In Huangnan, there are more than 40,000 people working in the Regong arts industry, with an annual output value of 780 million yuan, according to Kunthek, deputy governor of the prefecture.
Many artists have set up companies and painting schools with support of the local government, and many nearby rural residents have joined the industry.
Shaghu Cedain, 44, a top folk artisan, started an art company in 2006. He has provided free painting training for 120 apprentices and offered jobs to more than 300 local farmers who paint Thangka and make other artwork, selling the products abroad to the United State, Sweden and the Republic of Korea.
The booming market has also pushed innovation in Regong arts.
"There are many cultural and creative products regarding Thangka on the market in recent years. For instance, some unique patterns extracted from traditional Thangka paintings have been printed on cups and scarfs," said Nyang Mongya, who runs a Thangka shop in the county. "The young highly-educated and creative generation like integrating skills from other painting schools into Thangka paintings."
"Thangka is expected to become an engine of local green economy," Kunthek said.
