What does "Lhasa" mean in Tibetan?

In Tibetan, Lhasa is a holy land or a Buddhist land, a god and a land.

Lhasa was called Esa in ancient times, Tibetan goat Esa, and local language Esa.

Translating Tibetan in Lhasa into oral language means that you only need to respect and obey the sacred will of the Buddha. If it is reasonable, it also means accuracy, no doubt and change, and tiny differences are thousands of miles away. It's Heshi. This place was built by Buddhist temples, hence the name Lhasa.

The word Lhasa first appeared in historical records and was found in Gaqiong Temple Monument written by Tibetan king Chidesongzan in 806 AD.

Around 1 century, large and small clan tribes appeared on the plateau. After years of peace and war, several tribal alliances have been formed, among which the Yalong River Tribal Alliance in Shannan Valley, Xiangxiong Kingdom in Ali Region and Supi Tribal Alliance north of Yarlung Zangbo River are the most powerful. At this time, the ancient name Jiqu of Lhasa River has appeared. The location of Lhasa is called Wotang, Xue Ji, which means the fertile dam in the lower reaches of Jiqu River.

Lhasa was a swamp before the capital was moved. It was called Luodian in the Tang Dynasty and Yossa after the Jokhang Temple was built.

When the temple was built, goats filled the lake with negative soil. In Tibetan, the sheep is called provocation, and the soil is called pizza. After the Jokhang Temple was completed, it was called provocation. Because Jokhang Temple is the earliest building, people take Jokhang Temple as the center and Yossar as the city name.

In China's history books, Gesa is generally translated as "Luo Po" and "Luo Dian". With the prosperity of Buddhism, people regard this city as a holy place, and the name of Lhasa appeared at this time and is still in use today.
