东巴文字 is a pictographic script used by the 纳西族 people in 中国, particularly in the 丽江 region. It consists of over 1,000 symbols that represent various concepts, objects, and ideas, making it unique among writing systems. This script is primarily used in religious texts and rituals, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the 纳西族. Although it has been in decline due to modernization, efforts are being made to preserve and promote 东巴文字 as an important part of the community's identity.
