The traditional manufacturing technique to make Dongba paper was created by the Naxi ethnic group in Yunnan province.
The Dongba is an integral part of Naxi culture, and the Dongba scriptures are written in pictographs, the world's only pictographic script system still in use.
Dongba painting, the oldest and most representative religious painting of the ancient Naxi people, is also their most special and characteristic artistic legacy. It is mainly found in the Naxi region of Lijiang City, Yunnan Province in southwest China.
In ancient China, Dongba paper was exclusively used to write Dongba script on. The technique is workshop.
