Ancient Tripitaka (Tibetan Encyclopedia) will move into a new, government-built museum.
Dechong is a member of the ancient Dongtsang family, from China's Qinghai Province, whose ancestor was said to be one of the 30 generals of the legendary King Gesar. The 700 surviving volumes of the Tripitaka saved by his family is considered the oldest and most complete version held by ordinary people.
The museum, a two-story Tibetan-style building, cost nearly RMB 1 million (US$150,000) and covers 456 square meters.
