Family structure is the way of family composition, i.e. the type and state of the family, which is a kind of dynamic process. The article, through collecting and collating research on Tibetan family structure, concludes that Tibetan family structure is characterised by plurality and mobility. Pluralism is aimed at the type of family structure, and different Tibetan marriage patterns make the Tibetan family structure of various types; the study of Tibetan family structure is generally placed in the study of change, the modernisation process, the birth of the third generation, the game between the family members, and other factors are intertwined to make a strong fluidity and uncertainty.
