Quote: Of course, Lo-Chi and her Shangri-La people were influencial on the Tibetan culture, which has always been different from and often inimical to the Chinese culture.

Quote: The cultures are frighteningly similar when you get into myths and stories, though.
Quote: I don't know enough about them to really comment, but I think there's probably a difference in the pre-Buddhist animalist stuff.
From what little I know, it's interesting to note that both the Chinese and Tibetans have ancient stories about demons who come from beneath the Earth's surface. Of course that may just have to do with the fact that both countries have lots of scary-looking caves, and earthquakes (the Japanese have similar stories, too).
The languages are hard to make connections between, though, sometimes because there are similarities and even words/syllables that are the same. But other times those words mean something entirely different.
