The Shu view of nature is a unique tradition of Naxi ethnic group. By Dongba mythology, Shu is man’s half brother. The environmental ethic was actually a special human ethic for the traditional Naxi people. Traditional Naxi people regarded nature as brother, respected the nature’s right and kept a harmonious relationship with the environment in which they lived on. It can be revelatory for modern time when the human people can not keep a good nature.

Doing research on the culture pattern of an ethnic group can help us understand “human” and “culture” from the basic view point of “ethnic culture”.

Naxi people have a culture pattern with specific life ideal, and it has been shown in their own behaviors and ideas. Naxi people take “xigao” as standard way of being a Naxi, “xidu” as rule of interaction, and “quchao” as dominant ethnic life style. All these originate from “yangren”, their goal of life, and their pursuit of ideal life status “zao”. Meanwhile, by taking the life style with ethnic life characteristics, such as offering sacrifice, and holding wedding and funeral, Naxi people keep enforcing kinship relations with each other. In this way, people can explore other’s personality in the interactions during long time, accept those “xigao”, who have passed long test, as “our party”, and adopt them into our main social net. While even in the interactions among “our party”, reciprocity and fair are still the basic reasonable interactive rules, as well as mutual respect and harmonious circumstance and leisurely entertainment style. This kind of culture pattern can best meet Naxi’s pursuit of life ideal “zao”.

The connotation of “culturelizing” lies in how to find out people through culture, and to rediscover the meaning and value of life existence. To explore the culture pattern of Naxi people is actually to rediscover the intrinsic core value of Naxi’s spirit. It will help to trace Naxi’s traditional culture change in social and culture change, and it is of practical importance to the study of Naxi.

明确“纳系族群” 的概念所指：
历史上以摩挲、磨些（suo）为它称，以“纳”为自称的这一种群就是“纳系族群”， 该种群主要活动在滇川藏交角区域。由于种种原因，“纳系族群”的历史衍变状况非常复杂，现在主要包括纳西人、纳罕人、摩挲人、蒙族人、纳木依人这几支。
对“纳系族群”民间文化有没有可能实施国家级保护
根据《国家十一五时期文化发展规划纲要》，由文化部牵头，国家要建立10个国家级民族民间文化生态保护区，由于目前仍处试验性阶段，因此各保护区暂定为“文化生态保护实验区”，待日后条件成熟时正式命名为“文化生态保护区”。这是以国家的名义和力量来对一个区域实施民族民间生态保护。
在藏彝走廊这一重要的民族文化区域内，纳系族群是很有代表性的一支，具有非常深厚的底蕴和特色，相关的政府机构和学术机构可以认真地来考虑分析，有没有建立“纳系族群文化生态保护区”的可能性？如果能以国家的力量来建立这个保护区，那对纳系族群来说，无疑具有重大的现实意义和非常深远的历史意义，这个课题应该引起地方领导和纳文化学界的高度重视，应该深入地来进行思考和研究。
金沙江流域民间文化的调查研究和抢救工作迫在眉睫。
关于金沙江流域民间文化的调查研究和抢救工作，早在上世纪80年代就有人关注和研究。金沙江流域是藏彝走廊的重要组成部分，生活着纳西、藏、彝、傣等12个民族，成为研究西南历史文化绕不开的一个重要区域。同时，金沙江流域丰富的自然和人文资源开发在即，国家对金沙江流域开发主要表现在建立诸多大型电站，这是经济和社会发展的需要，这是国家发展战略的实施。在开发这些资源的同时，对丰富的民族民间文化、历史文化进行抢救显得格外重要，在这样的关头，站在历史的角度上，我们这代人不得不面对。
对民间文化实施现实保护的商讨
许多民族的文化样态和意识形态体现的是一种“全息文化”——自然、生活和文化被融入到自己的一套独特的宇宙体系观中，这个体系观不仅保护了人还保护了自然环境。所以，纳系族群应致力于实施人与自然的协同保护。
母语保护是民间文化保护的重要内容。就母语保护而言，最重要的是实施政府保护。希望越来越多的纳西族群同胞有自觉的母语意识，认识到这是在保护民族文化的底线。
对各种民间文化门类的传人实施保护。各界精英与政府应该联袂合作，培养非物质文化遗产传承人，扶持民间文化重要门类的传人，鼓励建立固定的传习场所，资助传承人开展传习活动，给予适当的生活补助，并且充分挖掘、开放和利用农村非物质文化遗产，发展农村特色文化产业。
