Dongba culture is listed in the World Memory Heritage by UNESCO.UNESCO

The core inheritors of this civilization are called the wise men of Dongba.

This precious ancient civilization is very mysterious. For thousands of years, it has been following the principle of passing on men but not women.They can only be passed on to their sons in the Dongba family.

I am a Han, not a Naxi. But my appearance made the wise men of Dongba break the ancestral system of inheritance for thousands of years and made me the only female inheritor. 

Over the past few years, I have been doing my best to help the inheritance and dissemination of this culture.

I founded a public welfare Dongba Cultural Academy in a thousand-year-old temple.

The pictures from the time that I have been with the wise men of Dongba in the past few years.
