The Regong arts (or Rebgong arts)[1] are the popular arts on the subject of Tibetan Buddhism. They are painting, sculpture, engraving, architecture, and embroidery.[2] They are associated with communities in Tongren County and along the river Rongwo which crosses the current Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in the province of Qinghai in China.
Regong arts were included in 2009 on the representative list of intangible cultural heritage.[3]
Regong arts trace their origins to the 10th century[4]
