我国北方居住着满族、蒙古族、藏族等许多少数民族，他们自古崇信佛教。承德是全国首批确立的历史文化名城之一，举世闻名的避暑山庄及其周围寺庙，1994年被联合国教科文组织列入世界文化遗产名录。康乾时期清政府为团结北部众少数民族，维护边疆地区安宁与稳定，尊重他们对佛教的崇信，在山庄周围兴建了十二座金碧辉煌的喇嘛寺庙，成为我国北方规模最大的藏传佛教圣地。这些散落在山庄周围的皇家寺庙，积淀着深厚的民族宗教历史文化资源，内涵极其丰富，在相当长一段时间内，这里都是内地与蒙古诸部在宗教方面直接联络的主要寺院，成为清政府宗教活动的中心。至今普宁寺仍在举行佛事活动，在北方影响巨大。这些寺庙融合多民族宗教建筑风格，供奉多而全，且造型艺术价值极高，大量佛像、碑刻、楹联等体现民族宗教文化的载体，不仅在我国北方地区、而且在世界范围也极为罕见。因此，对如此深厚的民族宗教资源进行研究具有很高的学术价值。%Many minorities live in Northern China like Manchu, Mogolian and Tibetan who believe in Bud-dhism. Chengde, a famous historical city in China, whose Mountain Resort and the outlying temples have been inscribed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO in 1994. During the Qing Dynasty, the government built twelve fabulous Lama Temples which became the biggest holy place in Northern China in order to protect the borderlines and make peace and respect their religious belief. Those temples around , rich with national and religious re-sources, have been the main connection between China and Mongolia. Until now, the Puning Temple holds reli-gious rituals with great influences. Those temples are combinations of national religious art styles with great val-ues which are quite rare around the world. So a research on this is of great academic value.
