明代木氏土司对东巴教的认同和影响

Headmen Mu's Acceptance of Dongbaism and their influence over it in the Ming Dynasty

Headmen Mus psychologically understood and agreed to various national cultures.They tried their best to preserve Naxi Culture and introduce Han culture and Tibetan culture.It was not only advantageous to the exchange of different national cultures but also satisfied the needs of the believers in different religions.The degree to which the Mus believed in Buddhism or Taoism or Dongbaism varied according to different chinftains but they had never stifled Dongbaism.The degree to which the Mus supported various religions in temple construction may be slight or high,but they had never divested any religion of its power or intersts.The measures the Mus took at that time tallied with the actual situation,helped maintain social order and contributed to the consolioation of the political power.All this indicates Headmen Mu's deep insight and broad mindedness.
