The word “dongba” refers to the priests of the powerful Naxi ethnic group of China. Even today, the dongba teach the people to live in harmony with nature by using a hieroglyphic style of writing. They have a great influence on the Naxi culture. The Dongba Culture Museum lies near Lijiang, China. The surrounding area is a popular tourist destination with many attractions and resorts. The architecture of the Museum reflects the typical Naxi square, open-courtyard style. It has more than 12,000 ancient relics of the old teachings like holy books, paintings, sacrificial tools, lifestyle depictions, information about their festivals, and more.
