Introducing the Naxi tour guide words anxious anxious!

The Naxi people are descended from the ancient Qiang people, moved southward from the northwestern Huangshuang area, and formed by fusion with the natives.

Western Zhou Dynasty Naxi ancestors in today's Shaanxi, Gansu, the establishment of the Inuyong country, the capital in Jingning County (today's Weirong Town), according to documentary records Naxi ancestors for the Northwest's oldest nomadic people. As early as in the yanhuang period, the canary country is the yanhuang tribe's strong enemy. The Book of the Later Han has recorded: "the former Gaoxin's have the invasion of the Injun, the emperor suffered from its invasion and violence, and the conquest is not." The Gaoxin clan was the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor and the father of Emperor Yao. [1]

Qin and Han to Wei and Jin, the Naxi people have migrated to the Dadu River and Yalong River Basin, to nomadic, animal husbandry.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Naxi forefathers established -Baiwangguo in Sichuan, whose territories included areas such as Baiyu County west of the Yalong River in today's Sichuan, neighboring Yakguo on the east side of the Yalong River. According to "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty - Southwest Barbarians Liezhuan", the White Wolf State was once a thriving and prosperous country and maintained good relations with the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, and by the time of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty, "White Wolf and other hundred or so other countries, with more than one million three hundred thousand households and more than six million mouths, raised their seeds to pay tribute." [2]

During the Tang Dynasty, some of the Naxi ancestors traveled south along the Yalong River and arrived in Lijiang. Subsequently, they moved south and established the first regime in the eastern part of the Erhai Sea, the Yuejiazhao. History said the Yue analyze edict "the most extensive land, the strongest soldiers, so for the south imperial taboo". Yue analyzed the edict for a short time by the southern imperial decree was destroyed, the Naxi ancestors southward pace thus stop.

The Tang Dynasty Naxi ancestors in today's Yunnan Weishan County north and Yangbi Yi Autonomous County, in the middle of the south to establish the regime - Meng Cuckoo Zhao.

Since then, the Naxi ancestors retreated to the middle reaches of the Jinsha River basin; for more than 500 years, they have been struggling and surviving in the interstices of the three major powers, namely, the Tang Dynasty, the Nanzhao and the Tubo. This special living environment has created the deep, tough and flexible national character of the Naxi people. At the same time, the culture of the Naxi people was moisturized by these three cultural circles, and the national culture represented by the Dongba culture went up from there. In the Song Dynasty, the political environment of the Naxi ancestors improved: the Tubo Dynasty in the north fell apart; the Nanzhao also fell into chaos; the Song Dynasty in the east was poor to deal with the nomads in the north, unable to strategize the southwest. "Therefore, since the Nanzhao, the realm of Muozhi, Dali can not have, the Tubo can not reach, the Song also abandoned its land, into the border of Oudou, after three hundred and fifty years of time." Naxi thus obtained a rare independent development time. In the full development of social and economic production at the same time (farming civilization has replaced the production of half farming and half pastoral state), politically dispersed, some of the tribes are gradually united; Dongba culture system is gradually grand and perfect.

After the Qing Dynasty, the power of Mufu gradually declined. The reason is that Tibet once again into the central dynasty governed by the map, so that Lijiang lost the "southwest fence" political location advantages, and wood's landlord economy held by the manor has become a negative factor hindering the development of productive forces. 1723 Lijiang implementation of the reclassification of the land to the stream, wood's landlord since then, benefited from the Lijiang economy, the rapid development of Lijiang's landlord economy, the landlord economy. Lijiang's landlord economy developed rapidly. The handicraft industry also flourished, and the pattern of Lijiang's ancient city was finally formed. The phenomenon of martyrdom spread, and Lijiang was called the "capital of martyrdom" by outsiders.

After the Opium War, the Naxi region also entered a period of social unrest, during which the Lijiang people commonly known as the "chaotic eighteen years" is particularly tragic. Qing Xianfeng, Tongzhi years, Dali Du Wenxiu uprising involving Lijiang, for 18 years of tug-of-war, Lijiang heavy losses. Mr. Zhang Xingyuan's "Lijiang history" contains: "Daoguang years (1821-1850) under 6405 households, men and women size 3128276 Guangxu dynasty household 15152, men and women size 46

The Naxi people responded positively to the Xinhai Revolution, announced that the Qing government rule, and participated in the anti-imperialist movement; anti-Japanese war, the Naxi people for the country more than 400 people died, because the mainland lines of communication were cut off by the Japanese army, the late fall of Burma, China's land lines of communication only remaining Kunming - Dali --Lijiang - Lhasa - Nepal - India this one. Lijiang became an important transit point, Lijiang's commercial, cultural and educational prosperity.

Lijiang was peacefully liberated on July 1, 1949, and the Lijiang Naxi Autonomous County was established in 1961. 1996, a magnitude 7 earthquake struck Lijiang, killing and injuring more than 3,200 people and causing 4.5 billion yuan in economic losses. 1997, Lijiang's Old Town was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In June 2003, the "Three Rivers" was named "World Natural Heritage", and in September of the same year, the Naxi Dongba Ancient Records were selected as "Memory of the World Heritage List." July 1, 2003, Lijiang withdrew from the city, the former Lijiang Naxi Autonomous County into Yulong Naxi Autonomous County and the ancient city.

[3] The Naxi mainly reside in the Gucheng District and Yulong Naxi Autonomous County in Yunnan Province, with the rest distributed in the counties of Weixi, Zhongdian (present-day Shangri-La), Ninglang, Deqin, and Yanbian, Yanyuan, and Muli in Sichuan Province, as well as Zhikang in Tibet.

"Lijun never like planting trees in the mountain city everywhere not flying flowers" Lijiang men have three major events in their lives to build a house, get married, sun. Lijiang men to plant flowers, birds, writing, painting, playing mahjong has a special hobby and special time men are good at all the activities in the yard in addition to one of their favorite outdoor activities is to sit guests and the Naxi woman in the year only on the first day of the New Year to sleep a day of laziness. From "Panjimei" to "Ahmu" in the blink of an eye, there are only two words: "hardworking" Naxi women work from morning to night, from manual labor to small business, from tidying up fields to killing pigs, from mending clothes to making fire and cooking, all of them have their own jobs. Clothes to make fire to cook all like a fairy down to earth and the men are idle down this idle will not be allowed. Naxi people in the Chinese language people come out dazzling can not help but say that the Naxi woman raised the Naxi culture.

Naxi people are good at learning can also be reflected in the ancient city of residential construction. Ancient city dwellings in the extensive absorption of Chinese, Tibetan, white and other ethnic architectural style at the same time also put the national architectural culture and aesthetic awareness of the formation of many of the Naxi characteristics of the three rooms, a wall, four and five patio, the front and back of the courtyard, a number of courtyards, and other architectural styles and in the doorway, porch settings and patio paving, hexagonal door and its decor

The Naxi people are good at learning, it can be said that the women raised Naxi culture.
