Nie Chizamp is the first Tibetan king in the history of Tibet. He and the six Tibetan kings after him are called "the seven kings of heaven" in history. Legend has it that the Seven Kings of Heaven and Earth are all gods of heaven, and they will also board heaven when they die.
The "Royal Mastery of the Ming Dynasty" states that "the body of the god of heaven does not exist, but disappears like a rainbow" (rainbow), and the rainbow is the rope to climb the sky, and the mountain is the ladder, so there is no grave in Tibet. It is said that the King of Zigong Zanpu, after the Seven Kings of the Red Sky, inadvertently cut off the ascending rope of heaven that he connected with the heavens. Since then, the king of Tibet has been unable to ascend to heaven and has remained in the world. People built the first Tibetan king's tomb in Qingwadazi for him, and the ladder symbols painted on it became a channel to heaven.
Gongbu Tibetans believe that after death, people can climb to the kingdom of heaven through the "ladder" painted on a nearby cliff, so many "cliffs" are painted on many cliffs in Gongbu area.
