During the “golden week” national holiday that began on October 1st, hundreds of thousands of sightseers came to Lijiang, Yunnan. Among its attractions are road signs and shop fronts, on which pictures and symbols were printed beneath some Chinese characters. They are Dongba pictographs(象形文字), an ancient form of writing which originated among the Naxi—a local ethnic(民族的) group. It was almost extinct until about a decade ago, when local officials cottoned on to its touristic value and decorated the town with the script(书写字母)．

Dongba pictographs were never widely used by the Naxi, of whom there are about 300，000 living in the Himalayan foothills near Lijiang, as well as in nearby Tibet and Sichuan. The best educated among them spoke Chinese and used it for written communications. The pictographs, which date back to the seventh century, provide rich insight into how Naxi people thought about warfare, geography, astronomy and agriculture. But they are extremely hard to read, even for language experts.

Yang Guoxing, an old man who is expert at the pictographs, ran a school from 2010 to 2015 to teach Dongba to children living in the mountains. When Mr Yang was

growing up, “everyone was too busy farming” to learn it. “Now they are all busy with China’s Han pop culture，” he said.

Primary schools in Lijiang teach the Dongba script twice a week, as well as Naxi nursery rhymes. Li Dejing, the head of the Dongba Culture Research Institute, said, “This is not just about keeping alive the pictographs, but letting children grasp the very spirit of their own culture. And it will help to promote tourism in Lijiang.”
