[[Zhang Zhung]] or [[Zhangzhung]] (also Shangshung or Xiangxiong), is written according to the transliteration of the Tibetan word ཞང་ཞུང་. It is the kingdom and ancient culture of western and northwestern Tibet.The capital city, Kyunglong, is located on the edge of Lake Tangra Yumcoin, in today’s Ali region. The ancient Zhangzhung Kingdom created extremely high civilizations. It not only formed its own unique Zhangzhung characters, but also the birthplace of the Yungdrung Bon religion. Yungdrung Bon culture is actually equivalent to Zhangzhung culture. Zhangzhung culture predates the Tibetan Buddhist culture in Tibet and is the source of all Tibetan culture. | [[Zhang Zhung]] or [[Zhangzhung]] (also Shangshung or Xiangxiong), is written according to the transliteration of the Tibetan word ཞང་ཞུང་.
