were good at singing and dancing among the migrant workers. On the basis of white-faced drama, he absorbed Buddhist scriptures and folk tales with dramatic factors to arrange performance programs, designed singing movements and cymbals to guide Seven Sisters's performance, so as to publicize religion, raise money and build bridges.
Seven Sisters was born beautiful, dancing lightly and singing beautifully. The audience thought she was a fairy and praised her as "Ajram". Later, Tibetan opera was called "Ajram", hence its name. According to the biography of Tang Dongjiebu, there are hundreds of iron bridges and wooden bridges built by Tang Dongjiebu, and there are more than 100 docks and ferries. The funds needed to build so many bridges and ferries are mainly raised by organizing fund-raising performances in addition to lobbying income.

Tang Dongjiebu brought his own white mask play back to Jiongriwuqi Temple, the main temple in his hometown, and created Jiongriwuqi troupe, changing the white goat skin mask into a blue mask. On the basis of the performing arts of the White Mask Opera, the Buddhist story "Wisdom and Beauty" was created and performed in combination with various local songs and dances, ancient yoga and acrobatics. Since then, the blue mask play has gradually formed.
With the establishment of the local government in Kadanpozhang, Tibetan opera, especially blue mask opera, has entered a period of rapid development and prosperity. Formed an art form of traditional Chinese opera performance with singing, singing, dancing and acting as the mainstay. A number of high-level traditional operas and outstanding traditional plays have appeared in Gao. In the folk, some professional or semi-professional Tibetan opera troupes began to appear, and different artistic schools began to form in artistic style.
