29-Article Ordinance for the More Effective Governing of Tibet
The 29-Article Ordinance for the More Effective Governing of Tibet《钦定藏内善后章程二十九条》was an imperial decree published in 1793 by the Qianlong Emperor in the Qing Dynasty, the last imperial dynasty of China.
In 1792, the Qianglong emperor published an article known as A Discourse on Lamas 《喇嘛说》that described the history of lamas and the reincarnation system. In it he described how the Golden Urn system was invented and said it would be a more fair mechanism of selecting the Dalai Lama than identifying the reincarnated Lama using only one person.
