In 2022, we visited an ancient Naxi village in Lijiang, Yunnan. Their most distinctive characteristic is that they have created and preserved a complete classical civilization system, with the Dongba religion as its core belief and living pictographic characters .

Dongba culture is an organic whole composed of beliefs, writing, rituals, and art. It not only records the historical memory of the Naxi people but also embodies the ancient wisdom of living in harmony between humans and nature.
