history

Until about 1290, Chumig was the seat of a ruling dynasty with the title of "ten thousand leader" (Tib .: khri dpon ; "Thripön"). Chumig himself had the title "Chumig Thrikor" ("Ten Thousandship Chumig"). The Thripön entered into marital alliances with the Sakyapa , the strongest ruling power in Tibet at the time.

Shortly after 1290, Chumig fell out of favor among the Sakya under the Thripön Cangku Dönrin (Tib .: khri dpon spyang ku don rin ) due to irregularities in accounting.

The attempt to obtain a pardon from the Great Khan Kublai Khan failed. As a result, the tens of thousands were apparently subordinated to the Sakya internal administration for a period of time, subordinated to "Sakya Nangso" (Tib .: sa skya nang so ), until they were finally subordinated to the "Shithog Labrang" (Tib. Gzhi thog bla brang ), which was also subordinated belonged to the Sakyapa.

After the Phagmo Dru rulers, Situ Changchub Gyeltshen (tib .: si tu byang chub rgyal mtshan ) took over, the thrikor was finally subordinate to the Phagmo Dru rulers (tib .: phag mo gru pa ), who ultimately - in poor economic condition - again handed over to the Shithog Labrang. The Shithog Labrang then continued the religious site of Thrikor.
