In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Naxi folk houses were generally dry "wooden houses", which were made of logs vertically and horizontally, and the height of the floor was as high as seven or eight feet, that is, they were covered with boards and stones. In the main room (ancestral home) of Mulang House, there is a stove called Gegulu, and there is a fire pit in the middle, which is equipped with a big iron tripod, which is used to boil water, cook with warm fire, receive guests, eat and sleep for the elderly. The fireplace is paved with wooden boards on both sides, with the main seat on the right and the guest seat on the left. You can't mix them.

In Lijiang dam area, especially Dayan ancient city, Naxi folk houses are generally tile houses with civil structures. The plane structure of buildings is mostly "three rooms and one wall", and wealthy families also have the layout of "four in one and five patios". The Naxi nationality's "three rooms and one wall" main room is higher, mainly for the elderly to live in, and the wings on both sides are slightly lower, which is occupied by the next generation. In addition, there is a zhaobi opposite the main room, which seems to have clear priorities and coordinated layout. Patio is used for living, mostly paved with bricks and stones, and often beautified with flowers and plants. If there are houses facing the street, most of them are paved, and the owners operate or sublet them to others. The roof foundation is made of stone, the walls are made of adobe, some corners are decorated with bricks, and the upper section is surrounded by boards. The roof truss strengthens the function of crossing bucket, enhances the earthquake-making ability, and makes the house have the characteristics of "the wall falls down but the house does not fall down". Cylindrical tiles are laid on the roof, and the eaves come out at the front and back, and the junction of people and slopes is decorated with "hanging fish".

Second, clothing.

The clothing of Naxi men is basically the same as that of Han nationality, but there are differences among women in different places. A woman from Bai Di, Zhongdian County, wore a double-breasted robe, a pleated skirt, a wool ribbon tied around her waist, black boots on her feet, a white-haired mountain on her back, and braided her hair. Ninglang county Yongning Mosuo woman, beautiful and generous, wearing a big cloth steamed stuffed bun, a big breasted coat, a pleated skirt that can reach the ground, and a ribbon tied around her waist. The Naxi women in Dayan area of Lijiang County have undergone great changes since they changed their clothes into diaphragms in the early Qing Dynasty. They are dressed in wide sleeves and sleeveless cloth, with cuffs smooth to the elbows and purple or navy shoulders. Wearing trousers, wearing an apron sewn with black, white and blue cotton cloth at the waist, with pleats on it and sky-blue wide edges on the bottom; There is a "seven-star sheepskin" on the back, and two long white belts are sewn on the upper end of the sheepskin, which are draped over the shoulders, staggered on the chest and tied behind the waist, which can not only keep warm, but also bear the weight. In recent years, a new type of young women's clothing has come out, which not only maintains the characteristics of ancient Naxi costumes, but also has the characteristics of modern costumes. Its main production feature is to change the waistline of the big skirt into a split or half waist waistline, and change the waistline into a long skirt, which is very popular in etiquette activities.

Sheepskin shawl is an important dress for Naxi women in Lijiang. Generally, it is made of a whole piece of pure black sheepskin, which is cut into a circle with a black border 6 cm wide at the top, and then a row of seven-color embroidered circular cloth discs are nailed at the bottom, and two white sheepskin ribbons are hung at the center of each circle, representing the Big Dipper, commonly known as "Dai Yue wearing a star" to show the meaning of hard work. Another view is that the sheepskin with a round top and a round bottom is cut off to imitate the shape of a frog, while the Naxi people with a disc on the back are called "Bamiao", which means "frog's eyes". This is the product of the fusion of Lijiang indigenous farmers who worship frogs and the ancient Qiang people who worship sheep to form Naxi nationality.

Third, diet.

Naxi people are used to eating three meals a day. The staple food is mainly wheat, corn and rice, and it is processed into steamed bread, steamed bread, Baba and rice. Mountain potato buckwheat highland barley hybrid, like to drink butter tea. They often eat all kinds of dishes, hot pot and large pieces of meat. The cooking skills in towns and dam areas are relatively high. When entertaining guests, homemade refreshments such as begonia, melons, fruits and candied fruit are often served before meals, while "eight bowls" and "six bowls and six plates" are very distinctive. "Three stacks of water" is often used to entertain distinguished guests. Generally, three bowls of different sizes are used to hold vegetables, forming three levels of height. In addition to the vegetables usually used, some delicacies are specially added to the menu.
