Baisha village is a minority village, where the Naxi aborigines live. A shaman of the Naxi nationality is called a Dongba, and he is a master or wise man. In ancient times, a Dongba created the characters of the Naxi nationality’s written language, so the style of writing is now called the Dongba script.
