Naxi, Dongba and me

I first met Naxi culture and Dongba tradition in the summer of 2005, douring a pleasure trip made with Riccardo Pattarino and his family around Sichuan and Yunnan: one of the target of our trip was Lijiang, capital of Naxi minority and actually Dongba tradition main centre.

Lijiang is stupend city of Yunnan province of China, and had millenary history I'm tryng to rebuild feet by feet by some researches works, and also by some luky findings and meetings:first of all Joseph Francis Rock books and study notes, Dragan Janekovich and Francesca Freeman meeting, then also by Alessandro Ferro, Mademoiselle Barbara Anzivino, Prof. Ester Bianchi, Prof. Antonio Fracasso, doct. Alexis Michaud, my brother Francesco Zamblera and many many others who helped and are helping me in my research works.

This Dongba session of Xiulong is thought and made to gather and dispose the whole scrappy works I made 'till today, and I'm carryng on like sin this work! So xiulong/Dongba is thought to be updatable and riarranged as soon as I can and need, but the main skeleton of session I'm going to preserve are going to be like today.
