The 나시족 (Naxi people) are an ethnic group primarily residing in the Yunnan province of China. They are known for their unique culture, language, and traditions, which include a rich history of music and dance. The Naxi language belongs to the Tibeto-Burman language family and is distinct from the dominant Han Chinese culture. One of the most notable aspects of Naxi culture is their matriarchal society, where women often hold significant power in family and community decisions. The Naxi also practice a form of polyandry, where a woman may have multiple husbands. Their traditional beliefs are closely tied to Taoism and Buddhism, reflecting a blend of spiritual practices.
