The Mosuo was officially identified as Naxi nationality although its relationship with Naxi remains controversial. We studied the genetic relationship between the Mosuo and five other ethnic groups currently residing in northwest Yunnan, i.e. Naxi, Tibetan, Bai, Yi and Pumi, by typing the genetic variations in mtDNA HVS1 and 21 Y chromosome markers (13 SNPs & 8 STR markers). We showed that the maternal lineages of the Mosuo bear the strongest resemblance with those found in Naxi while its paternal lineages are more similar to those that are prevalent in Yunnan Tibetan. The marked difference between paternal and maternal lineages may be attributable to the genetic history, matriarchal structure, and visiting marriage.展开更多

This mysterious river, found 2,680 meters above sea level and covering an area of 50 square kilometers, is known as the "bright pearl of the plateau." The area around the Lugu River is not only beautiful but also known for its unique local ethnic customs of the Naxi, Lisu and Yi inhabitants.展开更多
Water irrigation works built by the side of the Lugu River have enabled the Mosuo people to grow rice. Here they transplant rice shoots in the spring weather.
