China: Fish, a symbol of Naxi culture, hang outside a handicraft shop, Lijiang Old Town, Yunnan Province

The Naxi or Nakhi are an ethnic group inhabiting the foothills of the Himalayas in the northwestern part of Yunnan Province, as well as the southwestern part of Sichuan Province in China. The Naxi are thought to have come originally from Tibet and, until recently, maintained overland trading links with Lhasa and India. The Naxi form one of the 56 ethnic groups officially recognized by the People's Republic of China. The Naxi are traditionally followers of the Dongba religion. Through both Han Chinese and Tibetan cultural influences, they adopted Tibetan Buddhism and, to a lesser extent, Taoism, in the 10th century. The Old Town of Lijiang dates back more than 800 years and was once an important town on the old Tea Horse Road.

China: Fish, a symbol of Naxi culture, hang outside a handicraft shop, Lijiang Old Town, Yunnan Province
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Los Naxi o Nakhi son un grupo étnico que habita las estribaciones del Himalaya en la parte noroeste de la provincia de Yunnan, así como la parte suroeste de la provincia de Sichuan en China. Se cree que los Naxi procedían originalmente del Tíbet y, hasta hace poco, mantenían vínculos comerciales terrestres con Lhasa y la India. Los Naxi forman uno de los 56 grupos étnicos reconocidos oficialmente por la República Popular China. Los Naxi son tradicionalmente seguidores de la religión Dongba. A través de influencias culturales tanto chinas como tibetanas, adoptaron el budismo tibetano y, en menor medida, el taoísmo, en el siglo X. El casco antiguo de Lijiang data de hace más de 800 años y alguna vez fue una ciudad importante en la antigua Ruta del Té y los Caballos.
