  • The Mosuo people live on the banks of Lugu Lake, in the border area between Yanyuan County of Sichuan Province and Ninglang County of Yunnan Province, and are a branch of the Naxi ethnic group.  The people boost a unique and lively matriarchal culture, where they have many lovers but never marry.  The most notable figure amongst the people is Ci'erzhima, considered the last queen of the Mosuo people.
     
    Ci'erzhima was born into a family of a senior military officer in Chengdu, Sichuan Province.  Even in the early years, during her stint at Ya'an Mingde Girl's Middle School, Ci'erzhima was recognized for her beauty and talent.  Later, she married La Baochen, the head of the Zuosuo Village of Musuo.  In the 60 years since then, she has held the reins of authority, administering the society's internal affairs, political, and economic affairs amongst the people.
